Chicken Coop.....

 This is Emma's chicken coop. She has red chickens and some bk/wh mix. Now you all know I am a city slicker. I think the red is Rhode Island Reds. The Bk/wh ??
 They are growing at least. Emma's father Matt , built a nice pen around the coop. It's not real big but it keeps the Critters out. I can't wait for Emma for find her first egg. Liz and Matt promised to get a picture of that.
This is a huge tree on the property. This seems like a big burl , but also like it could be insect damage. I didn't get too close. Well it is right beside the coop. Hope the tree out last the chickens. Does anyone know what the true name of these chickens, can be?
  Hope your Sunday is wonderful. Ours is starting sweet and sunny....maybe rain later and possibly all week.  xo

    1. Emma will probably want to eat it as soon as a picture is taken. The first time she found a mushroom, she wanted to eat them with her dad. LOL. xoxo, Susie

  4. How cute for Emma. I don't know any chicken names -other than Ethel and Gertrude!;>) That is a huge burl on that old tree.

  5. Oh boy that first egg...poke a hole in both ends and blow the egg out so you can save the shell. That's what I did when I got my first egg from my chickens. I had Aracana's they made small blueish eggs, two eggs were worth one regular egg. Plus we had ducks that layed eggs too....one egg was worth 2 regular eggs.

    Can't help you on the names of your chickens. Maybe Google can? Have a great day.

    1. My SIL just told me that duck eggs were way bigger than a chicken egg. He said they taste very good too. xoxo, Susie

    1. Bee, I think back now that I read your comment, my mom called them that also. Wow. It must be what they are then. Thank you for making me remember. Hope you had a good day. It is getting hot and muggy here. Gaaa, I may have to turn the AC on and I dread it. Take care and have a good week. xoxo,Susie

  12. I have no idea about the chickens or the tree, but I hope they both survive a long time! I'm sitting outside but I think we are in for a storm! (Sunday 7:45) I will meet you at Patti Beck's sometime if you would like to go there. I'm not sure when her open house is yet this year, but it's always a lot of fun.

    1. Cindy, I was thinking that Patty's open house was the same time that Horton's had their French Market...last year. Well if you check out the Horton's blog, they are advertising for July. I'd love to go to both.LOL. Hope we do not get rain all week, like the paper was showing yesterday. xoxo,Susie

  13. I'm scared of chickens. The peck! As a matter of fact I'm afraid of all birds. Don't think I could put my hand in there and grab an egg. The may peck me. The pen is great though:)

  14. Not sure on the black and white ones. The others are Rhode Island reds and they lay extra large eggs. Good layers and good fryers. Those are what I had. Loved them. Love the coup. So cute! You might want to get it off of the ground though. Black snakes will find their way in the there for the eggs.
