I saved a Stellars jay fledgling the other day from an unlikely duo: the neighbor’s cat, and some crows. This disembodied foot doesn’t look quite right to belong to that fledgling, but I know those hooligans are out there. Also, I looked around and couldn’t find any other evidence of the hunt...

Yup! Caroline and Moa both have big bodies, short beaks with attractive rounded heads, and feathered legs. Okay all, I found something ominous today on the lid out our kid’s sandbox. I just about freaked out and ran to check on my chicks before remembering that 1) my run was much too secure...

Absolutely! Do you know that I was on the “I will never add a white chicken to my flock” train, for just about ever? Just like all those folks who swear off of silkies, only to become doting silkie owners. I was even disappointed when Whiskey, of last year’s chicks, turned out mostly cream...

Well, here you have them, my new permanent residents, the Grayscales. Somebody came by yesterday to pick up the slow-feathering Marans who was just under nine weeks old, and was kind enough to also take Mina the cockerel as well. In order of their current pecking order, I present to you...

Lmao 😜

I appreciate your words of caution for the meds. Cool donkeys! Do they get sold if the herd gets too big? Do the 100 acres support that many animals grazing? Good luck Piou-Piou :hugs

Well there you go! Rooster replacements at the ready! Pick one of them to go with the flock of girls who will be rooster-less once you get rid of Pastel.

All sun dappled with bright green grass- could your yard look any more pleasant!! Lucky flock ☺️ I’m glad the intros went well! And also fascinating to hear about the rooster/chick dynamics, since I don’t have a roo.

He said it was a different person. Dottie! Queen of the flock. She’s kind to everyone, but mostly just because she doesn't think about anything other than feeding herself.

You’re assuming it’s the guy with the rooster, but Alex said it was a different person.

...a 150F degree liquid only 2 seconds to give a 3rd degree burn, so presumably at 190F it would be instant. And it poured onto her crotch! Can you *imagine*?! It’s ridiculous they didn’t just apologize and pay the measly $20,000 in hospital bills she was asking for from the get go. It took some...

You “should have just shot him”? That’s a wildly violent thing to say… I mean I know you’re out of strawberry syrup but man, get a hold of your inner gun thoughts.

Hello all! I’ve been out of town for a week and haven’t had a chance to read back yet. In the meantime, here are some preemptive Thirsty Thursday hens for the early risers: And some dubious chicks, finding that their “free time” in the adult’s run isn’t to their liking. They had been moved...

Oh no, I hope you don’t have anything too bad! Tell us more about Stanley and Roxanne :)

I’m waiting on saddle feathers- but yes! And a looker too 😉

How very BYBob of you, making sure your chickens get to savor various pastas.

Yea it’s so interesting. She has never laid an egg with a shell- not even a thin shelled ones. It’s like her body is ejecting perfectly good insides right past the shell gland. Wildly enough, I’m concerned she in consuming too much calcium! She’s been on layer feed for so long, but doesn’t have...

This is actually a pretty informative page. Thanks for sharing! I just learned a thing or two about how to care for my peach tree. It’s a 4 way mix and suffers from Peach Leaf curl. Good question. I have the same- about Whiskey. She’s been laying since January, but her eggs are pretty small. At...

Wahoo!! Congrats Poppet, you had us pulling our hair out but it came out perfect!

Woah! Has there been a disease outbreak?
