Another week begins

Today was quite an eventful, yet laid back day. Raven is currently in her new home, I will miss her, but I am glad she is gone.
Sadly I have decided I don't really like the chicken I bought yesterday. Don't know how that happened.
Larry went to a friend and fellow chicken farmers house and brought me back 2 dozen eggs to hatch. Even though I am not ready to start incubating yet, this means that I had to start today and finish cleaning my incubator tomorrow.
Also, Larry bought 2 new buff orph hens and a roo. The roo is not an orph, it is a buff rock, with yellow legs instead of white, but I think my sick roo that I have in the brooder getting well is going to be fine. He did however manage to get too close to the heat lamp and burn the mess out of his feathers, how smart is that.
Along with the new chickens, we got a new big coop, probably half the size of our triple coop, but still big, and a smaller pen and the frame of a pen. It just needs wire. I think we are going to use the smaller ones as runs and attach to the triple coop, b/c as I stated before, the triple coop is going to be enclosed soon.
We started ours hens on layer today. I hope we start getting some eggs soon. I need to get them some oyster shells to help make the egg shells strong.
Here are a few pictures from today, I will try to take more tomorrow if it doesn't rain. I am loving the weather the last two days.
