Cluck Cluck

We just bought 6 hens and thier coop/run set up. We love these gals! These ladies are about a year old and are laying eggs like magic. We get an average of five eggs a day.
We came into this chicken raising in the easiest way possible. Our friend Julia just started grad school on Ohau (different island). She had two flocks of hens at her place here on the Big I. Her house sitters didn't need that many eggs, so she decided to sell a flock and their abode to us. It is a portable coup and run: aka chicken tractor. Sounds glam right...well it is mostly just functional. The coup is made a 3'x3'x'4' hut with a set of wheels on one side so we can tilt it and roll it around. It has two nesting boxes and space for the gals to roost at night. The run is 10'x3' pvc and wood structure covered in chicken wire. It is open on the bottom so the gals can peck and scratch. They love to rip up the grass, so we move the thing daily.
We make about 4 trips out to see the gals each day. Partly because Miley LOVES the birds. (Partly because Timber and I love 'em too.) Miley calls them CHEGEE and stubbornly points outside for us to got for a visit.
I'm reading up on chicken care, so hopefully the ladies have a long and productive life here with us.
