Chickens


This year we have done something that my husband has wanted to do ever since we got married... We are raising our own chickens! He built this AWESOME chicken coop... from plans he created and used out of his own head! It is so cool! We also used almost ALL recycled materials from job site dumpsters or donations. We spent less than $100 on it and we have found similar coops online for $2k! Go sweetheart!

We LOVE our chickens! They are much like pets! The kids hold them and talk to them... they eat all my compost materials (fabulous!) and just last week...

TA-DA! Our 1st egg!! We will be selling eggs to neighbors that would like some as soon as production picks up... and we can not wait for the fresh omlets and homemade mayo try-outs!
