I have some friends who have their own chickens and ducks and they absolutely love it!! I grew up in a farming community and my mother and her best friend started their own little chicken coop, I loved to play with them when I was younger…. One day I would love to have my own little chicken coop (once my husband and I stop moving around so much) … Was there some sort of permit you had to get from your community to have them in your yard?

I’m always so impressed with people that keep chickens. It seems like such a big commitment. I have somewhat of a bird phobia, so I don’t know how that would go over, but fresh eggs do sound amazing! How does Elliott like the chickens? My grandparents had chickens when I was growing up, but lost them to a fox that got into their barn. 🙁

My husband and I have been considering raising some chickens,I think it’s totally cool! thanks for this post, love the coop! I’m just worried about the upkeep (and the fox and stuff getting to them) I pretend i’m tough but really i’m well, a fraiddy cat.

I’ve been waiting to hear about your chickens! I’m still sad I never got to try any of their eggs. We’ve been buying local eggs out here and I’m shocked at the difference between fresh and store-bought eggs—I never want to go back to the neon yellow yolks again! Great post! I’ve had a couple people mention wanting to get some chickens, so I’ll pass this along.

I had chickens growing up (in the city!) and loved it. The eggs are much better. We let them out to walk around part of the day, and the put them back in the coop. We also had ducks. I would love to have them again! Good luck!
