Chckens are coming

It's Chicken time. At last i can make a start on my Chicken house and get some Chickens. No i won't be naming them and maybe one day they will provide a meal or two.

I started be first cleaning out the Chicken house before i got started. First there was a perch to find and put into the back of where the chicken will be housed. Next i had to make a nesting box, so they can have a bit of comfort while laying eggs for my breakfast. I remember when i stayed with Dianne and Terry that in the morning Dianne would go outside to her chicken house to get eggs for breakfast.

After making the nesting box i then put it into position and all looked good. Next i needed some wood shaving for the floor and some food and a feeder. I went to the Co-operative in Gois for the food and the feeder. Coming out i met Robin a English joiner who took me to a joinery shop where i could get as many shaving  as i wanted. With the amount of work this place does they always have plenty of shaving so now i know where to go. Next i need something to use in the nesting box. Robin said that i should use grass as it's better than using shavings.
