Today’s Run: \u00a0Rest Day<\/p>\n

Today was a day of shopping. \u00a0I shopped on Craigslist for chicken tractors. \u00a0My son is getting me chickens for Christmas (I can hardly wait! \u00a0Fresh eggs!!!) but I need a place to keep my chickens~other than in the house, that is. \u00a0So, I turned to Craigslist for hopefully something inexpensive? \u00a0Ha! Ha!<\/p>\n

I actually found one that looked good! \u00a0And it was only $400.00. \u00a0So, my husband and I talked it over and I made the call. \u00a0The guy had just sold it a half hour earlier. \u00a0boo. \u00a0Back to the drawing board.<\/p>\n

After looking at various websites and the other pics on craigslist, I know pretty much what I want in a chicken tractor. \u00a0I want the roosting part to be 4.5′ x 5.5′ and the run to be 7′ x 4′ x 3′. \u00a0It will need 10″ wheels and\u00a0corrugated fiberglass roofing on the run and the roosting box area. \u00a0Nothing fancy, just the basics. \u00a0Shopping on the Lowe’s website, we have a pretty good idea of supplies and the cost involved. \u00a0We are ready, well almost ready, to build!<\/p>\n

I want a tractor because of the need to relocate the birds every week or so. \u00a0That way they will have fresh grass and new bugs to eat (and in Mississippi, there are lots of BIG bugs!). \u00a0Plus, it will help eliminate smell. \u00a0With a two acre lot, they should be\u00a0manageable.<\/p>\n

I am really looking forward to this Christmas gift. \u00a0I think the chickens will be a lot of fun. \u00a0Whether they arrive as chicks or I get fully grown birds is of no difference to me, I plan on enjoying them either way!\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
