Duke (Mille fleur d'Uccle) has been making a habit of bunking downwardly inwards the nest boxes, in addition to thence he gets a personal escort onto the roost nightly- including on Christmas Eve!
I had iii trees inwards the chicken yard this year, each alongside their ain theme.
This 1 is my Rusty Rustic Tree. I used a lantern for the tree topper in addition to made piffling wreath ornaments out of the plentiful furnish of rusty barbed wire establish inwards the woods behind our house.
I bought myself a pre-Christmas food dehydrator in addition to had fun dehydrating oranges in addition to apples for decorating this Christmas season!
Sheep sheers, dehydrated oranges in addition to burlap garland completed this tree.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 chicken-keeping friend of mine had to sell her farm late in addition to offered me whatever chicken equipment I wanted to take. The vintage chicken feeder filled alongside boxwood, white pino in addition to dehydrated oranges in addition to topped alongside 1 of the many grapevine wreaths I made, serves every bit the centerpiece of the large chicken run. I this this was likely my favorite projection this year.
Finally, the molting girls got dorsum to laying this month!
These grapevine in addition to barbed wire boxwood wreaths were hung on the vintage ladder inwards front end of the run.
The tree inwards front end of the minor reddish coop was decorated alongside a copper barn star, cattails in addition to snippets of the ornamental grasses that grow side past times side to my coops. I used red deco mesh for the garland in addition to a vintage sled nether the tree.
This tree was the favorite for the chickens to congregate around.
The pencil tree was decorated alongside dried hydrangeas inwards a multifariousness of colors in addition to a jute garland.
Nothing says Christmas quite similar a chicken run wrapped inwards structure plastic!
My Polish babies got their rootage champaign trip out of the coop inwards balmy, 60°F weather!
This chicken feeder was 1 of the pieces of equipment I inherited from my friend. I painted it alongside a hammered copper destination in addition to filled alongside greens, ornamental grasses in addition to cattails. Apparently the H2O ice melting from the grasses was delicious.
Daisy's (Mille fleur d'Uccle) favorite location to perch this wintertime has been the yule log inwards the wagon.
I mean value she makes the perfect accessory for it!
