Our Chickens


In the spring of 2013 my sister Sarah finally got some chickens.  She had always wanted some sort of farm animal, and since we live in the country (we don't farm), why not get some chickens for laying eggs?
We got the chickens as chicks.  As they grew we had to change the size of their living space.  Right now we have 9 hens and 1 rooster.  My dad built a coop in the back of our barn for the chickens to have indoor and indoor access.



Sarah can collect the eggs from the inside of the coop.





Or, she can collect the eggs without having to go inside the coop.


Sarah has named each and every one of the chickens and she can tell them all apart.



The chickens have a little doorway to get from the inside to the outside of their coop.  There is a little sliding door that goes up and down in front of the door.  During the day, the door is open and at night, Sarah closes the door and locks all the chickens inside.
                      


 And, since I am outside with the camera, here are some pictures of some other furry friends.


Sarah's rabbit Serena.




We have several barn cats.
