    The Phippy Flock

    Our flock began last year when my son asked for chickens for his 9th birthday. We did some research, and since we suddenly had time at home (here's one benefit to the covid quarantines), we let him pick up 4 chicks. He raised them up with tons of love and produced 4 lap-chickens. So... here...

The mothers are Oliver Eggers, Frost White Legbars, Cream Legbars, and Golden Comets (or ISA browns). What can we possibly expect for the egg color? We aren't...

    Older hens killed pullets

    we had 4 pullets about 8 weeks. They’ve all been integrated for a few weeks. Things were going well. Not much bullying just the odd peck here or there. Yesterday we found two pullets scalped. One dead and one almost dead. I can’t say it was 100% the older hens but that’s what I’m guessing. When...
