I took this film Sunday morning as I was visualizing chickens in our back yard. I'd love to have some egg laying hens, but our HOA has covanents that say no.....however, I'm confident I could finegal my way to keeping them without incident. First, the lady down the road kept one of the escaped chickens from the farm behind us for months before the neighbor's dog hunted it down and killed it. Second...there's this film I took Sunday. I could SO have chickens.
Go for it, Ribbit! If I woke up one day and heard "camoflauge roosters" I would be out hammering a coop the same day, lol, you go girl! Everything looks nice and nice to hear your voice!
We wouldn't do the chickens until our dog had made an exit, and our yard has a six foot privacy fence so the other dog couldn't get in. I've got a few years yet, but I'm laying the groundwork for the project now!
If it weren't for my wife's fear of snakes, i'd get some chickens, too. It's nice to hear the roosters early in the morning. Your garden is looking great!
I'm a wife, teacher and mom of two who came by gardening accidentally in order to appease a fussy child in a big-box hardware store. He saw yellow pear tomatoes (his favorite color) and we became container gardeners.
As it goes with anything involving children, my interest far outlasted his and now we have a square foot garden in our corner yard.
As long as we can battle the bugs and keep the dog from the soil, we might have some fun.
Harvest:
2009 TOTAL ---- 136 lbs
2010 TOTAL ---- I stink. I gave up weighing.

ReplyDeleteI'm with Granny. Get the chickens. Nothing like fresh eggs. Just keep them it away from that dog!

ReplyDeleteHens can be loud, but it seems as though it would work. Who's going to rat you out, anyhow?
