Chickens are finally on the range

Okay, we have been SLOWLY working on this range coop for a while. We want to move it around the property a couple days a week but as you can see the coop is still not done. We still need to add the roof. But we ran out of money this month! Oh well, we'll finish it next month when we get a new infusion of Farm cash from our general budget. But we just had to let them out to eat the bugs and grass and to see the world. These are our broilers. They are white Cornish Rocks and they are huge. This is the only time we are going to grow these particular birds we are ordering the dark Cornish for the spring and we will try to maintain a flock of them as meat birds. They do not require assistance with reproduction like the white Cornish do. So let it be known any bird that is relying on me to come by with a turkey baster will be going extinct, because it ain't gonna happen! Once we finish the thing I will post the directions. After this we will be building a coop half as tall and converting this one into a duck house! We made it too tall because I did not look closely at Farmer Jason's! Our goal is to have two of these range houses and moving them around the yard. We should be able to produce about 40 broilers every 10 weeks. Right now we are building a turkey house & pig pen. So like George Jefferson said "we're moving on up!" just not to a penthouse to a pig pen!
