TheSupernaturalstar, 39, who’s originally from San Antonio, revealed that they like to “honor” their dearly departed foul with some taxidermy decor in their home. “We are chicken owners, proudly, and we love our chickens” Jared explains in anarchdigest.comvideo tour of the property the couple share with their kids, Thomas Colton, 9, Austin Shepherd, 7½, and daughter Odette Elliott, 4.
In addition to a coop for their current flock, the family also has dogs, mini horses and a beehive, from which they harvest their own honey.

The family put down roots in the state capital in 2010, shortly before fully making the move from Los Angeles to Texas, where they say they enjoy the “slower pace.” It’s also recently lured stars likeJamie-Lynn Sigler,Christy Carlson Romano, and Haylie Duff; and the Padaleckis call Jared’s formerSupernaturalcostarJensen Acklesa neighbor. He and his wife Danneellive in Austin with their kids.
“I think if you get to Austin and you don’t decide to go the Austin speed limit, then you probably won’t last here,” Jared said. “There is something very specific about the town.”
Although the house is flush with open spaces and natural lighting, Jared appreciates having “little nooks and crannies” around the house. “We didn’t want it to feel cavernous,” he said. “A lot of homes in Texas focus on making it as big as possible, with two-and-a-half-story grand entrances. That’s fine if that’s your thing, but it is not our[s]. We would rather it feel like a little crab shell.”
The property comes with an abundance of outdoor space as well, including a backyard with several levels, a pool, a basketball court and a vegetable garden.
