If you’ve been around Remodelaholic a long time, and I mean a loooong time, way back to the beginnings in 2009 (which I’m pretty sure almost none of you were, except for maybe my mom, hi mom!) — anyway, the point is, that way back in 2009, a friend gave us 5 little chicks, and […]
A Recycled Backyard Chicken Coop
Being Watched…
Do you ever get that feeling, like you are being watched? Strange enough, we feel that way all the time!
Friends of a Feather
Buddy would sure like to be better friends with our feathery flock. He’d like them, to consider him, their friend. In fact, I am sure he would love to have them over for dinner! Unfortunately for him, and fortunately for our chickens, there is an ever present barrier. That actually doesn’t stop them from hanging […]
“The Others” strike again!
That is right, our “Lost Ladies” are slowly being taken by “the others”. Mostly because they keep morphing into ROOSTERS! Okay, so maybe they were roosters from the beginning, but their manliness was subdued by the other Rooster…. or something like that. This lovely lady, Juliette, is now Sawyer, James if you will. James […]
Cock-a-Too-de-loo
We had a quiet farewell on Saturday night. Goodbye to Beauty and Penny! We found a home for our 2 roosters, and so we sent them off in a cardboard box to some greener grasses, 2 acres to be exact. Hopefully it will feel like home in no time! Penny Beauty (We may still have […]
Guess what…
Chicken Butt! No, I haven’t had my baby. I didn’t mean to get anyone’s hope up. I just happen to say that randomly throughout the day now that we own chickens. There is the “chicken poo” one too- but I will spare you! No more rhymes I mean it! How fun! But seriously, the […]
Fly the Coop
This blog has been a long time in coming. I have just been putting it off. We’ve actually been done with the coop itself for about 3 or 4 weeks, oops. I don’t want to forget to record some things, so here are some pics of building the coop, the chicks as they’ve been growing […]
Two little miracles…
No, I didn’t just find out I’m having twins. Still just the one(that is hiccuping at this very moment)! But we did pick up two more feathery children. These ladies are quite a bit older than our babies. We thought we might have to wait a day after their “traumatic” removal from their other home… […]
Raise the roof
For Monday night’s family home evening we had a rather special event. Can you guess from these pic’s of my favorite childhood movie? We had our first “barn raising”. We thought it would be fun to make an event out of building the coop. And also much more fun to borrow some children for the […]
Chick’n Nuggets
Well, I would like to formally introduce you to our 5 new family members! They are just about a week old. They were given to us by our friend Shannon (actually she has their whole little chick lives documented on her blog, it is really fun to see the little eggs chirping!!) They are not […]
