Here's our little back yard chicken coop and run.

This is super cute! What do you have in there for chooks?

Well it all started with rescuing two leghorn's. One died so we got three chicks one RIR one Barred Rock and a black Astralorp (not sure if that's spelled right). Anyway totally new to the whole chicken wold for only about two months now but we're loving it.

That sounds like a nice little flock for that coop! Is that a dog house I see on the other side? Provides some entertainment value!

We have two small dogs and a cat. They all free range with our chicks! Everyone gets along great. I think it helps that we had the chicks living in our house for a couple weeks. I also a have one year old and four year old and the chicks love them too. I can't believe how well they just fit into life.

That's just awesome!!! I'm a huge believer/fan in getting kids involved in learning about livestock this way - where their food comes from - how to care for animals, etc..Urban farming at its best!! I wish we would be able to free range ours...but alas...no!

Good luck with your continued adventure!

Yes it really has been a great experience. The baby wakes up and says, "chicky chicky." I really would have never expected to injoy this so much. We only let the girls out when we're in the yard because we have lots of animals that would like to eat them here. But they get out twice a day and I just love seeing all my household playing together. Good luck to you too. Have a great day!

How do you get them to go back in during the "in-between" time?
