    RIP Beth II

    My dear sweet hen, Beth II passed away peacefully this morning. She started going downhill earlier this week and the past couple of days she refused to eat then drink. Beth was a rescued battery hen whom my Mom rescued on the side of a busy highway. Beth, though she stunk like no other chicken...

    A rant about unnecessary loss

    It's been a really tough fall in regards to livestock and there's been a lot of unnecessary loss of life. I don't live with my chickens - they're at a farm which is about 30 miles away while we build out our homestead. Generally the flock is well-cared for on the daily, and until recently an LGD...

    RIP Willow - my giant marshmallow rooster.

    I just wanted to take a minute and acknowledge the passing of our light Brahma rooster, Willow. We'd been having some issues with flock dynamics after he reached breeding age, and knew one of our roosters would need to be re-homed, we figured it just wasn't fair to Willow to have him...

    Dead cat? No explanation?

I am extremely sad my cat he was about 10 years old he went missing last wensday and we called his name multiple times because he always comes when you call his name and he always comes back. And today we went out to look for him...

    Memorial to Fern

    May 11th, 2020 - May 25th, 2021 One of our hens died last night. She was a sweet and loving hen, though shy at first. She was taken from us by a dreaded predator. She got too curious and stuck her head out of the chicken wire, and in turn, it got bit off. I miss her dearly. She was a gorgeous...

    Rest in peace, Bertha and Frannie :(

    I sadly had to put down the two best chickens in the entire world. They were the best chickens you could ask for. They had to stay secret in my neighborhood, and always stayed quiet. Frannie never layed eggs, but bertha did frannies part and layed all year round. I love both of them so much and...

    R.I.P Perri, always remembered, never forgotten.

    It was around 6:15 am in the morning that I heard the commotion. I heard panicked squawks from the chickens outside my window. I thought the flock of 9 was just being annoyed by plovers...but when I looked out my window...a fox was chasing them around. I gasped and ran to the laundry door in my...

    A Hawk Came Into the Yard....

    A hawk came into the yard... Sounds like a setup for a joke with a lame punchline. But it isn't. A hawk came into the yard and attacked my chickens. I never would have believed it if I hadn't seen it, but I came onto the scene too late. It got my Polish pretty good, she was bleeding and scared...

    Remembering Ethel

    One of our smallest, most unique hens, Ethel passed away yesterday. I believe she has had reproductive issues since she was around a year old, maybe less. It was getting worse as the months progressed. Around 8 months ago, she started laying broken eggs. She would also frequently become...

    RIP my sweet Sarah

    Last May my sister in law had called me saying that she had just chased down a fox to get him to drop our rooster Earl which she was out looking for since he was laying down in the bushes by the creek by our house trying to hide from the fox. I rushed home just hoping and worrying about him and...

    RIP my beautiful baby girl Mochi

    This morning something terrible happened. My Cayuga ducks, Mochi, who I raised when she was just a little duckling, passed away today. We woke up getting ready to go on a family day trip when it happened. I saw her laying on the ground outside completely unable to move. She was just flopped...

    Sick chicken didn't make it :(

    So after 2 days of zero improvement on my 2 1/2 month old hen. I had to make the super hard decision of taking her life. This has been one of those horrible life experiences that I guess as a flock owner you have to learn. It's amazing how these animals only after a couple month become so close...
