Last weekend I finally got to meet the newest additions to my parents petting zoo, the chickens! They have their own custom built chicken house, complete with egg gathering doors and a lovely backyard to run around in.
They are still a bit young and slightly skittish. All in all they seem to be very happy in their new house and I have been told that they might be getting some new friends in September. They have several different kinds of chickens which all lay different kinds of eggs. They have a few Americauna chickens which lay pale blue and green eggs (think Easter) and some Bantam chickens which will have a smaller egg. These guys were inseparable all day long. Hopefully we will have some fresh eggs to cook with soon!
