    So sorry to hear about Cleo. What a sweet looking girl! Sounds like she lived a good long life and received lots of love and care from her family ❤️

    We don’t have anywhere local that sells berries here, so I also buy from Indiana Berry. They sell bareroot plants for about $12 each and I think shipping is $17. For elderberries, I buy cuttings. There are lots of small nurseries online who offer them. You can just stick your shovel in the...

    Looks like a great platform! Cinder blocks are also good :)

    At our current home we don’t yet have a rain collection system, but plan to next year. Depending on the square footage of your roof, you could probably fill much larger containers if you wanted to. I believe you get 0.6 gallons per square foot of roof area per inch of rain. We plan to get a...

    I’m so sorry fuzzi. Your struggle to help her has made me cry more than once. It’s sad that in many ways these things seem out of our hands. I’m sure Lydia will be very missed. :hugs

    Poor little darling. I’ll keep her in my prayers. I wish there was more I could do to help you, but I’ve never dealt with impacted crop before. I hope she’ll feel better in the morning.

    I do hope Lydia recovers soon! I’m glad her problem was something that you could treat at home, and I really hope the treatment was successful! ❤️

    It is a benefit that each bird has a unique speckled pattern. That has to be easier to distinguish between than barring! Aww, Martha and Rahab must be so happy to have you around! I love when my hens make me feel like a desired member of the flock. If my Août is out foraging and sees me coming...

    Oh I see! Well, I’m sure she’ll be a looker no matter her age. Martha sure is! :love

    It’s too bad you can’t use Esther, she’s so lovely with all that speckling!

    All of their combs look very similar to me, and I think based on how large the known boys’ combs are that these are all probably pullets. I hate how uncertain you feel during the first 6-8 weeks. My Dominique “pullet” is looking lighter in color than I expected, but at 2.5 weeks old I can’t...

    Lime looks female to me still, Aqua’s wattles are suspicious though. Cuties all around though!

    Is it the Dominiques that are always trying to get out or are the Sussex sneaky too? My Dominique is much more wily than my Marans, and will take every chance she gets to slip between my boots and get out into the yard. She often sneaks by my husband when he is scooping out their coop. Ah...

    My knowledge of Speckled Sussex is very limited, and you certainly know better than me. Still, I’d guess you’ve got 4 girls and 2 boys. Yellow and pink do look male, I agree. How many of each are you hoping for?

    Wow! Hannah’s comb and wattles are so much bigger than Martha’s, no wonder she’s top chicken! Which Dominiques are which in the last photo? I’m about to get another Dominique for my flock and have been wondering if I’ll be able to tell them apart by the tips of their combs. Looks like you...
