Something getting into chicken coop

[quackiemama]

What a cool looking coop! Good job!

That is my gazebo that they love to hang out on the porch. That would be a good looking coop though. Mine is not that cute. And theirs certainly is not anywhere remotely that cute. This is my coop and run. It is a bad angle so it looks smaller than it actually is

 

[Miss Lydia]

That is beautiful and so clean and green how do you do it?

 

[quackiemama]

Thank you. Well we have had a lot of rain followed by beautiful sunshine. Oh and I am going to attribute some of the healthy green grass to the duck water. I dump the little kiddie pools out into the yard. The deeper black pool I have a hose attached so when I empty that one it goes into my tomato plants.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Well if we had grass. What little we had the chickens took care of way back so now I grow it in pans for the waterfowl. And the chickens too. It’s so rocky here not much grass will even grow. But we sure do have the worms with all this rain we’ve gotten and of course the ducks favorite Mud

Oh wow they are beautiful, what kind are they? Look at those tail feathers.

 

[quackiemama]

My tomato plants are growing like crazy and I thank the duck water. I have to keep them in an enclosed garden box or the deer will just eat them all in one night. Ask me how I know? We are overrun with deer around here.

Rufus is going to be 10 yrs old Aug 1st he is game/ game Bantam. My other one is Miss Kitty she is Cochin Bantam she’s 4 this year.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Wow those are some healthy looking tomatoes. No garden here between the chickens and the deer we just go up to the farmers market for fresh. I wish I had planted hot peppers though I love fresh Jalapeños .

 

[quackiemama]

Oh wow that is Rufus that you had told me about? He does not look like he should be 10 soon. He is absolutely beautiful! She is a gorgeous hen too.

 

[Miss Lydia]

He sure doesn’t act like it either. He loves his girls and has always been an awesome rooster he is the only one left out of my original flock.
