1916 Near Cook, MN. Anttie and Sophie Rankila. Earliest family picture with chickens. Funny how a couple chickens look like white blurs because they can't sit still for the long exposure time. Not at all like the stoic Finns who could hold a grimaced face for hours. House built by Juha Tekkoniemi 1892.
Mr. T...24 week old Buff Silkie rooster.
Feed shed on left in foreground. Run and coop in the background. Compost bin on the far right (low brown structure)
The run on a November night. Coop is in back.

This is Webber. She's our darkest Buff Orpington. My daughter's friend (who also raises chickens) suggested that Webber was a rooster because of her size and comb. Shortly after, Webber removed any doubt by laying an egg a day for the next week. COCK-a-DOODLE-NOPE!!
Original 2014 coop made out of kids' old fort. Sits vacant now with long grass all over the place.
