These are my chickens! THey live in Alcatraz. For the winter they live on top of my garden! We named this coop Alcatraz because they cant get out!! They used to love to escape in there summer home!!!

Marcy, What a sweet sheep - I raised Southdowns for many years and I find they are so wonderful that you just can't stop kissing their teddy faces. I love spinning their fleece too - did you know that they where the original downey sheep? They are what stocking, undergarments and baby items where made outof.. I do miss having them so share often pictures so I can see that sweet face.
Congrat's you lucky duck.

They are adorable. How lucky you are to have a Southdown. Their faces are just too cute! That's my dream to have one of those!

Marcie, I just love your sheep! And I had to laugh at your Alcatraz reference to your coop. While finishing up building our new coop, we've jokingly termed the cages we now house the chickens in as 'Cell Blocks' in the Paradise Prison compound. We even have an 'Infirmary', where we place the chickens that are being pecked unmercifully by their other 'cell' mates! In fact, we had an escapee from Cell Block Four just yesterday, and Warden Hootie (our German Shepherd) had to chase her down and hold her until I could get there and put her back in prison!
from the hearts of paradise... |
