    Spiders ...

    Spider season has arrived 😫 I am aware they are there a majority of the year but August to November seem to be the worst for me ... they are bigger meaning the webbs are bigger . They enjoy dropping down from the roof of the run inches from my face while I am trying to fill feeders and wateres...

    Baby Bubbs , my little cross beak

    Baby Bubbs started developing cross beak at 2 weeks old . He is active and enjoys all the chick things his siblings do . He has just hit the 4 week milestone and is consistently gaining weight . He is not the largest but also not the smallest of his hatchmates so I take that as a good sign 😉...

    I currently have 1 male with 4 females and the other 2 are in a mixed bantam coop with 1 silkie hen and 3 others . The 3 I mention in my post would go into the pen with the 1 male and 4 females which would be 2 males to 6 hens . With that said I do plan to add more hens but short term till I can...

    Broody behaviour

    I have a 1.5yr old Cochin who has been on and off the nest 3 times in the last month but never completely commits 😞 She has even growled at me for opening the curtain on her nest box while she was in it. Do they work up to it ? Should I just let the eggs accumulate for a couple days ? Is it...

    Winterizing the coop

    Side to side ventilation at the rafters flows front to back so should be plenty of air flow . I use shavings in the coop. My main concern is when the temps drop to -10 or lower without a windchill. The coop is fairly air tight aside from the open eaves which are about 16inches above the roosts...
