Elaine has been very busy so I'm guest blogging today about our chickens! In case you don't know me, I'm Jessica, Elaine's partner in crime and fellow founder of Aroo Studio. We've been slammed with a huge wholesale collar order, and just got back from camping in Humboldt County. Elaine's Dad was nice enough to stop by twice daily while we were away to let the chickens out in the morning and close them in at night. They put themselves to bed at dusk now, so all we have to do is shut them in, so easy!
The chickens are continuing to grow, they are about 3 months old now. Last week they started making real chicken clucking noises, well, all of them except Mabel who is still peep, peep, peeping away. They've also started to roost more, and yesterday all 5 chickens were in a row on the little roost we made in their run-too cute.
We'll get some photos up soon, we had a bit of a camera meltdown and lost our photos last week. I can't wait to show you how their wattles & combs are coming in. We switched their food to crumbles too, no more chick food for these ladies. When we run out we'll be starting them on laying food! We are already starting to save our empty egg cartons for when they start to lay (most likely in about 3 months time, though Madalyn, a Black Star, may start a bit earlier).
More to come soon, and I'll try to guest post when Elaine gets too busy since I know we have a few followers who have been missing us. Would love to see comments from our readers too!
