Chicken Madness

I saw this three foot chicken nestled in the landscape at Bellwether Gardens on the Leelanau Peninsula. I'm glad chickens aren't actually that large.


This coop is the grandest I have ever seen. Large enough for me to call home! I didn't get a good shot of the front unfortunately. It looks like a small cottage and is so adorable.


Do come in ladies.


I can't wait to have my own coop and chickens. Nothing like farm fresh eggs and the friendship of hens.

That coop is a pretty one for sure. One day you'll have a coop of your own.

That is a big chicken! It would be a fun yard decoration.

We are loving having chickens and having our own natural eggs. I never get bored watching them, they are so entertaining. I hope a flock of hens find you soon! :-)

I want a chicken coop of my own, too! Our town just legalized having them within city limits...now all I need is my own house!

I was just visiting Zach's blog (The Green Gardener) and he too was saying how much he wanted chickens. Too funny. I've been thru the phase but when I think of the work I talk myself out of chicks everytime.

You're right, farm fresh eggs put the supermarket ones to shame. And I love the bright orange yolks you get with free range eggs.

I hope you get your chickens soon!

I've discovered, hens are not always friendly.

And don't get me started on roosters.

But for farm fresh eggs, anything is worth it.

I love the big chicken! Wouldn't it be cute in a kitchen??

I know you will have your very own coop and chickens before you know it!!

Have a great day.

Hey, that henhouse is really something to crow about! (heh, sorry) I love that folk art garden rooster.... Little touches like that really make a garden so inviting. :-D
