We have more chickens!

Our boys needed more females around (5-8 girls per roosters) and I wanted to have more eggs laid each week so I've been looking into getting more chickens.

I finally found a lady selling five brown chickens for a decent price about twenty minutes away from us.  So we picked them up last week.  They were kept separate from our flock for three days, and then they were allowed in the coop and chicken run with them, but not out to free range.

This morning I went out and caught, pet, and talked to each one, before carrying it out of the chicken run and letting it go to free range with our flock.  They are much friendlier and more calm than our original birds and they seem pretty happy to be out and about today.
