Moving Day For The Chickens

I have been keeping the baby chicks in wire cages in the barn during the day and putting them in the tack room at night for safety. They have outgrown the cages and today they got to move up to a bigger pen. I set up an old ex-pen near the barn and moved the brown egg layers in it. The were so happy! Running and flapping their wings made for quite the comedy show!

The bantams are still small and would squeeze out so they were separated into a couple of wire cages. They are just plain cute! Looks like a silkie and a black frizzle for sure. I need to find my catalog to see what else we have.

But only for the days can they stay out. At night they must go back in smaller cages so nothing has them for supper.
