Brave new world

 

Amanda's Cinnamon Queen chicks have outgrown the safety of their brooder box in the shed, so the time has come to venture out into the big world.

In the meantime, the old chicken run became overgrown with squash plants going crazy in that nutrient rich ground. 

After living in a box, the little hens must feel like they landed in Green Oz. Or died and went to a chicken heaven jungle. Certainly, yesterday was the best day of their lives. 

Cinnamon Queens (also known as Black Sex Links) are a fast-maturing breed, so if all goes well they should start laying delicious eggs in a few months. Good luck!
