We just picked up 6 more chickens from a nice family down in Hampstead. They are doing great with the chickens we already have. They have already found their pecking order. As you can see from the picture they have found the food dispencer. I had a fun time with the family rounding these chickens up at their house. The 2 kids were great at picking them up. The white one is a leghorn and the other 5 are Americuna's. They are still a little young for laying eggs, but we can wait.
The other picture is of the rain barrel finally hooked up to the gutter system. I used a flexible gutter downspout that they have now at the hardware store. I just had to find a longer section of downspout to get it to the barrel. Once the barrel is full, I just take off the extender and collapse the flexible pipe and it fits right into the existing downspout. Now hopefully it will rain to see if it works.
