    Almost ready to re-up the Cayugas

    Hello Sarah! I had a difficult time finding eggs during Covid as well and they’re soo expensive. My go to places were PCC and ‘Left Foot Farms’ at the farmers market. (I’m just south of Seattle.) so we got a little mixed flock. Definitely support your decision!

    From chicklets to ducklets…

    my chickens won't touch mint plants... and they tend to leave my other really strongly flavored herbs (like sage and rosemary) alone as well... but is there enough room in the run for them? my little ones can destroy a patch of grass like no body's business... now that they have the whole...

    Quote: lol wel i'm glad you are happy they seem nice enough... they always want to mob me when i have treats thought i'd keep one of the roos as a calm gentleman but looks like pancake (the silver phoenix) has won the deal thus far

    gold laced cochin babies...

    there is full feathering on 2 of 4 toes... with the 3rd toe looking like there will be feathering on it on most of them... looks like the feathering is just coming in slower / smaller.. Didn't see a whole lot of feather activity on the 4th toe. but i just ran out to look at them as they are...
