Busy chickies

I left on vacation for 10 days. Before I left I moved the chickens over to the stall I used for raising the meaties. It gave them a lot more room, which was important because my house sitter would not be able to give the birds a few hours of out-and-explore while I would be gone.

When I left I took the four eggs with me that had been laid thus far. When I came home I had a big surprise in the barn refrigerator.

Not only are both Ameraucanas now laying (all the green eggs) but a few of the brown egg-layers have also started. I'm guessing there are probably 4-5 of the 8 laying now.

I should probably finish the chicken tractor so they have a proper place to hang out.
