    Sansa is officially the meanest broody I've ever had, this happened in literally 15 seconds while I was checking for eggs that didn't belong, smdh. On a happy note, I've got a 3 day weekend and today I'm making cranberry grape juice with the steamer hubs for me for Christmas 😊

    Why aren’t Whiting True Blues more popular?

    I think you need to read the full description of the breed and have a little more understanding of genetics. WTB's carry 2 copies of the blue egg gene, 💯, not 25🤔. They may not breed true for color, but they breed true for blue eggs, you can't say that about any EE crosses, unless tested.

    Quick update: Sansa has been clucking and acting broody for weeks but doesn't sit in the nest box besides to lay, so I've left her be. Thursday she stayed in the nest box all day and laid an egg, but slept on the roost, Friday she did the same, but slept in the nest box (I collected both eggs)...

    Must be something around our area this year🤷‍♀️ Last year I was overrun with cucumbers, this year they just stopped growing. I'm grateful I've got some folks to trade with. My flock loves cucumbers, squash, and tomatoes. All the seeds I took out of the cucumbers for the relish I put in the...

    My cucumbers failed this year but I traded with a guy my husband works with (3lbs of cucumbers for 3ish pounds of banana peppers and tomatoes) I made enough pickle relish for the year with enough to share😊

    Thank you! I try and provide as much of a natural environment as I can since they don't free range. They do get access to my large fenced yard, but only under supervision, so I want them to have the best life possible. And yes, it is never-ending 😉😂

    I completely understand how tempting they'd be, they were quite handsome! I've just got the one Wheaten Marans roo, quite a few WM ladies and a plethora of other ladies. I do have splash wheaten ameraucana which makes beautiful blue wheaten OE chicks with roo. I'm still waiting to see what this...

    She seems good, back to laying (2 eggs so far) I'm watching her like a hawk! You can see her dust bathing by the Texas sage. Thank you for asking💓 A little video from today of the little littles (almost 3 weeks) out partying with everyone. They're still putting themselves to bed in the grow out...

    Sorry work has been crazy, I'm glad someone snatched them up, I'm against introducing hormonal young cockerels at that age. There is no way of knowing for sure how they were raised. Hatch some babies or get some super young cockerels that your hens can whoop up on and teach some manners to. Just...

    It happens, but from the looks of them it'll be happening soon! Chickens are sneaky like that😂

    I'm not finding any hatcheries in Texas that sell them. Maybe try craigslist or Facebook. Good luck with your search.
