My welcome thread (pics inside!)

post #1 of 12
Thread Starter 

Hello backyard chicken community!  I live in Denver, CO with my wife and 2 year old son.  We decided to give chicken ownership a try after reading The Urban Homestead and never looked back  Here are some pics of our process.  I want to thank my amazing wife for making this happen (and young Eddie for all his hard work as well).

 

1  The big leap.  We went to "check out" the chicken swap in Denver on 6/2/12 and this is what we came home with.  A kindly old farmer exclaimed on our way out that "You're in the chicken buisness now!"

Here is my son Eddie meeting the babies for the first time, gentle now!

Getting started.  Measure twice, cut once!

Starting to look like a coop now...

The're getting so big so fast! I think that they would make a fine pet for a pirate.

The finished product.  It has a nice rustic appeal, don't you think?

And here are the girls enjoying their home for the first time!  Thanks for taking the time to read this, and salutations backyard chicken community!

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?

 frow.gifwelcome-byc.gif from Australia! Glad to have you join us!

Enjoy the site and good luck with the poultry keeping!

If every single person were to stop buying cage eggs and become environmental activists, the world would be a better place. 

 

I went to Mcdonald's and asked for some fries. The cashier said 'would you like some fries with that?'

Life was much simpler when Apple and Blackberry were just fruits.
