    Topic of the Week - Boredom Busters for Winter

    Bag your Dried leaves for free enrichment to get through the winter. Lots of them! You'll thank me later! 12 bags was not enough for us last year! Hens LOVE scratching through the leaves with fresh scratch thrown down <3 I love to see them 'exercising' when its too bad out to do free range.

    Quiz: Is Your Flock Ready for Molt Season?

    Same! I have 9 hens and 1 starts in Aug. and all nine by Jan. This year my tribe of 5 are all starting to molt now. Think I'll do a batch of fermented feed to ensure they are getting the protein. They are not huge fans of peas i notice. 🐔💕

    Such a cute little story I had to share <3

    I told my 4 year old hen Rosie 'Come Come, I want to pick you up'. She never lets me so i keep on following her, arms outstretched, repeating 'Come Come Rosie, i want to pick you up'. I was led to a tall, round bush where she walked around it to avoid me. I followed, she kept walking around the...
