Getting Ready for New Chickens

Kevin nobly spent many hours in the last couple of weeks cleaning out our chicken coop. He removed the nesting boxes and the piles of wood shavings.  He removed...other stuff that is good for gardens. 

Yesterday he mixed up a bleach/water solution and sprayed everything down. We are hoping that bleach will kill any lingering germs.

We threw away our watering cans and bought a new one.

The new chickens are coming in 6 days, hooray!

It'll be interesting to see if the baby comes before then.  It could be an exciting combination of events, having new chickens and a new baby.  Chickens are way less important, of course!

I am looking forward to having chickens again.  I hate throwing away extra food that doesn't get eaten.  And they are so picturesque.  The chickens will be about 20 weeks old and therefore not laying eggs quite yet, but should within a month or so.

When my last little one was born I did the same thing.... got chicks right before. Plus, we had new baby rabbits... four litters that were ready for new homes after the baby was born. It was interesting at our house. I figure you can't have enough "babies"! :)
