My Amish coop.... this is where it all began. I saw this coop in a magazine and couldn't resist buying it, after I convinced my husband that we needed to raise chickens. We had started with 15 chickens.. we are currently up to 30 chickens, with 15 guinea hens being delivered this coming week, along with a hen that has gone broody on us and we are letting her sit on the eggs.

My husband picked these up at a Farm and Tractor supply store. He thought they were RIRs but I think they are Red Productions... perhaps a mix between RIR and buff orpingtons. No mater what, they are mighty cute.

Elvis, my Black Copper Marans rooster.. that I picked up for a very nice lady in the town near me. He's beautiful and does this little jig around the hens.
