Our cute little chicks are quickly outgrowing their well-ventilated bin.
We let them out to play on our towel-covered couch a couple times a day,
but they really need a bigger and more permanent home soon.
Fortunately, we have handy friends
who came over today to help us build a chicken tractor . . .
. . . using this pattern I bought off of Etsy.
Our version isn't going to be pink . . .
. . . and although we're off to a great start,
it will take us a few more weeks to get the tractor finished
so our chicks will be safe from predators out in our yard.
In the meantime, we took my sister Heather's advice
and asked for a watermelon box at the grocery store
so our growing chickens have a little more space to roam.
Our friends helped me line the bottom of the box,
since our chickens have a bad habit of tipping their water dispenser over.
Cici: Oo! Can we move into a watermelon box too???
Tia: Only if it has a colorful wooden ladder we can destroy.
