Little Hen House









As you can see, this chicken coop is adorable! We can move it to different spots on our property and because of the attached cage, the chickens can go outside, too.
Wie man hier sehen kann, ist das kleine Huehnerhaus wirklich goldig! Wir koennen es an verschiedene Stellen fahren und wegen dem separaten Gehege koennen die Huehner auch nach draussen.

That is really nice. It looks like a 5-Star hotel for hens.

Thank you for visiting my blog. I appreciate it a lot.

I will tell you something about chickens that I am sure you do not know. You can actually try it and prove it to yourself.

When I was a small boy during World War II, we raised chickens. And the chickens had a fenced-in area to look for bugs and things to eat, incuding gravel or chips of stone which they store in their gizzard to help them grind up the food they eat.

Sometimes my mother would throw into this pen, some green things, like pieces of lettuce and carrot tops and she would sometimes pull up long grass and throw that into the pen. The chickens would peck at it and ate some of it.

Now and then when we pulled little green onions from our vegetable garden, she would cut the tops off and we would eat the white part of the onion. Then she would toss the green parts of the onion into the pen and the chickens would eat them.

In a day or two, when mother fried eggs for breakfast, the eggs tasted exactly like green onions.

Eggs will also take on the taste of chicken feed and for that reason, those who produce eggs must feed a kind of bland meal or plain smelling and tasting food so as to not have a strong tasting egg.

...einfach eine tolle Idee, ein rollender Hühnerstall. Ich umzäune immer ein betimmtes Stück rasen, das die Hühner nicht betreten sollen und säe dort neu ein. Aber nach einigen Wochen sieht alles wieder wie vorher aus.
