Mystery in the Chicken Coop Conclusion… or is it?
Gee. It sounds like NO ONE LIKES CLIFFHANGERS! I will tell you the conclusion to the mystery, but, first, this commercial interruption… Although I usually write my blogs at night to post the next morning, sometimes that plays havoc with dates… like when you get Wordless Wednesdays on Thursday… this post will come out on…
Saga of the Video of the Mystery in the Chicken Coop!
Did you ever play Clue? The game where you had to choose Miss Scarlett or Colonel Mustard in the Library or the Conservatory (as a kid I never knew what a conservatory was… but it’s a greenhouse attached to a building along one wall… just in case you never knew either! But I did like…
Mystery In The Coop
I do believe I have a dilemma. I’ve been having a mystery in the chicken coop. There’s been an unidentified perpetrator destroying eggs. The first suspects were the young roosters. Over time, the circle of life dismissed the roosters from the suspect list. That left the one young hen, as I didn’t think my tried…
Fermenting Chicken Feed
I’ve read about it for a while… and just started trying it with my chickens. Fermenting their chicken feed. Translate that to just soaking their chicken feed, and you’ll take the scariness out of it. They tell you that fermenting your feed will increase the protein, or rather, let them get the full protein out…
Winter’s Two
She started with nine. Two cracked. Two hatched. She bustled after those lucky two, and the rest had cooled down by the time I found them.
Clutch Record
I’d say my record stinks. Back a few months ago… this happened. Eleven chicks! It was totally a surprise as the hen did not set on them in the coop, but in some undisclosed location. Well, across the summer, eleven fell to six. Ah, the great life (and death) of free-range chickens that live with…
Not Babies Anymore
Look who is growing up! They seem to have doubled in size since I left on vacation. Perhaps that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but still… One is definitely a rooster. I only have seven of the original eleven left. Let’s hope these stay smart and alert!
Chickies
A few pics to make you grin… They’re sure growing!
A Bit
This summer is FULL of surprises! I went to let my chickens out yesterday morning. There was a hen sitting in the corner, which was WEIRD. I was trying to get the kittens out of the coop… the little buggers have taken to it since I’ve locked them out of my studio. (My studio was…
The Saga of Josephine
Pecking order. Have you ever wondered where that phrase came from? I suggest you watch some chickens, and it will quickly become apparent to you. There exists a hierarchy among chickens (and just about everything else that lives) and that order is enforced with their beaks. Enter poor little Josephine. She was the Bottom Rung,…
