Our two chickens

Clare has been wanting to get chickens for several years now. The itch came back this year, and she spent a bunch of time looking at coop designs and trying to find chicks on craigslist. Last week she found some one on craigslist selling their coop and chickens and all the supplies for a really great price, so she pounced on it, and we now have chickens. They seem pretty happy, and they seem to bring Clare and Spencer lots of happiness, which makes me happy too.

    Do you have to heat the coop in the winter?

    No, because that's when you eat them.

    For moderate cold, the waterer is heated and there is a warming block like you might use with lizards. For bitter cold, the coop is mobile and could be placed in the garage on some plastic.

    How many eggs do they produce?

    They lay about 1 egg each per day.
