Welcome To Chateau "Lay" Coop
This all started when my daughter's science teacher (and very good friend of mine) decided to hatch chicks in her classroom this spring
Well, that was all it took and one baby chick has turned into many!! And what started as a simple little coop for just a couple of chickens has grown!! But we couldn't be happier - we have loved learning about raising chickens and nothing beats the look on my daughter's face when she found her first egg!!
Here is the coop and run being finished. Now let the landscaping and decorating begin!!
Gem: our blue orp rooster as a baby and now at 5 months : sadly, Gem is looking for a new home
but he is such a handsome boy!! He is a HUGE rooster and a bit too big for some of our smaller girls
Cookie: EE
Marsha and Delores: our silkie babies
Marsha and Delores growing up: You can see who my daughter's favorite is
I now understand why everyone says that Silkies make the best pets for children. We had to search high and low to find these two babies and it was worth the search!!
Henrietta: EE and Millicent: Buff Orp enjoying some free range time
Our Guinea Keets enjoying a fresh summer breeze
Annabell: one of our blue orp hens
