Leghorn
Reviewed by Chicken Goddess

Leghorns are great egg laying chickens. They are friendly to other Leghorns and can easily fly. The only problems is that they are bad in the pecking order and they can make a mess of the yard....

Its a Work in process we just picked up some hostas and some ground cover clover for around the coop. The whole yard is a project

Who knew this would be come an addiction! I currently have 13 hens and 1 large light brahma rooster. We also have somelittle ones but as I have learned here they don't count. I have started building coops to Sell. I have come up with a company name Olde Tyme Coops hopefully it works out!

Very, very nice! I think when those daylillies fill in it will look even nicer. Do some quick research to make sure they will not be toxic to the chickens. The Honeysuckle is not only pretty, but will smell wonderfully! Great ideas!

Our coop is finally finished. Now on to the landscaping. The only thing I know for sure I am doing is planting a black raspberry bush there on the left side. The area off to the left is in the middle of being cleaned up as the past tenants used the area to burn anything and everything.

If only. Growing anything where we are is fairly impossible. What the animals don't eat the wind takes care of. :(

Loving my poultry. Have Guineas as well!

Ok, I just started reading these but I'm already jealous. My chickens need a serious update. Maybe some vines along the sides.

I have potted plants surrounding half my coop - several hostas that are in the shady area and a rose bush, cannas and aloe plant.

Still on the honeymoon with DH........mom to 2 rat terriers, 2 chihuahua's, 1 barred rock, 2 buff orpingtons, and 1 EE......and 1 14-year old!! All smack dab in the middle of the city.
