We raise
chickens. |
We were
given a
shed we
had to move
and rebuild
for a coop. |
Me and Pitney
dug holes
to put the
4x4's in
for the
floor. |
Michael,
Sam and
Pitney picked
out the
best boards
to use. |
Everyone
was talking
about the
new coop. |
Pitney kept
a close
eye on the
chicks while
we worked. |
The coop
was finally
coming together. |
The coop
should keep
everyone
safe and
warm this
winter.
|
One little
chick got
lost overnight.
We brought
him in the
house and
he soon
recovered.
|
He grew
up to be
a fine rooster.
We call
him Grace. |
Grace inspects
the new
nest boxes. |
Our first
egg! |
Now we get
large eggs
and medium
sized eggs. |
The chickens
like to
clean up
the garden
at the end
of the season. |
We have
Muscovy
Ducks too.
This is
Gretchen.
|
This is
Daddy Duck...Forest
Gump. |
Baby ducks
first swim. |
Baby Ducks
are growing
up. |
|
We raised Barred Rock chickens in 2004.
|
Hen and Rooster
|
Their personalities are much calmer than the rhode island reds.
|
I made chicken "aprons" to protect the hens backs.
