In January, the city of Longview changed the zoning laws and made it possible for us to have 8 hens on our lot! So as soon as the chicks arrived at the feed store, we brought home 12 new babies. Before long, four of our “girls” woke us up at way-to-early hours crowing and had to go and live with friends out in the country. Our two surviving roosters are currently living in our basement freezer…
This summer they started laying and provided us with 6-8 beautiful brown eggs every day. Needless to say, we ate a LOT of eggs this summer!
If you want to read all about our chicken adventures, you can check out our farm blog at The Backyard Farmwife.
They were so tiny but they grew FAST!
By March they had to move to their own place.
This is the closest our farm will get to a little red barn.
