    Sorry about the loss of your pretty little pullet. I am preparing to move house and I'm giving away all my chickens. It has been harder on me than I anticipated. :(

    They are beautiful! Glad things are going well and you are enjoying your chickens. They are great entertainment!

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I saved some seeds from last year...This year I had a volunteer of the Dragon Chiles but it hasn't set fruit.

    Happy birthday! I wouldn't worry about the gobbled egg if you are supplementing with oyster shell and it doesn't happen regularly. The first time I discovered my chickens had eaten an egg I was so disappointed! But since then that only has happened when an egg is broken by accident.

    Any one want to join me in waiting for eggs, posting and comparing notes?

    She is lovely!

    That's great. People are usually surprised when I tell them which chickens lay which eggs. The only ones that I can't distinguish are a few of my Easter Eggers. I am prayin for rain on the west coast. We need it here in Idaho, we need it where you live and we need it in my hometown Wenatchee...

    I have been spraying the run on hot days too. They really seem to appreciate it! And you hit a new baby, YAY!

    I love it!!! I have only bought already hatched chicks. I would love to observe a mother hen with her chick! Chicken behavior is so interesting. I have Easter Eggers and every once in a while I will spot one chicken pulling bits of debris out of another one's beard. The one on the receiving end...

    My Silver Grey Dorkings are 20 weeks old now! Aren't they striking?

    @hennible, that counts as a recipe for me. Do you have a problem with the tea attracting flies it do you cover it? Thank you!!!

    Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

    Yay, re-joining the ranks of the crazy chicken-keepers!

    Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

    Working... Last week was vacay and I'm back at work meeting with mental health client. Good for you for doing the repair! I have these grand ideas to make improvements, but somehow in real life the solution is 3-10 times more challenging then it was in my head. :)
