Apparently, my son has decided to be a chicken farmer (if you call four chickens a farm.) It was against our better judgment. If you saw his room you would understand why. Anyway, so far he has shown responsibility for them. He built a coop from recycled materials that were given to him. It’s actually pretty sturdy and will look better once it’s painted.
Here are his chickens:
Butch!
Butch is a Dark Brahma Bantam and was very hard to photograph.
Cassidy!
Cassidy is an Australorp
Sundance!
Sundance is a Red Frizzle Bantam. I call her an angel.
Wait for it…
Wait for it…
Tubby!
Ha, Gotcha. You thought I was going to say Kid didn’t you?
Tubby is a Cornish.
This is what they looked like when he first got them. They were one week old.
It’s a warm one today. Think I might have one of these. (Or maybe three.)
cute! It should be an adventure!
He did a great job on the coop! I am amazed how he was able to put it together out of the bits and pieces he found.
That Tubby is something!
That was adorable. I know that having livestock has helped my kids tremendously with teaching them responsibility. Looking forward to reading how it goes. Have a great day.
We had Bantams when I was growing up. They used to hide their eggs and then come out of the tall grass one day with a string of teeny weeny babies in tow. I loved them! This will be a great adventure! (Great names, by the way…)
