Happy Thursday gang. I have been doing just the minimum chickening lately, so not much to mention about them on this end.
I did lose Nina (my blind adopted chicken) this morning. I saw that coming as she slowed and then just stopped eating all together this last week. I told myself when she...
I also wanted to give you a laughing emoji for the chicken math 😂😂😂😂. I hear ya! I read a post of mine from my first 6 months of chicken keeping stating I would never have more than 5 because they were a handful. Oh what fun!!!! ♡♡♡♡
Your new babies are truly stunning and I am super happy for...
I forgot to lock the chicken hatch again last eve so my bandits are out roaming the yard. I love seeing them out and about, plus DH is not home so hall pass 👍 Girls have been laying gangbusters still. 21 eggs in 3 days from 10 chooks. Terrific chickens.
I do need to get out there and do a big...
Aloha chicken people!
@PopoMyers , i am so sorry for your loss :hugs . I hope your heart and head are in a good spot. You worked really hard to keep your babies safe and well. She had a good chicken life ♡
@Noraaaaa absolutely LOVELY ♡ only 5 years... looking good! How often do you get to...
Oh my gosh ♡ beeeebies!! It seems like forever since I have seen a terrific photo of baby chicks. Guess it is the season now. Nice job and congrats!
Welcome to the thread ✨️ 😄
We FINALLY had a good soaking rain. The cooler temps and wet weather feel late, or not at all to me this year. I do enjoy my rain! Flock faired well as it was not a wind event. They gave me 5 eggs yesterday in protest of the weather.
Yesterday was a big kitty clean up after the rains, so today I...
Sorry, been there done that. So I can't help but laugh through the tears. I am sorry to hear about the spur, blood and hairball. Sounds a like Tuesday.
I guess i forgot to collect eggs the day b4 and was thrilled to see this yestereve! Bravo ladies!!
Don't tell my neighbors... I'm not sharing eggs anymore, lol.
I've been busy with house stuff so not enjoying the kids like i should. I do open the gate for freerange in the eves and they get lots...
I do poop boards, and I need to scrape them every 1- 5 days. Longer I leave it the longer the chore. It goes straight into my compost tumblers.
I do have some perches where poop drops to the ground. I like to mulch as straw has been a bit more of a pain with turning it under or scooping it up...
So, no eggs in the stores now. Private sellers will be $12-$15 per dozen. I'm thinking my chick order may not make it in June or July.
Things have barely settled down for me at home, with family and cats etc. But maybe intubating eggs is just what I need. I will think about it for the next...
Aloha gang and Happy Sunday!
Last eve the chooks got to freerange again. I put vitamins in the water and refilled the feeders. Today I cleaned nestboxes and scraped poop boards. I have been a little lax on the boards...
They got starfruit and lettuce and tomatoes for snacks. They give me 6-7...
Those mph winds are brutal. I'm so sorry. Ugh, the bird flu strikes again. Obviously this planet is trying to shed itself of humans. We really should have been better to her 🌎💔💔💔. I thought I heard we had a case on either Oahu or Kauai too. Not good.
I'm gunna follow suit and button up some...
Chickens ♡
I often thought of the blue pool thing but, was also thinking I would have the same results, wasted money and effort - and terrified chickens. I also thought a Pasco liner may work, be a little less terrifying, plus I could make it shallow and to whatever size and shape I needed, but...
