On one of my earlier post, I stated our granddaughter was interested in raising chickens. Last May that was accomplished. Our Madalyn came painted her chicken coop and the chickens arrived... Then the learning and care began...
During the heat of summer, we sadly lost 3 of them. Rebecca restocked her with 3 fine species of pretty black and white speckled. Eggs began arriving and out of the 10 one hen, began to do a little cock a doodle do. It was weak at first but is much stronger now and has quite a beautiful red comb and dangle! Madalyn returned home when school started once again. We have continued to gather the 4 or 5 eggs a day. And enjoying our breakfast of fresh eggs.
Our grandson likes to check them out on his visits. Hudson truly does not care for the noise of the rooster. But he does add character to the little coop.
Anyone have tips on care and life of raising chickens during the winter months?
The days are getting shorter and cold is moving in...
