Chickens

We got 22 new chickens today and traded in the old ones. I have 17 chickens my,9 year old sister has 1, my 6 year old sister has 2, and my little brother has 2. We got rid of our old chickens because I forgot to close the coop one night. Since the door was open a raccoon or something got into the coop and had a chicken dinner (a 12 chicken dinner).  Needless to say, the chickens are a little afraid of the coop now.  Which means we have a 4 person chicken rodeo every night to get the chickens in the coop.  The rodeo was fun for me, but not my parents.  We are a month later and still having chicken rodeo's every night..... not so fun anymore. 

We traded our old chickens and got the new ones today.  I had to get my 6 into cages this morning to take them to the new farm.  I couldn't catch 2 of them and Mom had to help.  When I gave up the chicken wrangling, my mom said,''You have to help me get them in the dog cages or you have to shoot them."so I then got to helping and we got them in the cages.

The car ride with 6 chickens was horrible.  Dad forgot to leave his truck, so we had Mom, 4 kids and 6 chickens in a mini-van.  If you think that is bad.  On the way home we had Mom, 4 kids covered with chicken poop and 22 chickens in the mini-van.  It stunk so bad. 

There was chicken poop all over us..... all over the inside of mom's mini-van....... all over the 2 dog kennels we used to transport chickens........... all over the 4 wheeler (we used to get the dog kennels full of chickens to the coop)........... and all over us (did I say that?).  It was a disaster.  We spent almost the whole morning and half the afternoon chasing chickens, cleaning chicken funk off things, moving chickens and cleaning the coop.  Here are pictures of our new chickens.
