The chickens are enjoying the lights Jordan installed in the chicken barn. The extra light during these short days will help to keep the eggs coming and the heat lamps supply a bit of extra warmth during the chilly nights. We also have one permanent roost up and will soon be putting up more to eliminate those beautiful Tidy Cats buckets!
The hens have been making good use of the nest boxes.
And filling up the egg buckets.
Jordan also installed lights in the small chicken house behind the barn. And just in time for this Buff Orpington hen to move in with her two new babies. Silly hen to hatch little ones this late in the year!
This Japanese banty chick who was hatched in September hunkers down in the tall grass to get out of the wind.
This handsome little rooster is one who a little black banty hen hatched back in June.
The rosecomb on this Silver-Spangled Hamburg rooster is quite interesting. He seems to be very proud of it and enjoyed posing for the camera.
This rosecomb Brown Leghorn seems to be yelling out a message to the world. I'm not sure if it is a message of pride of alarm, though!
Until next time, may your messages of pride not be confused with alarms!
