Food!
Fertilizer!
Fun!
The average laying hen will produce one egg every day to two days. Usually, once a day in the spring, summer and fall, slowing down in the cooler winter months. Interestingly, lack of warmth does not make near the impact on egg-production as lack of light. Chickens raised in your backyard fed hormone-free and have free-range of movement. Their eggs are therefore higher in Omega-3s and many other vitamins and minerals. You may eat the egg as soon as they are hatched and do not even need to refrigerate them! Too many eggs for you to use? going on vacation? Give the delicious eggs to your grateful neighbors!
Your egg-laying hens will also poop- everywhere! This is good! Keeping your moveable coop on your grass will allow you to reap the most benefits offertilization. Provided there is enough moisture, the deposits made at the bottom of the coop will simply dissolve into your grass. You will have thicker, greener, more drought-resistant grass in 2-3 weeks! No chemicals needed! Move your Chickoopy coop every 2-3 days during the growing season for optimal and even growth. The deposits that are collected from the removable laying tray are best collected and dispersed among your backyard garden, bushes and trees. There is no need for composting as long as organic product and your backyard grass are used as feed. Awesome!
Who would believe that backyard chickens could actually be considered "family pets?!" Believe it! Our egg-laying hens are so fun to observe. They demonstrate a "pecking order" before your very eyes and, just as the sun begins to set, file in line and begin the march up the ladder to tuck into each other for the night! Need to weed? Let your chickens out of your coop and they will play "follow the leader" with you all around your garden and planting beds. The chickens will forage and dig at your side and very much appreciate any dirt that you turn over for them- well, they think you turn it for them! Some hens are a little flighty, some are quite shy, and others are downright adorable, trying to "make friends with you" and letting you and your children hold and/or pet them. Speaking of children, what a wonderful opportunity to educate them about where their food comes from. They will be able to collect fresh, healthy eggs, right from your own backyard- every day!

Meet the chickens!
The egg-laying hens that come with your Chickoopy operation are selected for their cold-heartiness, general sturdiness and frequent egg-laying. Buff Orpingtons: Excellent egg-layers, the Buffs are large in size with a soft, fluffy appearance. These birds are unable to fly, being very heavy, making them perfect for backyard chicken farming. Their sturdy build is best for cold-heartiness. Buff Orpingtons lay about 200 medium to large light-brown eggs a year, and do not stop producing in the winter. Barred or Plymouth Rocks: Excellent egg-layers, Barred Rocks are large birds with long life-spans. They have large chests and yellow skin and legs. These birds are very docile and can be very tame, making them perfect for backyard chicken farming. Their sturdy build is best for cold-heartiness. Barred Rocks lay about 200 medium to large light-brown eggs ayear, with a hint of pink, and do not stop producing in the winter. Australorp: Excellent egg-layers, Australorps are a large, soft-feathered bird with glossy black feathers and a lustrous green sheen. These birds are very docile, making them perfect for backyard chicken farming. Their sturdy build is best for cold-heartiness. Australorps lay about 250 medium to large light-brown eggs a year, and do not stop producing in the winter. Ameraucana: Excellent egg-layers, Australorps are a medium-sized, soft-feathered bird with slate or black legs and full tails. These birds are slightly more jumpy, but just as tamable as the other birds, making them perfect for backyard chicken farming. These birds are considered "Easter Egg" birds, as they have the ability to produce blue or green eggs. Their sturdy build is best for cold-heartiness. Ameraucanas lay about 200 medium to large light blue or green eggs a year, and do not stop producing in the winter. * Other breeds of chickens are sometimes highly available and are sometimes very scarce. Please contact Chickoopy for availability and discussion on the subject.

F.A.Q.
1. What type of Chicken lays Green Eggs? The Ameraucana and the Araucana breeds are the chickens that lay the colored eggs. Their eggs can be green, blue, even sometimes pink! We do offer this breed of chickens with our Chickoopy Operation, however specific colors and variations are not guaranteed. 2. I am told that sometimes you can have mice infestations around coops. Is this the same with the Chickoopy Coop?Mice are attracted to chicken feed, not chickens. In stationary coops, if not cleaned very, very thoroughly, feed can build up, hence giving the mice a supply of food. That is why moveable coops are such an excellent idea for backyard chickens in suburban and urban neighborhoods. The feed does not have a chance to build up.3. Do chickens do well around children? Can chickens bite? Can children hold the chickens?Chickens do really well around children. Chickens all have different personalities! Some are very gentle and almost loving. Others are "uppity" and a little more nervous. As long as a child is not afraid of the chicken, the chicken will let them pet them, pick them up and even sit with them a while.A public health concern that the Salt Lake City Health Department shared with us is that of the potential for the spread of salmonella, which is found in the feces and, in a small degree, on their feet or feathers (because of contact with feces.) This is EASILY prevented by making sure that children wash their hands with soap and water before they have a chance to put them in their mouth.4. So, how does this work with a Chickoopy? Does it really "green up" the grass naturally? It is not necessary to use any amount of pesticides or fertilizer to get your grass as green and healthy and beautiful as ever! Chicken poop is the answer! The chickens, inside of the Chickoopy coop on wheels, will naturally mulch your grass, eat excess bugs, and poop on it. Firsthand experience allows us to fully proclaim that our grass is greener, more healthy and more drought resistant (interestingly enough) when it has been fed with chicken poop.We also use the chicken poop to green up the garden. We have been warned of using chicken poop that is too fresh. Nevertheless, all summer (2010) we have spread fresh chicken poop on our garden, shrubs and trees. We have not had a problem with burning yet (using enough water right afterward.)Interesting information from WIKIPEDIA (check out the entire article):Livestock antibiotics and hormones:In 2007, a University of Minnesota study[4] indicated that foods such as corn, lettuce and potatoes have been found to accumulate antibiotics from soils spread with animal manure that contains these drugs.Organic foods are much less likely to contain antibiotics as veterinary drugs are not routinely used in organic farming systems. Most organic arable farmers either have their own supply of manure (which would therefore not normally contain drug residues) or else rely on green manure crops for the extra fertility (if any nonorganic manure is used by organic farmers, then it usually has to be rotted or composted to degrade any residues of drugs and eliminate any pathogenic bacteria - Standard 4.7.38, Soil Association organic farming standards).5. I am interested to know if the coops provide enough cover from cold. Would extra insulation need to be put around the coop in winter?Some chicken owners do put insulation inside of the hen boxes. However, it is not required. And not even recommended by some. The chickens will stay warm in the winter as long as they are given proper protection from the elements. The roof, even one of our un-shingled, flat roofs, along with the chicken wire (which helps with wind blowing sideways) combine to give enough shelter. The chicken will huddle together for heat, or find their way up to the hen house. All winter long, our personal chickens are scratching and motating as they always have, even after huge snow storms.

Article 1
Salt Lake County Council is redrafting
ordinance allowing residents to keep chickens
SALT LAKE CITY The Salt Lake County Council is redrafting an ordinance that would allow chickens and other fowl in unincorporated areas of the county.The original ordinance, proposed Tuesday, was sent for a redraft after council members debated several specifics, including the prospects for renters and duplex residents, distance from neighbors' property lines, number of chickens and slaughter policies. Council Chairman Joe Hatch even suggested eliminating the permit process.From the archive * West Valley City proposes chicken ordinance July 13, 2010 * Clinton to vote on chicken rules April 13, 2010 * Salt Lake County Council allows chickens in residential areas March 30, 2010 * W.V. changes cage fighting ordinance May 21, 2009 * West Valley City regulates cage fighting May 19, 2009Currently, only residents living on agricultural zoned land are allowed to have chickens, but council members said Tuesday the new ordinance would expand that to anyone who can abide by the ordinance's sanitation and building rules.Some of the people who spoke during a public hearing on the ordinance Tuesday expressed concern about the council's idea of requiring quarter-inch chicken wire instead of the standard half-inch."In all the research I have done, you don't find any coops that you can buy that are a quarter inch," said chicken owner Marinda Coleman.Coleman estimated that the quarter-inch wire is 20 percent more expensive and said she's not seen it used in classes on chicken keeping.The new ordinance is expected to be presented and voted on in the council's March 23 meeting.e-mail: ashaha_desnews.com

City Weekly "Best of. . ." 2011
"So, youre into organic and cruelty-free foods. Why not feed yourself organically and get a few fine-feathered friends in the process? By gearing up with Chickoopy, you can get your hands on its unique mobile chicken coop. The coop rolls on wheels, so you can move your chickens over different patches of your yard at a time. Since the floor of the coop is mesh and sets down over the lawn after its been moved, you dont need to worry about messy cleanup, and the eggs remain in the mobile coop. With Chickoopys gear and helpful Website that keeps you up to date on supplies, tips and local urban chick-coop ordinances in Utah, any city slicker can become an urban farmer with ease."

Feel the love . . .
"Hazel (Black Star) and Elvira (Australorp) layed eggs this morning! Penny thinks she's too good for that so just sits around preening. And I have a feeling that EVERYONE knows I have chickens since Hazel tends to scream when one of the others uses "her" nesting box. We may have to make a few adjustments to the coop. I am so loving this. You guys are the best!!"-Katie (Facebook)"So, it has been a week and we are in love. We have moved the coop a couple of times already. They are doing a great job of de-thatching the dead winter grass. They started dust bathing in our raised beds today. It was so funny. We love all three chickens. All of their distinct personalities have become very apparent over the past week. For anyone thinking they might want to get chickens, this IS a GREAT way to get started!"-Adrienne (Facebook)"Thanks for the timely work and the personalized service to locate the chickens we wanted. It was a pleasure doing business with you, we'll make sure to recommend you!"-Jeremiah (Facebook)
