Well, now I’ve done it. Finally I convinced my husband that we needed some chickens. I’ve always loved watching chickens scratch in the dirt. They make me think of growing up on the farm. I took so much for granted back then.
So, now we have eight little pullets. Or seven pullets and a rooster…it’s a little early to be sure about one of them. They seem very content with their little yard and water-girl. And, it looks like we got them just in time for the cicada invasion. The 17 year cicada are beginning to arrive. At least, I think it’s the 17 year ones. Could be one of the other batches…I can never remember. At any rate, we’ll have more of them soon. The chickens love fighting over the more vocal ones!
Now we look forward to fresh eggs…as do our neighbors. In the meantime though, we’re enjoying watching “our girls” chase bugs.
Where did you put the chickens coop? I have been looking into garden feng shui to work out where I should place a chicken coop but cant find anything!!!
The coop is in the 7 mountain 4 time 1 water area of our house.
For the coop chart though, I’ve faced it for an 8 water star to enter at the door and they lay in the 7 mountain. So, they’re talkative and very productive!
You’ve hit on it! Optimum Feng Shui is not so simple as folks would have you believe. But, if we do not take into account the Feng Shui of your house, or the surrounding landscape, you can expect the hens to do well with a south facing house. Just make sure their coop has the door in the center front.
