Yup! Our chickens are growing up! And they are producing eggs quite efficiently. For the record, they DO have names. See if you can pick them out: Salt and Pepper are the two black and white ones; Heckyl and Jeckyl are the Black shimmery ones; Peter and Pan are the two reds; Blondie is...blonde!; and Nimrod is the odd one...
We really enjoy having the chickens...if you couldn't tell! Dad feeds them by hand occasionally and sometimes they peck a little hard. But mostly they just like to see what's up when we come in the chicken run!
The chicken coop (far right) as 6 nesting boxes. Dad's lifting the lid to the lower three. The one above it houses the upper three nesting boxes. There's a little ladder they walk up to get inside the coop when they are ready to lay. Other than that, they spend their time in the chicken run where there is plenty of room! They are HAPPY chickens, and they live in Santa Clara, UTAH...not California!!

Hey isn't that a break of the zoning code? Your not in the valley... I don't care. I'm no longer the City Manager's wife there!!! ;0)
I love thst you named them! I bet having fresh eggs is awesome!
NOPE!!! No breaking of zoning codes here! I checked with the city office before we constructed anything, like a good little girl; they changed the zoning, probably because so many people were having chickens in the yards anyway! We believe in being legal, when at all possible!! ^_^
