Welcome to my chicken and duck page! |
 | and my rooster Fernando --he's a Dark Brahma. |
new chicks I just got on 2/28/00. They are a Black Australorp and a Red Star pullet. |  |
 | This are some more of the chicks I just got. various pure-breds |
| Here's a picture of some of my chickens scratching for worms. : ) In there I have two Barred Rock, a Black Australorp, a Brown Leghorn, a dark Ameracauna and a White Leghorn. |  |
 | There at the left is my chicken condo, seen from the west end. We built it out of pallets, two scabbed together for height, then stripped of slats for 16", uprights coated with tar and buried. The west half has tree-branch perches and a skylight, the east half has a nest "trough" running the length about 3 ft. up, a ladder, the feeder and waterer, and the door. |
| To the right you see a pic of a Barred-rock rooster. We got him from a friend to breed with our Barred-rock hens, and put the eggs under one of the Australorps I have who is broody. He was a huge rooster and VERY boisterous crowing. The very next night a coon got two of my hens--guess which ones? The Barred-rocks. I took Rambo to auction, and that night the average price for a rooster was $6.50, and I got $9.00 for him. |  |
 | There at the left is my chicken condo again, seen from the East end. From this view you can see the "skylight." The roof is made out of stiff plastic panels (like come under riding mowers from the factory), and one of them was light gray instead of black. Imagine how surprised we were when we nailed it up there and found out it lets light through for the chickens! Way cool. It's the one at the far left end. From here you can also see the roost or nest trough. |
These are the types of chickens I have so far (all hens except the Dark Brahma)
|
I sell the eggs we get everyday to my neighbors and use the money to buy If you want some information on it, you can  Squawk at me. Back to Allen's Page |
