Backyard Poultry

Up on Top

There’s nothing like a bird’s eye view of your play pen! We actually had to lift up the chicken run to get this box in and then crawl inside with the feed and water. Getting the chicks back in the box was even harder: luring with treats, scaring with a broom, and climbing in to catch them didn’t work; eventually we created a cardboard/string system to herd them out. Now I know, this is the first reason not to take chicks outside! (Did you spot the chicks huddled in the back corner? They look pretty scared of Acorn!)
