It is pouring down rain here in Tucson, so I went and pulled the tarp over the run to help the chickens not get wet..
While there, I just for grins opened the egg box... and I had two eggs! My Black Australorps are the only ones with red combs and waddles so, I assume they are the ones that...
I am now able to have chickens again! But since Cherokee wasn't raised with them, I have had a time

Well, last week I told him "These are Cherokee's chickens. You need to watch them and be nice to them."
Who knew that was...
Whenever we had leftover meat scraps, I freeze them in small amounts on a cookie sheet. And then store them in a ziplock bag in the freezer. Then I can add one to Cherokee's dinner each night.

Today we got six baby chicks!! 2 Easter Eggers, 2 Black Australorps and 2 Gold Sex Links. They all fit nicely in this tiny box.
For the next few weeks they will need a heat lamp at night to keep them warm.Thankfully this time of year the coop stays nice and warm during the day.

Well, it is Jan. 18th 20016 and I have started to rebuild Glenn Cottage Eggery!
Yesterday I put in a new patio area for watching Chicken TV.
I hope to put a bench much like this one in that area.

After a 5 year long battle with a few "Chicken/Urban Agriculture Haters" we finally tonight got a unanimous vote from the city council to make amendments to our current zoning laws!
YES!!! I can get chickens again now...
Many of you know that last year I was made to get rid of my chickens that I had raised for eggs since 2008. None of my neighbors complained, I am pretty sure it was the HOA of the condos, across an easement from us, though we were never able to confirm who complained. I was so sad, and upset...

After six years, my coop has settled a bit, and the latch on the door was no longer lining up the way it should. I was blessd this year with a Amazon Gift card from my Auntie Jennie in VA So I bought myself a cordless screwdriver!
