My New Chickens

 



 

These are not my chickens. They are too cute to be mine. I found this picture on Pinterest.

 Don't you think they are cute?

 

I have 4 chickens. One rooster and 3 hens.

 

My dad spent about 3 days building their little coop. It is quite cute. They love it but they also like to run free.

 

 

Can you see how skinny he is? He is still very young and needs to put on some weight. His name is French Toast.

 

 

 

Here you can see all four of them in action. They may not be the prettiest chickens but they are full of character. We were first afraid to let them out of their coop because I have two naughty Jack Russels and two cats. The cats and dogs were very inquisitive at first but now they are one happy family. WE ARE FAMILY!!!

 

 

 

This is OD. He is the naughtiest one of all. He does not stop making a noise. He constantly wants you to throw a stick or ball for him. It drives me mad. He is Milo's dad.



 





 

In this picture, you can see little Milo. She is really a cutie. She just runs after OD all the time. They love the beach. More on them and the cats on a another post.



 

 

I have been learning about chickens in my homeschooling. It is very interesting to see how many different types of chickens there are. I also learned about the Egg. Did you know? that you don't need a rooster for a hen to lay an egg. You only need his help if you want chicks. The rooster will fertilize the egg to produce chicks. I found this really cool lapbook at Homeschool share blog. You can find it here. http://www.homeschoolshare.com/blog/2013/06/chicken-lapbook-pictures/

 

Thanks for reading my post.
