Love your coop! And your babies are very pretty as well. :)

Some of them we offer for free and are very clear on their age. Some get eaten. And a select few get to retire here and spend the rest of their days bossing the younger ladies around. No, it's never easy. She was ready to go though, she said it was her time. I write epic fantasy (dragons...

I too have been absent for far too long. Things have been crazy busy for a while. I had all of the run up to a book release earlier this spring, Then the garden went crazy this summer and the produce from it was trying to take over my kitchen (we were bringing in 130+ pounds of tomatoes from it...

Al is wonderful! I absolutely LOVE the Swedish Flowers. I'm going to have to get more of them when I make more room. Right now we have Black Star, Red Star, Partridge Rock, Buttercup, Polish, and the Swedish Flowers.

Wow, I guess it's been a while since I've been here but everything got really busy and some things got pushed to the back burner. All of the chickens wintered over well. We did put the heat lamps we use for new chicks in the chicken house over the nests during the coldest parts of the winter. I...

Oh, now that I may have to try!

Sounds like y'all have been busy! We've been working on getting the goose house up. For now they go into a stall in our garden shed at night. We picked about 50 lbs of sandhill plums. Already have ten jars of jelly and four and half gallons of juice left over. We've ran more cannerfuls of...

Sounds like Murphy's Law is working against both of you in opposite ways. Sorry about your garden, Okjenyp, it's amazing how quickly chickens can tear it up. Danz, hopefully your chickens find their way through the gate eventually.

I write epic fantasy and recently released a young adult paranormal romance.

Chicken watching is better than watching a fish tank. I love watching them do their thing. I've gotten quite a bit done around here today. Got a bunch of stuff brought in from the garden. Got the green beans in the pressure canner And back out Got the geese pool emptied...

I hope your duck hen is indeed somewhere with a nest. Sorry about your Sussex hen :( Rained here again this morning. UGH! It needs to stop! We were so unbelievably dry out here for several years, like you said, you wouldn't think it would be a problem, but everything is so beyond saturated out...

I'm officially sick of the rain. It rained here for hours again this morning. First we don't have enough now we have too much out here.

Thunderstorms and tons of rain again this morning. I think the drought is probably broken out here this year.

Nice work! On no! I'm so sorry you lost so many babies, Danz. How heart breaking Very handsome boys you have there. Especially the bottom one. I saw Winfield was without power for a while last night and thought of you. Hopefully all of your eggs and babies do okay. Saturday I had a...

Things have been crazy busy here. I did get a vid of my American Buffs enjoying their wading pool for the first time. They're about three weeks old now.

We took the wire up one side, over the top and down the other. Secured it to the swing set with zip ties, laid the 3x3 poles along the bottom (we did lay the poles on the edges of the wire to keep it from rolling back up). Once we had all of the wire up on the frame and secured good, we wrapped...

It finally stopped raining here about mid-night. Today the sun showed itself which is nice. We put up a new play pen outside for the baby geese since they'd outgrown their smaller one. We repurposed an old swing set frame we had to give them a safe and secure place so they can start spending the...

It's been raining here for hours (since about 3 am). It's only 61 degrees with wind gusts up to 31 mph. Way too chilly! There was no way the baby geese could go out today. They may have doubled (or more) in size already but they are still nothing but fuzz. So we spent some time in the shed...

It was a nice drive. I was worried it would rain on us the whole way but it turned off partly sunny and absolutely beautiful so it was an enjoyable drive. :)

I met Trish today and picked up my absolutely lovely Lavender Orphington, and Swedish Flower chicks. I have to say I'm extremely happy with them. They are bright-eyed, active and doing well.
