This is us.

Hello you fellow chicken lovers!

I've always liked chickens but it's only for a week that I have my very own. And I wouldn't wanna miss them for the world. My friend laugh at me when I tell them I've build a little bench to sit with the chicks. But I find it fun and relaxing.

I've got 3 chickens, 2 young Brahma ladies and one "mechelse koekoek" (flamish name), she was born june 2006. I don't know exactly what the breed is called in English but she looks a lot like the barred rock chicken. Only she has little bit feathers on her legs.

her they are, at the front you can see Charlotte and Joséphine, my Brahma ladies


This is Clara, the barred rock chick?


And last but not least, the coop and bench insid the run that I'm all kinda pround of. It's 80% recycled materials and all handbuild by me. It's not all finished yet, I want to make it more beautiful and fun. With a window and some more dry spaces for rainy days.


Hope you like this Belgian chickenstuff.

Greetings!
Hilde (Zah-zah is actually my cat's name)

 

Thanks guys, I feel really welcome here.

@ buff hooligans: I'm from the north part of Belgium, Flanders. I speek dutch.

@ MissPrissy: Clara doesn't have yellow legs like the Brahma's. As you can see on this picture below. Maybe this breed is just typical belgian/european.

@ 1acrefarm: I don't mind if the sit on the bench. I don't think I could do anything to stop them from doin it. Just clean the bench now and then.



This morning the cats came with me to feed the chicks. I left the fence open a little bit and the neighbours cat came in through the opening but my cat wasn't the clever...she climbed OVER the open fence. It was really funny to see her do that.
