Great pictures & idea!:thumbsup

We too caught a few predators on a game cam out looking for chicken dinners. Good pics, thanks for sharing!

Lovely coop - I'm sure your hens will appreciate all of the thoughtful amenities you gave them. Congratulations on both of the new places - both look fabulous!

Congrats!

November What? Thanksgiving? Turkey is on the menu? Are you sure????

The look on Beautiful's face cries out.... "Who me? Couldn't be!" LOL BTW, Lovely, healthy looking hens. :-)

Do you still have the rooster(s)?

I should post a video of my girls running at me when they see me - They stop doing whatever they are doing and run as fast as they can towards me. If I am outside they get on my feet, jump up on my lap or just follow me around...They love to just hang out with me or any other human really...

Yep, that's why I should always have my coffee and shower before I get online in the wee early morning! LOL Trying to play catch up and half asleep!

I took the expected life of the coop at 15 years and divided the cost to make it and divided it to get the yearly cost; took that figure and divided it by 12 months, them by 365 for days to get a daily cost for the coop. Hope that helps!

Anyone who has chickens have their own entertainment network! They are funny to watch their antics...they are always doing something. I can't imagine how life is for battery hens - too sad to even think about actually....

That was funny! Thank you for posting!

I too feel bad for chickens raised in those conditions. Watching how chickens interact, forage and run around is only half the fun of owning them. I think we get the better end of the bargain because having those golden yolked eggs are simply delicious and packed with all kinds of healthy...

I am with you there! When figuring out costs, you might as well include everything because as we all know, nothing in life worth having is ever truly free.
