Thanks Abrehmer. It was just such a shock- when I saw her this weekend she was acting perfectly healthy...
Here's a couple of photos of my coop at home, although we have made a few changes.
This is the front view, we've added a tarp to the top to keep out Rain and snow. Since it's on...
Hello one again Wisconsinites. Once again I have vanished under the pressure of schoolwork, but return for a short time.
But today I'm here with very sad news... my lovely girl Rosie passed away this morning from unknown causes.
My mom called me this morning to tell me what happened.
She was...
And I'm back again! I am so terrible about getting on to post! Techincally, I should really be studying for my test tomorrow, but wanted to say hello first!
Rosie's eggs are FANTASTIC, it turned out that she was our first layer, not Stella. Although Stella laid her first today too! I am so proud...
I'm sorry I have been so inactive for the past week- I've been busy moving into college and attending my first classes.
I have VERY exciting news though- one of my chickens has just laid her first egg! I'm still stuck on my campus, but am heading home tomorrow to go see it! No photos yet- but...

If I could get more chickens, I would get...

I hope everyone has a fantastic day!

Good afternoon! It's another gorgeous day! I wish I could go out to the lake today, but it's packing for college day... I move on Sunday! So much to do!!
WIChookchick / Carol!! That sounds like a very cool looking bird. Could you post a picture of your frizzle brahma and then when you've got...
I am just SO excited for the coop tour on Saturday, I've been working on poster boards for the last three hours and am still not done! It was an exciting day for the girls though- I let them free range around the backyard, it's been quite a while since they've been out, and they were causing...

I'll try my best to remember! It sounds like it's going to be a VERY busy day.
I won't be hard to miss, besides being in a chicken skirt, I think my family's coop may be the only one with chicken murals painted all over it. I can't wait- but I have a lot to get done before Saturday...
I have a tendency to disappear from forums for a while- sorry about that!!
