He and Richard built a nice sturdy gate into the chicken run.
I have ordered baby chicks. They will arrive on April 14. I can't wait.
There will be 16 chicks. I wanted a mixed flock of interesting breeds. I chose breeds based on cold hardiness, docile dispositions, and funky feathers. I'm not concerned about whether they are good layers -- we don't need a ton of eggs for two people. There were a few breeds I wanted but couldn't get -- it seems my favorites are popular with a lot of people.
Our flock will be a mix of Blue Andalusians, Ameraucanas, Barred Rocks, Polish, Lakenvelders, Brahmas and Cochins. I wanted, but couldn't get, Buff Orpingtons and Marans.

I like the fancy breeds too .We actually raise silkies and Frizzles to name a few.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a great set up for them and you. Nice work (again) Brett.
ReplyDeleteThat chicken is so pretty. Good luck with your new little flock. I added two little light brown ducklings to my feathered pets yesterday. Your chicken coop and yard is amazing. They will love their home. I am hoping for a new duck house to put in the garden in the near future.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of the super cute goat house Brett built a while back. I love his work! It will be fun to watch your birds grow.
ReplyDeleteNice chicken coop and a window even! I like the color too. It kind of reminds me of a Caboose. Very cute.
