Moving into the Buck Pen Today we moved the bucklings into the Buck Pen, 100 yards away from their moms and twin sisters. The girls came along to keep them company thru the fence for the first few hours. I lured them to their new pen with food.

New Home For the Boys
Bucklings need a home If you have been following the blog, you know that the Bucklings are growing up faster than I expected.

Got the call At about 2 pm yesterday, I got the call from Peavey Mart to come pick up our chicks. Immediately, I got in the car and was going to head out.
