Chicken Boarding

No chickens were harmed or tortured in the creation of this post!  What I am talking about is having hens come back for a visit.  

We had some renters from last year that decided to adopt their hens.  Once the winter weather set in with all the rain we have had, their backyard turned into a mud puddle and they called for assistance.  They brought their hens over and are staying at our place until spring shows up, hopefully in early March.  

They seem to be enjoying themselves back at our place, visiting with all their old friends and meeting new friends that will be going out this spring.  For some reason though, they often seem to end up in the garage.  Not sure what they are looking for in there, but we have to watch where we walk!  They also like to eat any plants and weeds coming up in our pots sitting outside the garage.

This is a service that we offer to our customers.  If you have grown attached to your hens and would like to keep them full time, but don't want to deal with the frozen water and other issues of keeping them during the winter, we can help.  We will band their legs for identification and then let them stay with us for the winter.  Once spring arrives, we can reunite you with your hens.  We try our best to make having chickens as easy as possible!
