Chicken Coop Painted
May 28th, 2009 by Matt
I bet the painter of our house couldn’t have predicted how we’d make use of the spare cans he left for us. It turned out we had just the perfect amount of red remaining to coat the siding of the coop - almost to the drop. A few hours and a couple of IPAs under the sun of a beautiful Saturday is all it took. Not a bad way to spend an afternoon.
We’ve landed on names - at least working titles - for all the hens. The light brama shown below is “Pepper” aka “Pepa” (ala Salt n Pepa).
I hope to post a garden update this weekend. We are drowning in Fava Beans!







How many eggs a week do you usually get from each hen?
Roughly speaking in a week Pancho, Lefty and Pepper lay about 2 or 3 eggs a week. Buffy is lucky she is good looking.
