Beginnings At The Farm (Chickens)

So we moved into the farm in the summer, June / July 2021.  It wasn't long before we got ourselves some chickens and learned all about "chicken math."  Mike has a friend who has some turkeys, and after meeting the turkeys, we decided that we wanted some of those as well.  

We originally started building a coop outside, and quickly learned that wasn't the way to go.  Our new coop (which is now almost complete, and is being used as we speak) is inside the barn barn (technically a huge multi-section lean-to) and is all nice and fancy for our feathered friends.  We've had pretty decent luck with the chickens and turkeys, and have only lost a few to acclimation issues and a few to predators.  Hopefully those numbers stay low, as we like our feathered friends!  Our chickens just recently started laying eggs (late Dec 2021) and we hope the turk turks are soon to follow.
