Nou Poule Genyen Novou Kay (The chickens got a new house)

If you have kept us to date on my blog you would know that the chickens ate Gabes Garden. They ate the seeds, seedlings, and nested in the pots... Our compound has been over-run with chickens since we first arrived here in Haiti.

Some our friends from Texas came in town last week and built us a Chicken Tractor. A Chicken Tractor is basically a mobile home for chickens. They built a beautiful roost with a door and lock (the lock is key) and a little run... However, what they did not do was catch the chickens and put them into the Tractor...

For a whole week we have been out there chasing chickens trying to get them inside this tractor. Our Haitian staff, who are much more comfortable around chickens, caught two of them on Wednesday but there are still many more that need to move into their new home.

This morning finally I tricked 5 chickens into eating some leftover popcorn inside the roost and slammed the door on them! HA! Only 5 more to go. After we cage our feathered friends we can begin gardening again...
