    $5 a dozen?? Phx Farmer's Market

    I pay upwards of $4 a dozen for organic free range eggs at the grocery store here, and I would pay more for fresh eggs.... but that's also why I am getting my OWN fresh and beautiful eggs soon!

    Please Help Me Raccoon Proof

    Michelle, we are currently waiting to see if our coop is going to be tested by our local raccoons. (We live in Alameda).. When we were building the coop, my husband asked me why it had to be so secure. I told him that raccoons think chickens are delicious, and plus, we have city raccoons so they...

    Sparrow Ministries - 01-06-2012 Cleaning room done!

    Awesome! I am in tears reading about this. Hunger is so very real everywhere. I was just reading that the line for food pass out in SF went around 4 blocks and squiggled around 4 times. I just told my husband that I would not be able to be there as the food ran out. I might just sob if I...

    Missing comb on 4 1/2 week old

    Well, the one with the missing comb is an Easter Egger. I swear she had a comb yesterday, a small one, but the ridges were there. DARN IT. The one with the redness near the comb is my 3 1/2 year olds chicken (DRATS. I KNEW we shouldn't have let him pick one out!). I am going to cross my...

    Missing comb on 4 1/2 week old

    We are new chicken owners, and have a small flock of 6 chickens. They are almost 5 weeks old and are still inside the house, but will be moved out to their coop this weekend. All six of the chickens had developed little combs on their heads. This evening we noticed that the comb on one of the...
