So I had chickens out and running around now! They had tons of trees to go in so this was about my biggest problem, I ended up having to leave them out for a few more days because I couldn't catch them.... well that didn't seem to work because they were now dwindling down yet again! And on the last day I finally had some help to catch them, right before we got out there a chicken was killed from one of those darn chicken hawks (gah!!). We caught the other two and put them in the coop once again (brown leghorns), they didn't seem to happy about that but we got the run finished not too long after, we were done! Down too two chickens but hey we saved two!!
A few months after I went to my grandparents for the summer and had someone else taking care of them (I was gone for about 2 months) and when I got back my two chickens were gone and I had 17 new chicks! (what in the world?). So I had to figure out how in the world I got these guys and were did my chickens go?
I asked my friend who was taking care of them at the time and said "your chickens were eaten by a coon and someone else gave you these," (another person I know). Any way I now had 17 little chickies to take care of :) I knew nothing about what breeds they were but I soon figured it all out as they grew.
They all grew so fast! I did have one death in the bunch but that was all (he was the runt and got pecked badly by the other chickens :( ). Soon I found that I had seven roosters (Oh my gosh!!). So I kept one and sent the others with a person I knew, who had had chickens at one time (not a good idea! They ended up being treated badly and I will never send my chickens with him again.)
I now had my seven chickens and all were living well! :)
Here's some photos of the chickies :)
