Spring is here, and our bathroom is FULL of Babies!

8. We love our birds.

Barred Rocks and RI Reds have been some of our favorites.

The Barred Rocks are the most gentle, quiet, easy going, matronly of any variety we have had.
They always finish last in the Chicken Races, but don't seem to care.

AFIC, the Reds are proof that chickens are the direct descendants of the Velociraptor.
They are the fastest, most aggressive foragers we have had.
If it moves, they are On It,
and always WIN the Chicken Races.

The Chicken Races happen when we go to the kitchen door in the afternoon, throw out scraps.
and "Chick..,Chick,..Chick" the chickens.
They come racing in from wherever they happen to be foraging.
It is always amusing.

Mother Earth News (we LOVE our Mother) has plans for a variety of Chicken Coops,
from small chicken tractors to multi-level Town Houses.

Good luck with the birds and the coop.
