Hello to Hope and Gypsy

Our chicken coop received some new occupants this week! Hope (Rhode Island White) and Gyspy (Black Australorp) arrived in a cardboard box from Sydney. For a variety of reasons, we opted to buy pullets rather than chicks this time much to Katy's displeasure! 

Once inside the coop, the new duo seemed mostly happy. Willow and Maple were nice enough to their new friends. Hope made herself right at home very quickly - happily snuggling into the new chicken house. Gypsy was a little unsure - perching herself on the roof for the first night. By the second night she had worked out the house was much warmer and not so scary!
