Why we have chickens!

Update from the Williams Homestead!!! Our chickens are living in their newly built coopdominium!! My wonderfully talented husband was able to finish the coop and run (with a little help from the Schwarbergs) and the chicks have adapted well! There are still some finishing touches like a window (with a flower box, of course), wrapping the coop with wood from our old barn, a roost in the run, nesting boxes... I better stop or he'll get discouraged;) Anyway, I am so grateful that they aren't in the house anymore (I'll never do that again!!!) and for all my husband's hard work!

I don't know if I'm anticipating the first cockle-doodle-do or the first egg more!



I'm putting a little wood fence around the base using cut firewood. I LOVE the old barn door he used!






 

But honestly, THIS is why we really have chickens!
