I am crossing my fingers that this week will be the last one with the coop in the garage! I have a second friend coming over to help paint while the first one works on the roof. It'll be kind of crowded in there, but hopefully we can get it all done. I have extra motivation to clear out the...
My chickens are all growing up! They're so big now. I took more pics today. Wow, what a lovely afternoon it turned out to be, too.
Jerk must be getting very close to laying. She's not squatting, but she's so red!

Hey, I've considered bringing my two silkie cockerels along in the hopes they would be going home with someone else! The boys are looking gorgeous. But every time I go in the garage they crow at me.

I'll definitely be at IKEA on Saturday, unless the kid throws a total fit. Which he may. Something's going on, maybe a new molar coming in. He's been waking up during the night again if he has the slightest discomfort (he's been really gassy). Today he drooled all over in the car, too. He's got...
I couldn't resist. I turned on the Keurig (I do one cup at a time) and added some of the cocoa mix my sister-in-law made. YUM! I think I'll add some to my afternoon cup every day. Thanks!

I've been meaning to post this pic for a week. My Polish hen has dropped every one of her tail feathers! Poor thing has been molting since I bought her in November.
She was taking a dust bath in a pile of sawdust yesterday. She's funny. I think she likes living in the garage. Sorry girl...
I am also in Lynnwood and have been building my coop (well, my friend who was a construction worker is lol) for a few months now in my garage. You are welcome to come by and see it some time. I got some ideas from the Wichita coop but I'm basing a good bit off Heather Bullard's coop plans. It's...
I have another question on silkies. I took a close look at my cockerels yesterday. I am guessing that they are about 4 months old. When I spread out their wings, they have a gap between the feathers. Is it possible they will feather in more, or do they definitely have split wings by this point...
Aww, I'm sorry. Seems like it's the friendly ones that are lost first. I'm sure she was a lot happier spending her final hours inside in comfort.

Man, that sucks. Too many bees are being lost every year. I have problems with pollination in my yard, even though I don't use any pesticides at all and grow tons of flowers for the bees and hummingbirds. Somehow the trees and bees just aren't waking up at the same time in the spring.
I hope...
