Setting up Chicken Compost & moving baby chicks to Bigger brooder

Setting up Chicken Compost, moving baby chicks to Bigger brooder, dreaming of my Chicken Garden...

 So today was so eventful!  I was able to put together my one bay chicken pallet compost
 Bin!  I'm ready to start our garden!  I'm going to have my wonderful neighbor dig me about a
10 by 10 area(or bigger), pretty much just remove the Bermuda from the top and let the girls cultivate it for a few days and then we have so many vegetable seeds, we will be ready to go with our chicken vegetable garden!

 So here is a picture of all the vegetables we chose.  I mean, my God,  at 20 cents per pack you can't go wrong,  even if you don't have the right soil,  the right timing or the right compost,  we're gonna figure this out,  it's not that hard,  we're gonna be OK!  No matter what, this is a chicken garden,  so as humans we're gonna be lucky enough to get any of the extra vegetables that the chickens don't want. They also are going to get all the plants and greenery by way of compost as well.  Hence the girls pick and scratch at the compost creating more beautiful worked soil is to say huge revolving circle. So excited that our journey with this!  I hope to add 2 more bays to my beautiful pallet compost bin. Here is the future garden spot. Just south of the Pallet Compost Bin.  To the right you see my small breeder coops. Once the grass becomes green, we will start to move them like a chicken tractor daily to new grass, pasteurize these chickens!

So let's talk about my day. My agenda was to get the compost set up which I did and then move the babies out of the very small brooder that was in the kitchen. I moved 32 babies into a larger brooder that I got from a great friends that is an actual a trough for cows.  I used it last year and moved it out once I was done with babies for the year.

I put them in the trough,  gave them food and water and they loved it.  In fact I also fed them a little bit of Andollini's, so as you see they have a little bit of spaghetti face tonight.

So as I stare at my babies, running around fighting over 1/2 of an inch of spaghetti, even though there is a whole bowl of it,  I think...yhey need a perch! So off to scavenge what we have for a perch. At the back of the shop is 2 ricks of wood and I found some smaller diameter logs.  Grab Babylove's screw gun and a few screws and WHALAH!! we have a rustic perch!

Perfect!! Just what they need!!
