Hello! So it's the season where suburbia will be putting their leaves in bags for municipality to pick up, anyone know if I can take a few? I'd like to use in garden and in the chicken run... Am I overthinking it that some could be harmful .. with pesticides? We don't spray anything on our...
Just kidding, we have hens and roosters ๐๐๐๐ซฃ๐ซฃ๐ซฃ๐ซฃ. This morning my better half was going down stairs and grumbling, I asked him how his quiet morning was going? ๐๐๐ As Kitty is singing her egg song and Petey is serenading her. Haha! He said how did you know?
So today my rooster Petey picked my lone ripening cherry tomato and picked it! Then proceeded to deliver it to his hens ๐๐๐. I was looking to eating some home grown tomatoes really soon, guess not.
I wish I could have gotten a picture!
Hello everyone! I just thought I'd share something that worked for me with my small flock. I know this isn't feasible for a large flock!
I observe my ladies crops and poops while they're still perched in the morning, my girl Edith is molting and I noticed her poops were grainy for a couple of...
My little RIR has a broken wing. It's the first bone that's attached to the shoulder. It's not compound, there's no bruising. She's eating and drinking well. I looked here to see if there are tutorials to wrap her wing but couldn't find anything. Can someone please help me ๐ญ. I can't lose...
11 month old RIR pullet, noticed a growth on side of her neck on Sunday afternoon.
No observed bruising.
Doesn't appear to have increased in size.
Ate well on Sunday evening, laid an egg on Monday.
Gave vitamin E, selenium, b complex, and amoxicillin on Sunday.

Hello! I've been looking for a 100% WFH job now that my company is mandating three days in the office, any recommendations? I'm seeing alot of jobs hiring in California but I don't know anything about them.
Hello! Would you have a recommendation of a good quality of a manual meat grinder. The kind that either has a clamp for the counter or maybe suction cup? Thank you in advance!
Hello! Tis' the season for SOUP! You may have to share your favorite soup recipe!

Your credit card can be in one of three coats, and is usually not in your wallet, causing you hyperventilating and chest pains at the register ๐๐๐ซฃ... Hopefully not just me๐
Hello! My hen Kitty was attacked by a hawk a couple of weeks ago. She has healed nicely from the gash under her wing and has grown back most of her feathers he plucked ( my rooster Petey saved her ๐), however she won't leave the coop now. She went to leave one time but the stinking hawk was...
Plans for today... Watch frozen while I finish baking cookies and then do some cleaning. I looked like the little brother from a Christmas story walking the dogs this morning and checking on my flock. ๐
Today was a wonderfully slow day and I feel revived. I walked my pups, took care of my DH breakfast, an English muffin with Canadian ham, havarti cheese and a fresh egg๐, took care of my flock, sat with them, held a couple of them, watched them eat and run around. Then started on slow braised...
We went to a farm to table restaurant called founding farmers, it's in King of Prussia...I saw this and fell in love!
It marries my love for chickens and gardening nicely โค๏ธ
We had a failed hawk attack this afternoon and I can't find one hen. She hasn't come out of hiding. I checked everywhere and even army crawled through pricker bushes. Do they respond at all of they are stuck? ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ. I kept calling her and then had my dogs with me to see if they could smell her...
