Chickenaholics Anonymous

I free-range my flock. 19 chickens on 44 acres means I don't notice or care about a lil chicken poop.

I'm thinking about guineas this year. I'd love some nice loud birds to alert me to when the neighbor's chicken eating dog has escaped again.

I LOVE my chickens!! I have a hodge/podge of breeds. I buy them to get as many different colors of eggs as I can. As of today, I am back up to ten hens (no rooster).

My coop is a redone utility building and two dog pens put together.







I just picked up three new easter eggers, which brings my EE's up to six. This is one of them.



I have a silkie/cochin cross that has the most engaging personality. Meet Amelia



A Polish named Phyllis (as in Diller).



A new girl, Ebony the Black Copper Moran.



And Rocky, my retired Barred Rock...sold to me as a young bird, but not....





I love my chickens and really enjoy their fun personalities.

Allison, your coop and birds are beautiful!

There could be no better name for this bird! Love her!!

Hamburgs come in other colours, I only have the silver spangled, and a couple of blacks.

Waaaaaaaaa! You people are killing me!
I want chickens again.

I have 6 barred rock hens, 4 easter egger hens, as well as 2 barred rock roosters. One of the roosters lives in the coop with the hens. The other one wanders around the yard. He follows me around like a dog. He won't eat chicken feed. He prefers horse feed, dog feed, or cat feed.
