Spent today with our sweet rooster Ruby who is showing signs of older age. My daughter is home for Spring Break and felt he needed some love…he’s such a good boy. Hung out like this with her all day. 🥰❤️
I have a friend who got something like this from Nestera and her only real complaint was that it was smaller than she wanted. The ease of cleaning was her favorite part. :D I would say the most important thing in plastic coops is sufficient ventilation, and the Omlet's never had an issue with...
@ChicksnMore I saw your OD post and meant to reply and then got sidetracked by all the chaos with AI and poultry show cancellations and forgot to reply!!
Your ODs are just gorgeous and I'm hoping they start laying really soon so we can discuss an egg swap!! :D I just love the coloration on them...
I do have plastic coops and they are superior in every way with regards to cleaning and mites. They are not any better with regards to rats and a bit worse for that because it is not easy to patch up plastic once damaged. They are pricey, but they are definitely worth it when it comes to low...
Mimi (Miyuki) is 3 this year, so she’s still young. She’s got a lot of odd neuroses, including weakened back legs and lack of balance. She also never seems to gain much weight and goes from fine to ravenous very quickly. It also seems like she can’t see very well and she chews very weirdly, like...
I’m not sure that I have the energy…I think I’m operating in a deficit which is part of the problem 😆😆 Thank you for saying that though! Sometimes I feel like if I can’t find a way to make it all work I’m letting the kids down…but I’m learning that it’s better that they have a mom that’s not...
I know, my therapist tells me all the time that I need to stop filling the spaces…I’m slowly learning she’s right haha. It’s hard because I want to be able to do it all! Turns out I’m only human and that’s really not possible 😆🤪
So glad the band is back!! It fills my cup!! ❤️❤️
It looks awesome! You guys really do it right when you do things for your animals ❤️❤️ Seeing your dry, green, beautiful run area makes me very jealous though 😆😆 Right now mine are all brown gray mud and skeleton trees. We just got thru a week of rain they called a “family” of atmospheric...
I’m so sorry to hear about Tuck!! I’m sure he was little but mighty! ❤️ Hugs friend, it hurts so much loving our animals the way that we do.
So glad to hear from you though! I can’t wait to hear the updates on things. Life is always pushing us along…teaching us all the things. I too need me...
Thanks! Yes, 2024 my daughter played softball and soccer (all year) and volleyball (this Fall on top of soccer and softball), and my son played baseball in spring, basketball in summer, soccer this Fall, and is now playing flag football 🤪. Plus we do show chickens and I run the Poultry Project...
Happy Holidays all. It’s been awhile since I’ve had time to catch up on here, but I’ve missed you all!
@TropicalBabies im so sorry to hear about Elliot and all the losses youve suffered this year. I know your heart will need time to heal, but like @Shetland lover said…make sure you are doing...
We are battling mites and end of summer ailments right now 😖 Spent a lot of time deep cleaning coops and dousing them in mite killers…dousing all the birds…checking them for other issues.
Ariana Sushi appears to be battling cancer and I’m certain we will lose him soon :-( His foot has a giant...
Such naughty chickens you and @PopoMyers have! 😆 I stopped planting gardens because my dogs always destroy what lives thru the hellish summers…but my chickens are running rogue in the backyard these days like naughty criminals so they’re in trouble now because they keep pooping all over my patio...
It's been a while since I popped in, but it's been a busy summer at work!
We are having the yearly heat wave that comes in September before we start having temps that are more Fall-like, so the chickens are hot and fed up with 105-degree weather. Because of the hot summer (hottest on record...
You did alllll of this before 9:50?!? When did you get up? 4? 😆😆 Well done! I feel like a slob in comparison 😆 My coops are all in desperate need of love before Fall heads this way!
THATS so exciting for you rescue org!! What a great and high profile client ❤️❤️ I hope she has a fantastic time...
OMG I would have had a major panic attack! I have avoided touching the spurs for fear of this very thing. I’m sure that Stan was chill cuz he knows he’s in good hands ❤️ Well done Momma! ❤️❤️
