Chickens!

Named this beautiful bird Ms. Lacy

Our chickens arrived last month. They grow FAST! They are beautiful, just now getting the fancy feathers. I can't wait to get fresh eggs. I plan to sell some, especially around Easter, most I will share between family and friends. I love eggs, but we can't eat 3 dozen or more a week. Most of these chicks will lay blue and green eggs. NO DYE! I will try and get better pics after we get them moved to a new location.

We started out with them in a stainless steel oval water trough. After 3 weeks or so we moved them to the hutch we made for the guineas. Not long after, we moved them into the 10x10 with the hutch.

Now they are ready to be yard birds, but contained. Sonny has been working on building a new pen. Our chicken house will sit in the middle, and we will have four 10x whatever pens to rotate them. The house may be built on wheels so we can move it around to new area every year. It takes them no time at all to clean an area of anything green.

We have Americannas, Buff Opringtons, Road Island Reds & Golden Lace Windots.
