Chicken Hunt
Every other day is turning into a chicken hunt. I could lock them up… but I don’t… so… we look here… and there. Eden digs one out from under the loading chute… Lucas bumps a couple with his nose. They’re in deep snow and don’t want to walk! Three lead the way clear up by…
Bare Ground
My chickens are happy with the tiniest bit of bare ground that they can find. I see it as kind of a “lemon/lemonade” scenario. The eleven hens are giving me 8-10 eggs a day… so if it makes them happy to scratch around in the wee spot of earth they find outside my yard fence…
Little White Hen
I *babysat* the neighbor’s chickens for a few days… it gave me a good chance for close-ups! For you puzzle fans… click on the small image and see how fast you can complete the puzzle… Little White Hen
New Buckets
It tried and tried and the clouds went north and the clouds went south, and FINALLY this afternoon it actually RAINED. I had thrown all my bedding from the trampoline inside and found a more or less indoor job… made a meatloaf for supper… posted on Facebook because… RAIN! And… It stopped. .03″ of an…
Pullet Portrait Puzzle
It’s been a while… here’s a puzzle for you! Pullet Portrait **** It’s time for Questions… post them now!
New Home
It was time to move the chicks… they’ve outgrown their little pen in the wood shed! Since I also still have my older chickens, I moved the young ones out to the milking shed, and avoided any conflict between the two ages. I had help today… Aren’t the Barred Rocks BIG? The were very funny…
Check Out the Chicks
It’s hard to get chicks in focus. On the left is a 2 week old+ barred rock chick, on the right is one of my new brown leghorn chicks. What a difference a couple of weeks makes! They are twice the size of the babies. Thankfully, they didn’t pick on them… or peck on them….
Bless Your Heart
Perhaps I didn’t explain it well enough, too many posts on Facebook versus the entire story here, but as to my post of yesterday… In NO WAY do I blame the hatchery. Millions of chicks have been shipped through the mail, probably ever since there has been mail!! I sent them an email, and they…
Poor Babies
My chicks arrived this morning. At 6:50 am, my local post office called, and I hurried down to Ten Sleep. Opening the box, I saw 26 little bodies. I saw one barely breathing, so I pulled her out and dropped some sugar water down her beak. The chicks had been shipped on Tuesday and went…
Ready
I made a video, but it failed to upload, and although I told it to re-upload, it sure is taking its sweet time. I worked at prepping for my baby chicks… Which is a mishmash of how about this? maybe that? here? there? Wha??????? I moved my chicken tractor out, planning to put it by…
