He adores our Seramas. We hatched them in early January and because of the constant interaction, they are super tame and friendly.

We love our babies. They live in the house in a giant rabbit cage, which you can see off to the left in the video. Seramas ROCK!

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!

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!
