Chickens, Chickens, and more Chickens!

Recently Justin's parents added 430 chickens to their farm!  One evening we all went over there to help transport the chickens from their old home to their new coops at the Strite Family Farm :)  We took 3 trucks and loaded about 280 the first time, then we went back for a bunch of feeders and the last load of about 150 chickens.  


This picture isn't focused but I thought it was funny how everyone else was holding like 5 chickens per hand and here Justin and I are holding one chicken each! :P  The one Justin is holding had gotten away while being put in the cages.  When he went to go catch it he didn't have to run around after it, it just stood there for a second and then walked right up to him!  Friendly little hen!! :)  It was also snowing and freeeeezing cold that night, hence why I'm wearing two hoodies and hubby's hunting coat!!

Unloading them into their new pens at the Strite's.


Look at all those happy hens :)

So now eggs will be available with milk? Finding the eggs is so much fun. I'll help when we visit again. Keep those warm clothes ready for your skiing trip! XO G-mommy
