The story of the chickens part 1

Anyone want to know how I got my chickens? Well I think I'm gonna tell you guys :)

I had inherited about 30 chickens from a friend who was moving and she couldn't take the chickens along at the time so naturally I said I would take care of them, no one knew how long I would have them or if they were  gonna stay with me and she was going to get new chickens or not. 

Well they ended up staying, this was my first time having chickens and I truly had no idea what I was doing, but  I seemed to figure things out alright. 

Things went well for quite a while then it all started to go down hill. I went out to the chickens one day and a few were eaten, this was my first time anything had happened like this and it was quite disappointing. From then on chickens were dwindling down every day I didn't know what to do!! 

I had a big dog run thing and I put them in there but someone took them out! I couldn't believe it! And of course these chickens were not tame!! I spent forever getting them in there. 

So my fiend finally cam and got around 10 of the chickens but I now had 8 chickens and nothing to protect them because they took the electric fence too. Now what was I gonna do?! My dad and I had to figure out how to build a run and fast!

I got the last few chickens in the coop and locked them in there for a quite a while, with food and water keeping it very clean. I didn't let them out... but of course they somehow got out! 

Here is a photo of the 30 chickens 


To be continued.... :)
