[VIDEO] Introducing…Our Backyard Chickens!

If you’ve been on RYGblog more than once you’ve probably gathered that we are the proud owners of a small flock of backyard chickens …7 of them. And although we do love them because of the eggs they give us every day, we also love them because we consider them pets…part of our family.

Now…I’ve written posts about them and provided sketches of their coop…but I’ve never really formally introduced them to you…well besides telling you their names and what kind of chickens they are.

So…I enlisted the help of my friend Joe Braun (www.best30seconds.com)…who produced our RYG Video…to pull together a short video giving my chickadees the air-time credit that they deserve. Enjoy! (And thanks Joe!)

Now that you’ve officially met our Fancy Lady Friends and if you’re interested in expanding your family to include some of your own, check out some of our other posts to learn more from our experience.

Cheers friends (oh…and Happy Valentine’s Day!),
Doug initial

      Thanks Eric (and J!). It was a ton of fun to film. We really do love having chickens. Beyond being pets that give us tasty eggs, they add texture to our lives and add to the Scott Family Story. Glad it made you smile. Cheers friend, D.

      Ashley…thanks for your kind words my friend. However, no amount of sweet-talkin’ is going to get me to part ways with Henny and Polly! But I agree, they are gorgeous…definitely Britt’s favorites. Take care Ash, D.

    Douglas…it’s great that you took time to personally introduce the Scott family chickens. You make raising chickens hip and cool! You should raise ducks as well:)

      Steve: Thanks for your comment my friend. Well, raising chickens is hip & cool…so it’s not tough to make it seem that way! And yes…thought about raising ducks…but currently, I don’t have the amount of water I need to make their lives happy. So…what are you waiting for my hip & cool friend? Start a family flock of your own! Take care, D.

    Thanks for all your inspiration!! I’ve been following and sharing
    your blog quietly. Hoping to implement some day soon in our
    space. We have a coop that could use a redesign but the husband
    can’t see “chicken” yet! But the gardens YES… and trying to save
    our Fruit Trees!!
