My Pink Coop

Chocolate mint will grow, but spearmint grows the best. I never tasted apple mint. It sounds good!

We had temps in the low 30's a couple of mornings ago, so I'm still not replanting my mint, or putting out my plants.

Judy, I was just thinking maybe my boys are eating my chocolate mints and that's why it's slowly getting smaller. Would you happen to have recipes for mint?

Jessica, your chickens probably won't start laying eggs until the end of the summer. That's what ours did last summer. It takes a while for them to get mature enough. I don't know how old they have to be.

We got some more chickens the other day......50 of them!! Glen has promised that he'll keep them in the chicken coop this year......after they destroyed my yard last year. We have one chicken and one duck left out of all of those we had last year!!! It's funny because they pal around together!!

Fifty chickens Diana Wowser

There is no way I can fit 50 in my tiny backyard. I'm hoping that in five yrs I can relocate out of the city with more space and away from neighbors. I did read somewhere that they can start laying eggs as soon as 7 months and as late as 1 1/2 yrs. I read on the breeds I got and supposedly there good layers. I guess will see.

Gotta keep my Lil' Man away from my chickens

The land that we live on is 59 acres so we have room for a lot, Jessica!! We were only suppose to have 50 chickens last year and Dae Lynn was suppose to have 50 as well but that was when Damon ended up in jail so we had all 100. Hopefully we've learned a thing or two since then!! Mostly to leave them in the pen instead of letting them out!! They destroyed my yard.......and that was when we only had 6 or so!! If Glen lets them out......I'm gonna' start shooting!!......and I'm NOT kidding!!!! LOL

I have to watch Jazzi and Reuger around our ONE loose chicken and duck. If I pay any attention to the birds then the dogs chase after them. I think that it's a jealousy thing!!

BTW.....we named the chicken, Henny Penny, but we haven't named the duck!! The hen is dark red like your second picture. She lays brown eggs.

I love the name Henny Penny, that is so cute.

My boys name their chickens. One is Chicken Wings, the other is Hot Wings and my oldest didn't want to play along with them so he named his Elizabeth like my sis

I want a house with atleast one acres of land. One day
