The Chicken Palace

Today was a big day for the Cirillo Family Chickens.

They moved out of the two room cardboard shack in the garage...


and into the Backyard Chicken Palace!


Chris (with a little help from the kids) built a manificent chicken house. It's got doors that open in the back for easy egg retrieval and doors that open in the front for air and easy cleaning. It's got hanging perches and ramps, individual nesting boxes and hanging feeders. It really is impressive :).
Moments after he hammered in the last nail and cleared out his tools, the kids and I were in with the hay and cedar chips.



And mere moments after that, the chickens moved in. They were so happy - running around pecking at the ground and checking out their new digs. I know I feel so much better. I thought for sure someone was going to accuse me of animal cruelty if I left them in that box one more day.




...not to mention the garage was starting to smell like a farm!
Happy moving day Chickens! We hope you like your new house.
