You may or may not know this about me, but I had a lot of responsibility from a very young age growing up. We always had A LOT of animals growing up. Not really a farm per se (my new favorite phrase to thrown in lately) because it's not like these animals or most of them were useful. We had so many cats and dogs I can't even remember them all. I remember we raised ginea pigs, rabbits, Mice (to feed the snake, mind you, ICK!), hamsters, cats, birds.
You guessed it, we had a chicken coup growing up when I lived in Etters, Pa. We lived in the house in Etters until I was 8 years old. So every morning either myself or my brother had to go outside into the chicken coup and collect the eggs laid. The chicken coup was partly a large crate covered in chicken wire and that was connected to another part that looked similar to a shed, however, on both sides when you entered the door, little hay beds were made for the chickens to lay their eggs.
I remember one chicken in particular that was my favorite. It looked similar to the one I imported, fluffy like that. However, It was mostly white with like blue highlights. I couldn't find a photo or maybe my memory is just not correct, but I swear that's how I remember it!
I know, little did you know I'm a crazy country girl at heart.
