wow!!! RECKLESS, that is a WILD collection! i love it... it's gonna take me a while to absorb! ESPECIALLY the chickens! amazing! i have a lady in my fridge, however she's in rough shape i was planning on 'fertilizer'
and i MOST love the photo with the beautiful little girl holding chicken :)
wow! really really beautiful! items and presentation! on this site though, all i can see/think is...bugs... i wonder which bugs the chickens would favor, ignore or run from!
i definitely want to see more photos!!
melabella! greetings and salutations! it has been a long time since i've logged on, as i have been up to my elbows in real life chicken stuff! looking forward to catching up on you and your flock this winter!
thanks for the pictures! :) i've not logged on for some time i see, as i have been spending all my time with chickens and chicken landscapes, and no cyber chicken time ;o
i have been using the taking my chances/free range method.... we've had our share of close calls the most recent one being...
Hello MB & all ! I have many pages to catch up on, But wanted to say hey! & how much I am enjoying pics and tales and tips, so far! And also, to report several six egg days :) hooray! We've shared our first dozens and baked galore! ...now I am listening for breakfast! I'm starving!! See you...

& greetings all, i have been busy with snowy chickens and had no time for online chickening!
i have been counting my eggs by memory & blog firsts so far, as it has been easy to remember 2 eggs a day every day! (but for one miss)
but when these...
i don't even know how much we got! well over 30" ...nearly 3 ' i'm sure.
thankfully, the drifts were not at all as bad as i expected.
the chickens have had enough and so have i!!!
but i'll be prepared for more. yuck.

DEFINITELY a look alike to (your?)black copper maran! well... i haven't the foggiest!? that wasn't even one on my list! lol ...so, i think that solves my mystery!! it must be?
in this picture you can see how almost all of her...
Thanks :) I found a couple of pros and cons even! and a for dummies that I had previously read but saw something new...
Minxfox had some key points... & i paraphrase... blues because easier to find (that's brilliant!)& practically speaking less ri$k... blunt, but finally that one makes sense...
oscar seems like the perfect name! or courtney!(love)
MB, you'll be up to 1ooo posts in no time!
speaking of mystery eggs...
here are my two laying ladies, when we bought the six we were unclear as to what they were. then we thought we knew. then we didn't. then maybe. then no.
so, here we...
sorry if you said and i missed it but, did you try the beads or the owl decoys yet? i'm wondering if they are worthwhile... or what about those "EYE balloons" that are always for sale along with decoys.
i have some great horned owls, and a whole clan of barred owls who could care less about...
i fear that i am foolish thinking my ladies are safe... i was worried about a host of things that go bump in the morning noon and night, but weasels!? they are weaselly!
i am triple checking myself, but i feel like they are like any other thief- if they want it, they'll get in.
and i agree...
new2p, yes indeed i did (even though i still don't really understand the stickies, and only find them by accident), however, thank you so much ! but i haven't really arrived at any definitive opinions on said items... again often opinions but no real foundation as to the whys.... like for...
'carny' is a prime chicken name, if i ever heard one!!
i went to tucson show for the first time a few years ago... amazing!!

CAT,
i do love gem names! (&/or gemma!)and i love the story connection... the flower faeries were another series of name i'd been contemplating.
but back to the gems.... i have promised myself that this is the year i get a small concrete mixer and one of the many projects i have in mind is an...
it IS hilarious to hear yourself say again and again, "wait, paul ryan the man, or paulryan the chicken??" (or, in your case, something like, 'what is billy ocean up to?') and the times that it is not necessary to clarify, it always reminds me of/sounds like MAD LIBS! and it was ridiculous the #...
hmmmm, i don't know that the eggshell on mine was any thinner than the others but THANKFULLY mine too was frozen...but that is curious about yours, mine don't have much oyster shell available, because i don't know where to put it (in the spring, i was thinking of a path made of it). i've had...
