We have some interesting new neighbors in the Magoun Square section of Ward 5 that I was able to photograph over the weekend! Neighbors on the same street have three chickens in a coop and take turns cleaning and caring for them. Another neighbor has their own coop (also with three) that produces 18 eggs a week. I got to keep two of them from that day's gathering!

Clearly, this one loves to get her picture taken! | | | |

Here are two of three that are in the same coop together. |

I got to keep these! |
Are you interested in having your own coop? I found this
website that gives good advice and answers a lot of questions.

I love my new neighbors!! The Rhode Island Red pictured, more affectionately known as Rhoda, is the friendliest of them all. Sometimes I bring her to my yard, five houses down, to help me with the yard work. Chickens love eating little pests that live in the soil.
