Michigan Thread - all are welcome!

Hi Everyone. Just wanted to introduce myself to the Michigan thread. I'm Kelly and a Michigander myself. I didn't realize this was here for Michigan. I have 6 Buff Orpington Hens, 2 of the most adorable little girls, and a couple outdoor cats. I live on SE MI, in a very small town. I have a passion for photography and love to share life on our piece of God beautiful world through my blog, Our Country Chronicles.

Our chickens have all kinds of adventures with my kids from sledding:




To Swimming:




To Laying magical eggs!!

We love our precious Henny Penny's very much and look forward to connecting to other Chicken Keepers in MI! Please feel free to visit my blog and make yourself at home. All are welcome!

Are those Chicken-Ducks??? Did you oil them with Duck sauce before they went in? Please tell me that pool shot is not photoshopped ~ it's too cute.

Thanks for your reply Kimmie!

The coop's run is fully enclosed in hardware clothe, including the bottom. So the chickens run around on the wire where its not touching the ground. This has the added benefit of keeping the little ladies from tearing out the roots of where ever the coop is placed.

WATER, WATER ,EVERY WERE, roads are flooded, basement is flooded, run is just a muddy mess, cost us a fortune to get the yard to drain decently , still fills with water but dries up much faster then it used to


My basement flooded Friday. I am sorry, it is truly horrible to deal with, I know!! My poor washer and dryer, ran continuously Saturday from 8am til 2am Sunday. I came across a tip: if you have books with flood damage, place them into Ziplocks and then into the freezer until you can dry them properly later. And Borax. We only got ~3.5" here. What a pain.

On the bright side, the duck pen was fairly dry all things considered.

RaZ I'd help ya out with those ducks, except I still have my hands full with the fallout from this flood. I hope you find a good home for them quickly.
