Smoothie (Chicken) Shack




In addition to the Chicken Chateau, we now have the Smoothie Shack.

My husband reused two old smoothie signs from a remodeled restaurant to fashion a little chicken coop for Scrambles. Why did Scrambles need her own digs? New chickens alert!


We bought three new hens and the lady threw in a rooster for a dollar. Unfortunately for the rooster, he will become Chicken Tacos in the not too distant future. But he will have a fantastic life of luxury until then. Scrambles did not take too kindly to the teenage pullets- pecking them and chasing them around. We decided she could have her own space at night and free range during the day. The, as of yet unnamed, chickens are currently turning over a new garden bed under the chicken tractor.

  1. There are a lot of things to look and understand about chicken. I see one with a darker feet. Its genetic root can be traced back to Africa or India .. or even Malaysia.... haha...

    The wild chicken that colonize jungle fringes in Malaysia do have darker feet as their trademark....

    The new shack is very original and creative...

    Shall there be lots of chicken!!
