    Funny BK commercial

    You've all probably seen it before, but if you haven't I knew you'd all appreciate it on the same level as we did (being chicken lovers :))

    Born to Hatch!

    Our hen Scrappy has gone broody several times now and this time we have decided to let her hatch some chicks as a means to break her.....hopefully for a longer period of time this time. Right now she goes broody about every 3 months or so. The only problem is we don't really want to expand our...

    Happy early valentines :)

    I was out snapping pictures of Princess Jasmine today. I took a few obligatory chicken butt shots. Chicken butt pictures are easy to get since it is the one pose they tend to stand still for. I think they're afraid of my camera. To my surprise I captured a heart shaped fluffy butt! I...

    Our second Easter Egger left us a boxing day present

    Our Easter Eggers hatched mid May 2010 and finally we believe we have our 6th out of 6 laying hens (Princess Jasmine). The day after Christmas! Today my wife found a darker green egg in the middle of the coop with silver/blue feathers stuck to it. She's been checking out the nest boxes for...

    New blonde girlfriend leads to jealousy

    I came out for my morning egg collection and I noticed my sweet little easter egger Goldielocks was getting BRIGHT red. I thought to myself, I wonder if she will squat for me. I noticed that she has become a lot less skittish around me lately. Both easter eggers have gone from our friendliest...

    Newest problem - BSL hen gone broody! Video linked

    Well it was bound to happen but I really didn't expect either of my Black Sex Links to be the chickens to have gone broody. Scrappy has been spending longer and longer on the nest each day. When approached she does the bristling and vocal threats you see in the video. She has also plucked her...

    Chickens not laying in nest boxes

    We've managed to get most of our chickens laying in the coop itself. We are happy about this. However, they have never used our nest boxes. They prefer to use the corner of the coop. With winter coming our chickens will be using the coop a lot more and we are worried that our precious eggs...

    New flock member

    My new son..... well he's actually 2 months old now. I thought about posting before, but never have. I'm generally a very private individual. My wife (happytalons) and I are pretty proud of him and I can't help but to at least post a little something Here are two of several not publicly...

    Those little.....

    So, I'm at home sick on the couch when I hear a racket outside. Not an egg song or a pre egg song, but more the other chickens upset and calling out to their escaped comrades. Over the last few days we've been having a problem with a few of our more delinquent chickens jumping into our front...

    Winterizing coops

    A bit early, but I would like to plan ahead. I was hoping that somebody could post pictures perhaps of what they do to winterize their coops. My coop is a "chicken tractor" style coop.... It is a heavily modified version of the Horizon Structures "Pull it coop". I put that in quotes because...

    For those who care, another chicken video :)

    I made this one for some people at work who marvel that I have pet chickens. Chickens as a pet seen as a bit.....weird... to them. But, they like my stories. Well I have fun with them, so that's all that matters .

    A new treat

    So, I'm sitting on a deckchair and I notice our Australorp Edna has grabbed something big off the ground forgaging under our Catalpa tree. My chickens are notorious for going after garbage so I perked up to see what it was. I figured they pulled up a plant label or something and Edna was...

    Oyster shells

    Our Australorp has been going through a lot of changes lately. She got her big girl voice...finally.... after a few weeks of honking like a goose. Her head feathers became a lot thicker last molt and her comb has become much larger and bright red. Yesterday we found her on the deck (where...

    My Flock

    Here's a video of our flock . Our Easter Eggers (seen at the end of the video) have started to feather out at last. I think they're really starting to look nice now that the down has fallen off and some different colored feathers have come in. I'd also like some opinions on Foxy. We think...

    Adventures at Wild Animal Safari in Stafford Missouri

    So we took a little mini trip down to Springfield Missouri. We ended up staying at the Ramada hotel there in town which was just fantastic. It had two pools (indoor and an outdoor) with a large jacuzzi. The indoor pool is surrounded by a indoor greenhouse type deal with large tropical plants...

    Easter Egger chick giveaway. Before and Now pictures.

    We are thinking that we will keep these two to fill out our flock. It was a hard decision because they're all such nice chicks (nicer than some of our bigger ones really). But we don't have the space and don't want to expand our flock beyond 6 total. Princess Jazmine Goldielocks The...

    Chicken Dirt Bath

    Well since we've moved our chicks to the outdoor coop they've lacked a decent bathing station. Our yard has a lot of hard clay soil which is hard to work with a shovel let alone with chicken talons, so I bought several bags of topsoil and made a chicken bath area. They didn't know what to do...

    Easter Egger Extravaganza!

    Well I wanted ONE more chicken to round out our flock and well.... my wife informed me that she needs "muffs". It is her birthday soon and a girl needs her muffs doesnt' she? Yesterday she researched and drove around and found that Easter Eggers are not as easy to get your hands on as you'd...
