For free Rooster pictures HErE
I love Chickens...This is no surprise...In France Chickens have always been treasured.
The Rooster is the French Emblem like the Eagle is to the United States.
CHICKENS are Highly addictive! When you start it is very hard to stop!
Last year i hatched Chicks twice!
It was fun to see them grow!
I even raised one in my veggie garden...
Chickens only eat weeds and the bottom leaves...Never touch the tomatoes...Great fertilizer and natural weeder...
Put the chickens in when plants are established....
We had so many tomatoes! CRAzY
Then we got our first eggs!!!! It was SOOOOO exiting!
(Blue eggs from an Easter egger Chicken).
The kids named her "Stripe" Barred rock breed...She is so beautiful!
Here the chickens in my house...
I am sure i will get the Chicken obsession some time soon.
I need a new coop since we moved... Next spring for sure!
Also, it teaches responsibility to the kids as they help with feeding/watering and collecting eggs...
Did you know? If i can find a Vet who will take a Rooster's voice box away...I can have a Rooster and have Baby Chicks....
Roosters are so beautiful and when you hatch, you get 50/50 boys and girls...
I would keep my favorite this way...

Hi Frenchy, I love chickens as well (my hubs adores them). We actually want to move to south to have the room to raise a few (just for us, to have fresh, organic eggs). I'm dreaming of a Provence-inspired farm....oh yes...rustic, timeliness, classic. Have a great weekend, darling.
ReplyDeletehow cool! i've been hearing about so many families getting chickens, hatching chicks, and producing their own eggs. i think it's very cool. plus, i didn't know that the chicken to france is like the eagle to america. thanks for that info! :)

I love chickens too! They're all so cute. I remember when martha stewart showed her hens, they all looked like they were wearing feather petticoats and bloomers, I laughed so hard. And,seriously, the egg colors you can get from arcana chickens!!

Hi - following you back from New Friend Friday... My 4 year old daughter and I sat down and looked at the pics of the eggs hatching - she was totally fascinated! Lovely blog, really enjoying having a look around :) xx
ReplyDeleteMy kitchen and dining room is Rooster themed in memory of my 10 year old son who passed away. He loved hatching and raising chickens - we had so much fun. The funniest (or oddest) moment I can remember was we were sitting at the breakfast table eating fried eggs when one of the chickens began to hatch out of the egg that was in the incubator. It was just an odd moment lol
ReplyDeletelove your blog! thank you so much for visiting and following mine! i am happy to follow you back!
ReplyDeletehave a great weekend.

Thanks for visiting my blog. I would love to get our own fresh organic eggs from chickens, but it wouldn't go over too well where I live. Plus I wouldn't have a clue what to do! LOL.

ReplyDeleteOh my, this makes me wish I had chickens of my own!
ReplyDeleteWe have had chickens and enjoyed them but have had some very mean roosters. They used to chase my siblings to the bus. The most current roosters are mean to our cat. olive
ReplyDeleteHi Frenchy! Oh, my, what pretty chickens and a lovely little model helping! Those eggs are so pretty too! Love taking a peep inside your lovely home too.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
shelia ;)
You have done so many pretty displays with your Roo's and chicks..
ReplyDeleteI know watching the chicks break their shell and peek out must be a great thrill.. they are soooooooooooooo cute;)
thanks for sharing your pretties and your chicks with us..

I love the idea of living a greener more organic life and nothing more appropriate than raising your own chickens! I don't think my Home Owners Association would approve a coop in my yard! But for know I will enjoy your details and photos! The color variations are spectacular!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
Rachel
What fun, Frenchy. Hatching chickens is pretty awesome. I think I'll stick with indoor collecting :).
ReplyDeleteWow, I can't believe you've hatched chickens. How cool is that. YOur "Stripe" is just gorgeous. What a great thing for children to do. Your indoor chickens are fabulous and you always create the most interesting and lovely vignettes. Thanks so much for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteThose baby chicks are so cute. How neat that you raise chickens! Love your rooster collection...Christine
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed that you hatched some chicks!! Yum, fresh eggs!
ReplyDeleteYou're right once you have one chicken or rooster object it's hard to stop!
Manuela
What a fun post! Loved seeing your Chicks! The your lovely daughter with the tomato! Love the rooster and sunflower arrangement! I just love Roosters! My kitchen is filled with them.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your blog. The real rooster is quite adorable. Blessings, Janet
ReplyDeleteOh Man!! I want chickens - I really do (especially if they lay those gorgeous bleu eggs) But Mr. Vintage says No!! The cats - the dog- the road - the racoons - guess he's right - but they do look great!
