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 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 have a year old easter egger with a impacted crop. It is abut the size of a tennis ball :( I have isolated her with only water for 24hrs and massaging crop 3 times a day with little difference. Today I gave her pureed pumpkin mixed with plain yogurt and scrambled egg. She wouldn't eat it until...

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...

Picked up these 2 little girls this morning . They told me they thought they were Silver laced ... silver laced what though lol I am only about 4 months in to this adventure and am not familiar with all the differnt varieties yet . They were hatched in early june and are about the same size as...
This is my rabbit hutch turned chicken coop... I dont love it but it works for the time being. My plan is to take the divinding wall out to give my 3 more space , and add a nesting box . I will be cutting about a foot off the bottom pen area so the coop stands roughly 3 feet . This will allow me...
