Cluck cluck chicken chicken!

It's been a little over a year since we brought home six baby chicks. Two Rhode Island Reds, two Buff Orpingtons and two Americauna's. We built them a large coop so they wouldn't be crowded on the days we couldn't let them out to play. We love watching them play, run for snacks and play in the dirt. The girls especially love getting the eggs every morning. I don't think they feel the same way about feeding them.

 

 

These are Rhode Island Reds.
 We have named them Petunia and Stella.

This is one of my favorites, the Buff Orpington's.
 They are named Spiky and Izzie.

The Ameraucan's lay light blue or green eggs.
They are named Rosetta and Pearl.

These little guy is one of five. Four of them are going to my mother in laws and we are keeping this little guy. She is a Barred Rock. Of course she is allot bigger now. I'll update another time. 

This is our coop.
We buried wire underneath so predators couldn't get in and our pet bunny Biscotti couldn't get out.
We left lots of it screened because it is hotter here in the summer than it is cold in the winter.

Lots of fresh saw dust. The hens weren't too happy I was flapping the shavings bag all over the place so they were staying as far away from me as they could. We have 4 roosting boxes. Yes, some of the chickens actually like to walk up the ladder to get on their roost.

One Americauna blue egg and one of the other's brown eggs. We can't tell the difference between the Buff Orpington and the RIR (Rhode Island Red's) eggs.

Here is Biscotti. He/She likes to rest in the nesting boxes also.

Biscotti and the hens love a fresh backyard salad.

They may look dead but they are just chillen in the sun and taking a dirt bath.

This is their favorite spot in the yard.

That's it today!   Genesis 1:21   So God created the large sea-creatures and every living creature that moves and swarms in the water, according to their kinds. He also created every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
