They're looking good!

That’s an awesome chicken coop. Thanks for sharing.😊

So nice of you- my mom and dad put a lot of time into setting it up. Now they have to convince the chickens to leave it to free-range the back yard.

Yes, Brent’s mom has a beautiful barn for them! They are a fun addition

[@IslandsnHighlands]

The barn is really beautiful! It’s like a chicken Hilton :-)

My grandfather and my father bred and showed Rhode Island Reds. I raised different breeds and also pigeons.

That’s so cool! It’s been fun having chickens to play with at my moms again

Chickens are so awesome! I have some of the same breeds, Barred Rock, Rhode Island Red, and leghorn. I can pick up and pet my Barred Rocks and RI Reds, they're pretty docile breeds if you handle them alot from chicks to adulthood. I think it's easy to take eggs for granted since they're so readily available the store, but the last egg shortage made me realize how valuable having ones own chickens is. My chickens free range and are very curious. When I'm around, they like to follow me around like I'm the pied piper, it's kinda hilarious.

That’s awesome you have some chickens too! The Bard Rocks are my favorite ones! Brent’s mom has such a love for chickens she really takes good care of them. We used to have chickens and turkeys at our farm…the turkeys were really curious too-even more so than the chickens. They were my favorite! We had a little reflector (like the ones on the road) and it was like a magic turkey baton (they like shiny things a lot) and they would follow whoever carried it lol. They also would always respond when you would gobble at them. They were such fun too! But yes-our family eats about 8 eggs a day! So that’s big savings especially now with the costs of everything going way up-especially with eggs because of the bird flu. It’s always awesome hearing from you!

@@IslandsnHighlands I never knew that about Turkeys! They sound like they would be fun to have also. We have wild Turkeys that roam around here in flocks and are super interesting to watch!

Wild turkeys are funny too-we used to have a wrap around porch and we caught them roosting on our porch at night:-) Turkeys were my favorite, the problem was though we grew them for meat birds and we loved them too much we ended up keeping them as pets
