Broody hen egg poachers
My Silkies are trying. Very trying. First they all went broody one after the other, in March. A little early, Missy’s, but, if you must... Then, the egg-thieving began. It’s an ongoing problem.
New hens- arrival
We collected our pre-ordered 18-week old layers from the co-op today. They're cute. Really not much more than teenagers. Very slim, with tiny pink combs.
Chick Days
Another chick! A little spotted one, with markings on its back like a spider! Yesterday’s chick is white, now that it’s dried out and fluffy. They are so, unbelievably cute, and tiny! One little chick is weightless in my hand.
Chicken Journal
These chickens are adorable. Fluffy, cute, very sweet, gentle and quiet chickens, slow, in more ways than one. They border very closely on lazy.
Chicken arrival
All ready to release the birds into their new home! Excited, we carried the box of birds up from the car and put it on the floor inside the coop. Reached in to open the flaps, waiting for the heads to pop up, and... nothing.
Instagram.
I may not make a blog post every day, but at least I Insta.
Bite size.
