I just seen this posting. I will talk to hubby about a road trip. Sounds fun.

You deserve to win. Beautiful coop and must be a show place for many good conversations. Enjoy many days watching those hens.

The chickens and our one white duck are doing good. Somedays they aren't eating all of their morning feed. There is snow in the yard and they seem to like free-ranging in it. I just leave the coop yard open and close our door to go in the coop, and they are acting like they always have. I sure...

I feed them with an old fashioned white cook pan, don't know size but scoop up about three 12 oz? sour cream cups. Please reply to my request. I just starting having chickens this spring. I know the eggs are really rich and my co-workers comment on how good they are.

How much of the feed per chicken? I have 15 laying hens and 1 duck. I know I feed them a couple times a day, and they are free range. But would like to know that I am feeding them enough. We have woods around us, so they are always turning over leaving and such, plus the food.

Great saying about Jesus's love. The chicken's look like they are having their own "recess time". Thanks for sharing the pictures.

I did the few days in the coop to get them familiar to their new home. Usually by 8:30 or so, they go to the coop themselves. My daughter's chicken's go to her porch step when they are tired, then she has to put them in their cage. Coop is almost finished. We are new with chicken's and have...

Your babies are adorable. What kind of ducks do you have?

Yeah those raccoons are not nice. The one area we didn't get sealed was maybe 4 inches high where the roof under front was. Well one coon managed to get in there and killed our big duck and one smaller black pullets, and then couldn't get out. Son shot it, and husband finally sealed in the...

Never heard of Belles on M-40 or an auction to get chickens. Yes, I am new at the chicken raising thing. Wouldn't mind more information on them for future purchases.

What kind of chicken is pictured on your profile?

We just started raising chickens and added two white ducks. I bought ten and then added another eight, when going back to TSC for a better feeding dish. My daughter and her family decided to buy six at Easter time. We live outside of Marcellus, MI. My husband John and I (Penny) have been...

Marcellus, MI. which is west of Three Rivers, MI between US-131 and M-40.

Are those full grown white ducks compared to the large chicken? Very cute pictures, never seen those kind before.

Sounds like you are close to where my older sister lives in Alanson. Wow that's a lot of chickens. I have 16 red/black pullets and 2 plymouth rocks, then added 2 white ducks. They are very entertaining for all of us, my husband has even started to enjoy them more. Have a great Memorial Day!
