    Starting to get some nice things out of our garden -- blight hit our tomatoes pretty hard, but I was SUPER excited to see these little fellas: blueberry tomatoes! Chickens are doing great. I uploaded a video of them today -- if you're on Instagram you can find me @caseyu27 :) Lots of...

    I've been stupid busy this week at work, and tired by the time I'm home. I read updates but haven't had much to share!

    Good looking pup! Been really busy at work this week, plus had my ballet class tonight. We're consistently getting 3-5 eggs daily from our five girls now, so I'm happy about that!

    First five egg day, meaning all the girls are now laying, yay! I echo cuties re: the dog. I'd also suggest any books by Dr. Patricia McConnell, she's great. A frozen Kong is a good step, but to get at the roots you'll need behavior modification for the dog's separation anxiety. Start by...

    Hot day to clean the coop, but the girls appreciate it. Put out some ash for them to dustbathe in, and gave them some frozen watermelon to help them stay cool. We had a fabulous time in Door County, but I thought it was hilarious -- we drive 3.5 hours to vacation and what do my kids find...

    They have calcium and grit out for free feed, and I'm getting normal eggs. We'll see if it continues.

    Phew. Just back from our annual vacation in Door County. Had a friend's teenager watching the chickens for us -- they seem good. I did find three wonky eggs under the roosts -- looks like one tiny rubber egg, a full size rubber egg, and a deflated one (like it popped). A couple of my hens are...

    Game started at 6pm, or were you pregaming? What a game it was, too! Girls are doing well, at least two laying. We've gotten an egg each day for the last 8 days, then two today. Seems they're figuring it out. :) Hope all had a good 4th.

    Beautiful day! Cleaned the coop and had a water fight with my kids. All of us got soaked, good times. Looking forward to venison tenderloin and roasted butternut squash tomorrow for the fourth, chicken divan tonight. Also looking forward to our annual vacation up to Door County coming soon!

    I think the girls are messing with me. 2 eggs Sunday afternoon/evening. One egg Tuesday morning. Nothing since? They're just starting to lay, but I thought it was app. every 27-29 hours??

    Hen with cracked beak

    That's kind of what I'm thinking. No blood, she did eat in front of me seemingly fine. I'm just going to keep a close eye on it.

    Phew, that's reassuring. She's able to eat her normal feed ok, so we'll just keep a close eye on it for now

    Help? One of my hens cracked her beak today. I've read about superglue, leaving it alone, washing, etc. It's not too bad looking, and she's eating and drinking.
