So...
You gotta train a chicken to go up the stairs...
... to get into their coop...
And you gotta train a chicken to go in through the door...
Before the automatic door closes at dusk...
And you gotta train a chicken to go up more stairs...
To get to their perch for the night...
And you gotta train a chicken to get on the perch...
And not laugh when they don't seem to 'get it'...
And you gotta train 17 chickens to do all the above - not just one...
And you gotta get them to stay on the perch even when they challenge you...
Alli
And you gotta love it when they finally seem to 'get it'!
Lulu
And you gotta train all 17 chickens while one jealous girl looks on...
It has been a busy week for us...
'Cause you gotta train a chicken and we are training 17 of 'em!
Who woulda thunk you gotta train a chicken?
If you are wondering where we are
Just meet us by the coop - we are training chickens!

Wow, I am now reading two blogs that are featuring chickens. Be careful because the woman in Alabama had foxes after hers. Do you have to build them some little boxes or where are they going to lay their eggs? I think it is so wild that you are raising and TRAINING chickens. have fun. Sarah
Steve will build nesting boxes inside the coop in a month or so - we still have a few months before we need them though. I think it is wild too, Sarah! It is a dream come true - I have always wanted to live on a farm and I am indeed having fun. We often stand out in the middle of our property and look all around us - to know it is all ours is surreal! Thanks for your comment!
Love it! Don't you also have to train Chelsea to help train 17 chickens? Live you, Sis :)
Haha! I mean I LOVE you, Sis...
