Meet my lady friends

We started with the easy chickens... the cement garden variety.














In April of 2009 these little ladies came to live in our garage, in a box, with a heat lamp.  They really liked the corner.


















Now they live in the old chicken coop which sports this add on my husband built. 


















If you think it looks sturdy, it is.  I think in an earthquake, tornado or hurricane, the chickens may be the safest.














They give us these, every day, farm fresh in shades of green, blue, brown and plain ole white.  Lucy, Ethel, Thelma, Louise and Daisy Duke are happy you stopped by.

  1. First of all, I LOVE your header pictures! Seconly, we also have arucana chickens who lay green eggs (aren't they pretty!) And thirdly, what is that cool green container you have your eggs in? I think it's awesome!

  2. Love the new header photo(s)!

    Also, as much as I hate the chickens (due to creepiness), I miss the eggs I get from them...

  3. I concur ... LOVE your new header! The pumpkins are so perfect for the Autumn. We just attended our local fall fair and spent a lot of time checking out all the chickens. There are so many different varieties but I certainly didn't know they could lay anything other than white or brown eggs. That is very cool! I'm glad your husband built them a safe sanctuary for protection. There's nothing better than fresh eggs except when you can get them right out of your own backyard! Have a great day!
