Crossing imaginary lines

I went to Worley, Idaho today to pick up some more chickens. After my friend's experience a couple of years ago getting chicks through tractor supply I vowed to not take part in that ever again.

A good and humane source for chickens

I lost some of my chickens right before my move and wanted to replace them. My friend Laurie put the word out recently that we each want a couple more. She found a source of locally bred an non vaccinated chickens for us across the imaginary line in the land of "Idaho".

Early bird gets the worm

I took an early morning trip to get the chickens. It's been a couple years since I drove through the palouse region of Washington. Even though I only went into the northern part it's a beautiful area and was nice to revisit. Lots of old barns and structures from a time that I think I'd like to get back to. Well at least be similar to now.

A smooth transition

I got home and let the chickens out in their new home. After some excitement I thought I could settle down only to watch one fly out of the coop. I tried to catch her in the woods for a while but to no avail.

Come back to your new home

Maybe she'll come back tonight but for now I'm down to 5. She was the only one I didn't get a chance to clip her wings. She flew at my face as I tried to keep her from leaving the cop with another in my hands. Haha it was quite a sught and my neighbors I'm sure had a good laugh watching my follies.
