    My ladies are all settled into their new coop on the farm and have a new friend to guide them. I think he's going to be called Gaston. My friend who was able to take them in doesn't name her chickens but since all of his ladies have names, it only makes sense. Copper's dad and sister are...

    She said no one complained, that she saw it driving by but I know that's not true. You can't see my coop from the street and I've had it for 5+ years with no one seeing it. So I'm positive someone called. I have a suspicion but no real proof. My backyard neighbor is building a pool. They...

    Well the ultimate thing we all know COULD happen but pray won't has happened. Animal Control stopped by. 😭 She was super nice and didn't cite me this time. She's going to come back in a couple of weeks to check in. I need to either have my coop in compliance with permit requirements or...

    My littles are spending full days outside now and just going to their brooder to sleep. They were in a crate in the run for a few days and then I put up a make-shift "patio" for them so they can get some outside time. The big girls can come and go through the coop but the littles haven't...

    I have a ton of seedlings waiting for Mother's Day and my 4 week old chicks got some outside time the other day when it hit 80. Anxious to get all of this outside!! The refurbished coop is about 3/4 painted. I ran out before getting a full 2nd coat and still need to do the trim pieces but...

    Why is it that they never believe us when we are trying to do something in their best interests? Such suspicious little things. LOL!

    I'm glad she got away but poor thing! Who knew that a broody turkey would be cuddly!

    I'm in Tinley Park and would absolutely bring them to you if you could do it. I don't need them processed for meat but I don't mind if you want the meat. The injured one probably isn't safe to eat and she's a scrappy old lady with nothing on her. The bully is pretty big and if you wanted the...

    Hello friends! Sorry I am not around as much as I used to be. Life has gotten to be a lot and I'm trying to keep my head above water. And on the list of "a lot" does anyone know of someone who will humanely dispatch in the south suburbs? I have one who's been slow fading for MONTHS and now...

    I have a few rose combs and they do pink up a little more than the others but I feel like I might see some saddle feathers. I'm not good at this game but I think the jury may still be out on that cutie pie. I am definitely getting more eggs -- finally!!!! I think the new coop build threw a...

    I know we need winter and all but does it have to be SOOO wintery? Like, let's not be dramatic, 33° is more than sufficient to winter things up. 😂🤣 If it simply must hit 32, do it overnight and be back at 33 or higher by the time chickens wake up and need water. I'll even tolerate high 20's for...
