Chickens! Yay, Chickens!

Well, my family finally coerced me into getting chickens again. I got 4 australorp (shiny and black) and 2 red leghorns ( big and red). I also got 2 ducks, a white Pekin and a Blue Roen. The Roen will look like a really big wild mallard (green headed ducks).

We bought a coop, too. My town allows chickens and my neighbors have some. I figure we dealwith their rooster so they can deal with quacking.

They looked like this, when they grew up we gave them to my cousins who had a farm. They became chickens and layed eggs.

I am happy and annoyed. I love chickens, but they are a lot of work. Oh boy.

We had a flock before moving from the country to town. I didn’t know when we moved we could have them here so I gave them all to a friend with land and a pond.

Be careful when you are out picking up chicks. Make sure they are vaccinated first.

I Would Hug A Chicken Tightly If They Would Let Me. . .

Not Too Tight Though, For I Care For Animals. . .

Although I Would Feed Them Everyday, And Water Them, And Tell Them Jokes. . .

No. I’m going to eat the eggs and let them eat the bugs from the yard. I’ve had chickens before and they really cut down bug population.

I have eaten my own chickens, but only when I had too many roosters.

They don’t vaccinate chicks. You feed them medicated feed.

One of the farms I ride by has at least one rooster

You know you’re living when you have a rooster.

We had a huge rooster. We called him Hater because he hated everything that wasn’t us or his girls. We had nothing in the yard, no birds, crows, he even ran off ravens.

They’re big girls, they can take care of themselves and get their own vaccinations.

I know the richer the feed you give them, the more eggs you will get.
