First of all, please excuse the major delay of this post. I bought a condo in
Schenk-Atwood and I've been busy busy busy. I currently have two homes, which I suppose is much better than no home. In a few weeks, I'll be totally settled in the new place.
Now, for the chickens:
On June 23rd, my friend Elysha and I went to the
Tenney-Lapham Neighborhood Association's Tour Des Coops. After loving this event last year, I was excited to return for another go. Last year, I was impressed by an array of beautiful feathers. But this year, it was a deluxe coop that caught my eye:
 |
| Amy Alstad and Eric Udelhofen's "chicken mansion" is luxury bird living at its finest. |
I made sure to take notice of the coops this year, and there were some great ones (including lovely signage).
 |
| This tongue-in-cheek chicken coop is a true coop d'etat. |
 |
| Short and sweet. |
After holding a chicken and a turkey during last year's tour, I was hoping to once again snuggle with a feathered friend. Thankfully, Peter and Andrea Robinson (owners of
RP's Pasta) had a friendly chicken who was up for a photo op.
 |
Meet Blue! She was quite chatty when I held her and clucked for everyone on the tour.
She got sassy for this photo and wasn't afraid to do a little legbombing. |
But wait! There weren't just chickens this year. Elysha found a bunny:
 |
| No feathers, but still pretty cute. |
Here are a few of my favorite chicken photos from the tour:
 |
| "We're too fabulous for a coop, so we chill in the backyard. Don't you dare touch our beach ball." |
Elysha and I had a great time with the chickens, and some day she hopes to have a coop of her own.
