I’m sure I wrote about getting chickens here on the farm. Well we did get them and they have been very productive.
We didn’t know what to name the rooster, yes he has a name lol The nice lady that rents the house with her husband said when we brought them home “Look at the rooster, strutting around all cocky like he owns the place… We should name him Kenny”. We all laughed (that’s her husbands name) lol then she said ” it can be Kenny and his Bitches”, I thought we would all die laughing.
As I got up and headed out to feed them this morning Kenny is crowing and the girls are all waiting for me. My first thought is I wonder if other people that have chickens can go for a walk with theirs? Yes I can open the gate and let them out and they will go for a walk and come back with me, silly chickens. They will follow me everywhere, if I leave the shop door open I’m sure they would come in and just hang out, it’s not what I expected.
The weather has changed here and that brings me to my second thought… What to do about heat for them this winter? I really don’t want to get rid of them I need a small coup to put a heat lamp or something to keep them warm. With the weather change so fast it won’t be long and it’s going to get cold. It has already been in the high fifties a couple nights.
Have a great Tuesday

One reply on “Silly Chickins”
I don’t know much about chickens anymore. I did have some when I was a kid and some would follow me around while others were just mean. The mean ones would try to peck at my feet which made me less than fond of some of them.
As for a coop. I lived with my grandparents and the chicken coop did have a heat lamp in it. I just don’t recall much about it though. As my grandparents depended on the eggs there wasn’t any way they would not have them year round. Where they lived it would of had some freezes but not long periods of cold weather.
I think that is really cute that Kenny and the Bitches follow you around.
