Rob, owner of Backyard Chickens, has done it again!
Building Chicken Coops for Dummies is out and it’s a fantastic book to own! If you ever wanted to build your own coop for the chickens you already own, or if you are interested in getting chickens in the future, THIS is the book to own!
Be sure to also head over to Backyard Chickens and see all the wonderful information and also join the forum!
I just found this lovely chicken blog/story. Lauren is a gifted writer and also an artist. Her story telling is fabulous, the photographs fantastic and her illustrations, OMG!!! They are out of this world.
Do head on over and read her story.
This informative book was written by Kimberely Willis and Rob Ludlow. Rob is the owner of Backyard Chickens website and forum. Backyard Chickens is the most well-known website to ask questions or find out any information one could want to know about keeping chickens.
With the popularity of urban farming, self-sustainable living and an all around changing of the way people look at where our food comes from, keeping chickens is more common today than it has been in decades.
In this book, you will find out everything you need to know and keep this as a “go-to” reference for everything related to having your own happy and healthy chickens in your very own backyard.
Don’t forget to come on by Backyardchickens.com and visit, you are guaranteed to be hooked!
Since this blog is one of several I have and each one is on a different subject, I have decided to do some changing.
My main blog is Crazy for the Country. It is my family blog, where I post about anything and everything in our every day lives.
Besides my main blog, there is this one, Oh Chicken Feathers. Then, I also have Calling It Quilts, Hugs by the Pound and Stepford Housewife.
I am going to make all of my “secondary” blogs into informational type blogs. I plan to post at least a couple of times a week on each of them, each post will be very specific. For instance, here on Oh Chicken Feathers!, each post will be about a specific breed, book, chicken related gadget and the like. This format will carry over to each of my other blogs, keeping Crazy for the Country as my main “what’s happening” blog for our family.
So be sure to bookmark each one and come back often. This change will start tomorrow, June 1, 2010.
Enjoy!
I found this post over on The Little Egg Farm blog and wanted to share it with you!
Two months later and finally a new design.
So what do you think?
I like the template layout I have installed, but wanted something lighter, brighter and not quite so many things making the header busy.
I will be writing soon about our two breeds of critically endangered chickens. Watch this week for it!
I have tweaked and tweaked. I just cannot get this blog to look like I want it to. In the next several days, I hope to have it looking new and much nicer. Stay tuned.
Since we live in the city limits, and do not have a large enough lot to legally keep chickens, all of our chickens live in cages in the garage and in huge plastic tubs in my sewing room. We are hoping to have their coop and run built out at our new farm/acreage in the next few weeks.
Yesterday, we decided to let the oldest chickens “free range” in our backyard. It was total success. No crowing at all! WHEW! Most of them wanted to stay close in human contact and hung around on the porch. We’re planning on doing this every afternoon for them, and maybe eventually, they will enjoy getting off the concrete and scratching around in the yard.
I’ll get some photos posted soon.
