    Thanks so much for your words. I know I am so much more fortunate than so many in our world. I feel guilty sometimes thinking I might have it rough. :) I will try to figure out how to post some pictures for you. She is not much to see...a one eyed pug...but the best friend I've ever had. I...

    Thank you so much for your advice. I know the things that help me personally. Exercise and staying busy help so much. I have one of those wagging antidepressant fur balls on the sofa next to me right now. She is a good girl and a great little chicken dog. I don't mean to complain, but a lot...

    Sorry the delay in getting back to you. I worked a bunch of days and am struggling with the winter blues. It was a super effort to get out of bed. Is it okay to feed them their own eggs. I worry about enough protein. :)

    I kept them in a spare room. I covered the floors with old blankets and they were just pullets then. It was kind of a mess to clean up after they went to their coop. But it was great for bonding and getting them used to me. I work nights here. The gentleman at the grocery here gave me a big...

    It's tough in winter for me too. My chickens make me feel peaceful inside. They were a blessing last winter. I had them in the house until mid April when I assembled my first coop. It was nice to handle them every day and develop a relationship with them. In August a friend helped me build...

    Be careful. We have a layer of snow. Its supposed to get up to 40 degrees F. this weekend. I imagine rain will be involve but maybe they will come out. I have a covered run area that is thickly padded with hay. They usually come out to explore but way too cold for most of them. Your...

    Oh I see Bolton...near Liverpool. Lots of rain just like us...we've been getting really cold air the past few weeks. When I open the coop...none of them come out except the bantam. She is fearless. She also has that warm little headdress. Her name is Tina Turner. :D

    Hi! I live in Seward. My chickens were the answer to my empty nest issues. No more kids at home...so then there were chickens. I love my chickens. They each are their own individuals...interacting with me in their individual ways. I could relate to your feelings. I feel really guilty when...

    I know how you feel. I live in Alaska. It is so cold. I try to go out with them but with work and short days it is so tough. You sound like such a lovely chicken owner. Just be with them when you can and don't feel guilty. They are lucky to be with you.
