I LOVE this video. I've been planning on getting some chickens myself!! Barred Rocks, like yours!. You're right, barred rocks are affectionate chickens. Aren't they beautiful? You've given me some good ideas.

Hi, I am thinking about getting some chickens. What kind does Paula have? Thanks

Hello Paula, I love your chicken coop. I live in the country and have problems with wild life sometimes killing my chickens. Would you post your building plan for your coop? It looks like it could be safer for the chickens than what I have. I love your shows, love you. Pat

I absolutely love your chicken coop. My mom is wanting to put in a chicken coop. I just saw yours on TV!!! How can I get the plans? Please tell me! Sincerely, Leshia Wisener

Paula, You and I have so much in common. I love to cook~~it brings me such great pleasure to serve up a meal to my family. I love it when they enjoy eating what I've 'labored' to prepare for them. (I just wish I had a clean up crew) I too love my animals~~I have a beautiful seal tip Siamese cat (whom we adopted from the shelter), a beautiful Cockatiel, Sunni. She was given to me by a friend who obtained her as a rescue. We also have a hamster in the house, Smudge, he is my daugthers'. I would have more cats, dogs, ducks and chickens if I just had the space for them. My dream is to have a Parrot~~scarlet or blue and gold...it really doesn't matter. I just love them~~they are so beautiful and have such personality. I just prepared a chicken casserole for my family and have some home made caramel corn a cookin'. If I do say so myself~~I have one lucky family. Well, I just wanted to drop a line. God Bless~~from MY kitchen to yours~~Love, Pam

I heard you on the Joy Behar show talk about your girls, I sit with my girls and sing to them also. Glad I am not alone. I had to go as far as giving a breathing treatment to one of my aracuannas, We think she has Asthma, and of course the vet was out of town. My question for you is my Speckled Sussex lay small brown eggs and I can not find out how to hard boil small eggs. My May babies started to lay last week and needless to say I have eggs coming out of my ears.

Paula, I love your chickens and chicken coop. I find chickens very relaxing as well. Although I do not have my own coop due to where I live, I collect chicken items, hand towels, glassware ect. I appriciate the fact that you are so kind to people and animals. You really are a woman after my own heart. Best of days to you and yours. Julie

Hey Paula...I loved the chicken video...I can so appreciate. My husband built a chicken coop about two years ago...and we have fresh eggs every day and you are so right they are wonderful. I cook with them and we eat them for breakfast all the time. G (Gary) my husband loves them and talks to them and pets them...however I will not set foot in the coop...I'm hysterically afraid of birds....ain't that a hoot! Lord have mercy they scare the liver out of me. The funny thing is my little three year old grandson, Gavin loves to go in with his Paw Paw and chase them around. The girls love it (chicks) and love him too! Thank for sharing...love you like a sister. Lori

I loved seeing your chickens. Where did you find that great chicken coop? Did your hubby build it for you?

By Charlotte on October 07, 2011

Hi,That was very nice and they are lucky chickens to have you to care for them. I bought my mom chickens for her birthday one year she had decided to move to a small farm house. Everyone thought she was going to kill me but she just loved them. The first chicken house I ever saw that was cleaner than most homes and had curtains she was born in KY. maybe that is why.

Hi Paula, Your chickens must live very well, there chicken coop looks very comfy and cozy. I know the get the best care. K DiLallo

Ms. Paula, Love that chicken coop! My Granddaddy had a chicken farm and his chickens had nothing like yours...but then his hens were "working girls". I have a handsome rooster named Ben that stops by to visit and I'll be sure he never sees this video or he'll be wanting his own "bachlor pad". He makes me laugh when he runs up the driveway to meet me. Quite the character. Arlene

Paula, Paula, Paula.......I just opened your newsletter and started to read the news when I spotted your Paula's Chickens video. You are a regular hoot, girl! It's absolutely marvelous what you've done for those chickens and I know you're enjoying those fresh eggs. My so-so morning brightened right up watching your video. Thank you so much! It was a real treat! You're always smiling and you make people smile right with you. God Bless! Bridget, a true fan out here in Oregon xxx

Good Morning Paula, I love the video about your chickens. My husband's home is Savannah, Ga. and your chickens reminds me of my husband's auntie. She just turned 101 yrs. old and lives in Montgomery, they call it "Wingster Hill" her name is Ethel Wingster Martin. When I got married my husband brought me to Savannah and I loved it. Aunt Ethel had all kinds of chickens and turkeys. They layed eggs which were rich as you said of your chickens. Our son was 4 yrs. old when I first went there. Aunt Ethel took him with her early one morning to collect the eggs, he saw where she got them from. When she got back into the house to cook breakfast she asked him if he wanted eggs, he told her, "No Aunt Ethel I eat my eggs from Bogart." It was a store in Miami. We laughed about that for years. Anyway I wanted to share that with you. Aunt Ethel is a Blessing to us and so are you and your family a Blessing to me and my family because you keep me cooking those delicious recipes. I love you Paula, Stay Blessed, Grits

Paula,It's great that you took those chickens in I never has a fresh egg. I get mine from the store. That is just fine... I watch your cooking show most of the time.. I had a chance to see you 2009,at Giant Eagle Food Show. I had to stay at the store and take care of business.. Giant Eagle Market District..Shadyside Belva Kohlman Deli Team Leader

I have chickens, too, 35 of them, and I love 'em too. I love having fresh eggs, and such beautiful yolks. My husband went in for knee replacement surgery this summer, and when I got home from the hospital that afternoon, I found that one of our hens had set and hatched a batch of eggs under the old Mercedes and there were 9 little chicks following her around. We have tried to get the chickens to hatch chicks before, but here it happened without any help from me!! We have a rooster who starts crowing at 4am to get the sun to wake up. I was talking to my 4 yr. old grand daughter out in the backyard, and she kept saying, "Shut up, Rooster." She didn't take her eyes off me, so I thought she was talking to me, and I told her that was rude to say that to Grandma. I realized she was saying that to the rooster cause he was interrupting my story!! Thought you might enjoy a "chicken story".
