Our small scale chicken ranch is finally open for business. Well, for our own personal business anyway. A total of nine ladies grace the premises. They have been pretty low maintenance so far. Feed and water in the morning and evening and food scraps as available, clean coop once a week. In return we have been getting 2-6 eggs per day and lots of satisfaction watching them run around doing chicken things. Charlie and Riga were initially VERY excited about our new friends but with a little persuasion (ok, it took allot of persuasion) we've been able to convince them that the chickens aren't toys or food..... not yet anyway.Wednesday, June 4, 2008
