What a strange title for a post on the Matrix Compound. But the woman at the Elbert convenience store gave it to us. Funny how things stick.
We have taken the plunge at the Matrix Compound to get our own chickens again. In Gallup we had chickens, guinneas, ducks, geese and muskovee ducks. But since we have been back in CO we have not ventured into the feathered world.
I more or less took it upon my self to research some cool custom coops that are offered on Craigs List and moved forward with the move to our own eggs once again.
Since our friend, Barry, moved to New Mexico, we have not had the benefit of home grown eggs. So we hope by late summer our newly chosen flock is providing that.
We have 20 chicks (hopefully all pullets) of three varieties. We have 12 Aracaunas, 2 Gold Star and 6 Patridge Rocks. They are resting comfortably in a water tank with heat, feed and water tonight in our outdoor kitchen. We hope to get the coop in the next week or so and move them into it right away.
We have other pictures but this one seems to capture their current environment.
