The New House

Backyard Poultry

Still Babies

Welcome to the brand-new chicken house! We were very pleased to move the chicks in the night we finished it. As we found out, they weren’t as pleased! Once inside, they began cheeping loudly in the dark, unfamiliar house. After we gave their box and light back, they finally all perched on top of the box sides and went to sleep. In the picture, they’re huddled on their baby roost the next morning rather than the new roosts above . . . Chickens are sure slow to change!
