Excellent weather, Happy chickens and delicious food! Beauuuuuutiful!
Thank you Jesus!
I just completed another chicken coop for some friends with new chickens. It is a big one and I am pleased with the final result.
Here is a short video of the coops new home.
Here is a long video of some of the progress.
I wnt to the home of some folks I know and got to meet their ducks and chickens. The video documents the visit.
Itty Bitty jumped in a bucket and I went out to investigate. Itty Bitty enjoys exploring everywhere and often gets herself into trouble.
Pot pie has to squeeze in next to Harriet to lay her daily egg because little prissy Harriet is all broody and insists on staying in Pot Pie's favorite spot. Harriet has not even laid any of her own eggs in the last two weeks so as soon as Pot Pie lays one and leaves Harriet plops down on it and commences to defend it by screaming and pecking if you try to take it.
Most days when I go out to the chicken coop I find three eggs small medium and large for each chicken in our back yard.
A couple of days ago when it rained I stepped out back to find wet hens.
Easter was glorious this year.
The gals are doing just great. I am interested to see how they will fair in the hot summer to come.
Hey everybody you have got to see this. I went to my first poultry show in Inverness Florida January 26, 2008 at the Citrus County Auditorium. I heard about it at www.backyardchickens.com. It was fascinating !
Having a great time helping with a friends coop. We will be off to get them a chicken soon!
She is a noble bird and has really become quite tame. She loves visitors and if you sit out back in the lawn chairs she will quickly come over and hop in your lap. She seems to have made our backyard home and fusses around just inside the fence pecking and scratching around all day long.
When the light form the sun begins to dim she makes her way up the ramp of her coop and settles down in her waste basket full of shredded news print for a good night sleep. She rises at about 7:15 am and make loud clunking noises until I come out and open her door for another exciting day of pecking and scratching.
Pot Pie's new coop is on its way to being completed.
I brought a few enthusiastic people by to have an audience with Chicken Pot Pie.
Pot Pie was a little impatient seeing as it was getting way past her time to roost.
She is a patient bird but when push comes to shove she is feisty.
