- Chicken head of Black Australorp
So we put together the chicken coop in an evening, roofed it on another, put wheels on the house and we’re kinda done for now. Here are the girls:
Lieutenant much-poo
Cuckoo
Brown Leghorn
Black Australorp
Of course, this idea, like every cool one we ever have, is entirely my wife’s. Here’s the coop that Jack built.
A blue man coop.
All these and more chickens and goats available from the Split Rail Family Ranch.
Chickens! I don’t have any, but will when the time is more suitable. I’ve heard from friends that the Araucana breed is particularly pleasant to have as they have easy going personalities, are very good at foraging for their own food (which means they eat lots of bugs, which means their eggs are extra high in Omega-3s and have those rich dark orange yolks) and their eggs are a very pretty blue-green color. I guess with your plant starts growing inside and your chickens making fertilizer outside, gardening might be in order?
It was fun to find you guys online, I was on the phone and needed my mom’s work number, googled her and found her website, noticed Marina’s name on the bottom and came here. .. You have such sweet and wholesome things happening in your life, it’s wonderful.
Yes, those are great! All 4 are laying now and we started to give away some! We are still working on our Tomatoes garden, but as far as yard maintanance, the chickens are great! They ate all weeds
so JJ, these are your precious chicken gang… awesome!
They are a lot of fun. We lost the Wyandotte to raccoons when we first moved here… are there raccoons in the Philippines? I’ve also added a couple more gals to the mix since this post… obviously need to update. These are the original 4. I have 7 right now and I’ll probably adding another in the Fall so my daughter can enjoy raising them from a chick.
