Our friends and family usually will either walk right into
the house or knock lightly then walk in. Rarely does our doorbell ring except
for the landlord or solicitors.
Last night there was ring of our doorbell. Our dog was
unimpressed as she was apparently napping until I got up to investigate. It was
one of our neighbors asking if we had some time to answer a few questions about
chickens because they just got some chicks. We immediately said yes. I know,
we’re geeks like that.
Ready to put our chicken knowledge to the test, they started
in with how much heat and light the newborn chicks they had just picked up from
one of the local feed stores as we watched them roam around inside a Rubbermaid
tote. After we told them what breeds they probably have, we moved on to the
backyard where they had to possibilities for building a chicken coop. Now,
their available space is actually less than ours, but they have a dog run on
the side of the house and an old playground with a built-in play house their
kids are all too old to use. Both of these areas would be perfect for keeping
chickens with just some minor adjustments. We’re going to have to have them
over to take a look at our coop to get an idea of what the chickens would need.
