What's up, Chicken Butt?



CJ recently expanded the chicken coop so that the chickens have a run for during the day. The additional space made us want to acquire a few more chickens. I have always wanted silkie chickens, so we purchased two silkies, and another specialty breed called a chantecler. The Chantecler is supposed to be a great egg producer, and the silkies are just fun to look at. If you have never seen a full grown silkie, I recommend googling a picture of one. They are so funny looking, they have extra toes and fuzzy feet, and a real bonus is that they lay colorful eggs...usually turquoise.
