Transformation is the name of the game in this photo. Our back yard has this old dog pin in it. Since our dogs are treated like a king and queen they spend their days with us and rarely, if ever in the pin. With that in mind we got the idea to change the dog pin into a chicken pin. Phase I, as soon as some of this snow melts we'll make a few repairs to the fence, put on a new gate and erect the chicken coop. Phase II, early May we have a friend that is turning over his flock of ten laying hens for us to raise. We'll be taking over a few different variates of chickens (Road Island Reds, Latrops and Araucanas) with about 80% of the eggs being blue/green in color. Phase III, get first hand experience raising chickens, collect eggs, make omelets. Stay tuned for chicken farm updates.
