This past week the chicken flock received two new chickens. Two of the older chickens moved on to a new home with a friend in Ocean Beach, and two new poulets joined the flock. It's common for farmers to refresh their flock of chickens every few years--usually the older chickens end up in the soup pot!
Our girls retired in style. Here are some images of them, in the crate, feeling a little nervous, and then getting over their fears at the sight of their lush new home. The salad bar was apparently tasty.
Later, Lucia and Lucy came to check out the coop which will be their new home. They've got some growing to do, to catch up to the size of their big sisters. We'll be keeping them in the coop probably the first few weeks until they know where they are. Welcome, little ones!
