In the early afternoon we moved the bunnies home. We took some time setting up the old dog kennel for them. It seemed so small compared to their regular home and without shelter- even with a board on top. I'm worried about raccoons. Shei Shei (Elder Sister) Mosquito, who is my main helper in all of this, suggests using the small chicken house we used as a brooder for Roxy last year. Mosquito cut a ramp with dad, Beekeeper Ant, and voila, shelter. I hope I can still brood baby chicks this year. I guess we will have to find another way.
We prep the coop by cleaning it out and adding more roosting sticks. We go to pick up the chickens after nightfall because everyone has already gone to roost. They are much easier than the bunnies. We just slip the school chickens in with our sleeping hens.
Garden Math: There are 4 school chickens and we have 4 chickens already at our house. How many chickens do we have in total?
Happy St. Patrick's Day,
