we used to live in the woods...I loved it so much.
I dreamed about the woods last night and the fall colors...
I was very happy when i got some money to build a coop for my birthday.
I bought a $500 shed (7 by 7) at an home improvement store. We had a friend build it for us.
He extended the roof for an outside run...
Zacky there...
You have to dig all around and bury the chicken wire for predators...
This is a big coop...
This picture is the first time they poke their head outside. I raised them in my garage and they were so ready to be outside!!
All finished...
I want some day again have chickens...It was a lot of fun. Hope you enjoyed this and that it inspires you to get your own coop.
Once upon a time Frenchy told herself that she would only buy chicks if she could buy Americanas and White silkies at one stop. Then Saturday she went to
IFA farm store and there they were...saying Mommy take us home...LOL
We have now 5 Americanas chicks. All pullets (girls). They look like Chipmunks.
This is what they look like grown up. They lay blue and green eggs.
And 2 White Silky chicks. Feathers on the legs, blue beak and skin.
Here is one all grown up. They are Bantam and stay small and lay small eggs. Not very good layers, they are fun and great pets. I am most likely to have a rooster out of the 2.
Here is one of my funny video... You can hear Lola, my Fairy and me at the end laughing.
I have Chicks fever...I want to incubate and hatch chicks so bad !
I have the incubator and i know how to do it.
I did it 2 years ago and loved it. It was a great learning experience.
I raise the chick in a plastic storage bin and then...
I would need a Chicken coop...
Little Mango...I helped her out of her Shell...I can remember her staring at me. She was stuck.
I miss her. We had to sell her when we moved.
The blue eggs are from easter egger Chickens. My favorite.
My other favorites are White silky Chickens. But they don't lay very well. More of a pet.
I can't resist...
It takes 21 days to incubate chicks. So i would have to start on April 4th to get chicks on Easter day.

I don't have any...I don't like anything. This was our conversation few years ago with Hubby. Then, it hit me...I had lost myself. It happens to a lot of Moms...Then i went on a journey to find what would make ME happy, exited, fulfilled. Now i have so many hobbies, i can't count. Pets...love them...Hatching my first chicks...moment we all still talk about.
Birthday cakes...The amazements in all eyes.
Photography...As to try to catch a precious memory.
And laugh...Mommy it's cold in Utah...
I am a happier Mom, my kids are happier around me. I teach them by example, that if they work at it, they can do anything and love every moments of it. Life is fun and i love to do so many things now. Life is beautiful.
