    This is normal, right?!

    Just walk around all Quasimodo hunched over because there’s a freaking chicken that won’t get off your back! 🤦🏽‍♀️😂 Their automatic coop door took a crap this morning and they were “locked in” until like 10. I felt sooo bad! When I finally got up there to let them out, they rushed me like...

    Ain’t as Easy as it Looked ...

    I’ve seen a few folks post such cute pics of their chickens with a holiday hat or scarf ... and oh how did I want to do that with my girls! Thankfully, I already had supplies on hand. (Hubby’s a taxidermist and I have “seasonal holiday attire” for the first groundhog that he did a good 20 years...

    She loves me ... ???

    Every day I go out to the run to hang out with the girls for a few and “lay eyes on them” to make sure all is well. This sweetie is Frack - who used to be a big PITA - not friendly, super super flighty ... but recently, she’ll come sit next to me and make these sweet little cooing noises. So we...

    Are they mad or ...???

    So, every day when I go out to scoop poop, I get “yelled at.” (They squawk incessantly!) Any idea why? Are they happy I’m freshening things up or angry that I am “stealing” their poop? The hubby and I are convinced that they play “chicken games” and see who can make the highest pile of poop...

    Extra large jumbo eggs

    One of our chickens lays MASSIVE eggs. (The gray one - we believe she’s a Sapphire Gem.) Her biggest had been 90 grams. (For reference, store bought “jumbo” eggs go around 71 grams, I believe.) But today ... NINETY ONE GRAMS!!! 😳 I’m starting to think that she’s going to need some ice for her...

    Swollen eye ... not herself

    Might anyone have any insight (ha!) on her eye? Her right one is swollen and the second I pick her up, she closes it altogether. She’s acting fine otherwise, no discharge of any kind. There looks like there is a boo boo above it - maybe from someone else putting her in her place? Is there...

    The CHICKIE PEEP Squeal

    So, have you “trained” your girls to come when called? I’ve “trained” mine from like Day 3 that when I yell CHICKIE PEEPS, I have grapes. (Which is like chicken crack for these girls!) And they come running! Usually, lol. (However, if there’s a juicy bug or something else going on, forget it!)...

    The Money Shot (“Never Trust A Fart”)

    The other day, we let the girls out to roam around the yard for a bit. Frack looked so pretty, so regal, posing in the setting sun. I took a few pics because ya just never know which will be THE best. Well, suffice it to say, I absolutely think this one is! (Zoom in close behind her ... 💩😂. I...

    I hit the chicken lottery!!

    So, about a month ago, I spotted the coolest calico feather on the right wing of one of my golden comet babies. (Dip) I’ve been eyeballing the coop and run at least twice a day, hoping beyond hope that I’d find this feather when she molted. Yesterday morning, I saw that feather still in her...

    A Chicken Poem

    Back in January, we decided to take the plunge and finally start our chicken journey. While researching, for some reason, this popped into my head. I guess it’s not necessarily a poem, but a rewritten song to the tune of “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad.” (And it was after a LONG day at work...

    Good idea? Or bad idea?

    So, we have 6 chickies. They’re about 2 months old and are living their best lives out in the (I think) about 10x12 run. The hubby says that I’m obsessed with “these dumb chickens,” but at least I’m open and honest about it. (He’s a secret obsessive and loves to build things for them - perch...

    Frick (or is it Frack?) is Pranking Her “Sisters”

    So, I’m VERY new to this chicken thing. (I keep seeing it’s a habit, lol.) They’re mere weeks old. But a friend of mine who has had chickens for years told me to give them a red worm to see what happens. I went out digging and found a suitably small one for the babies. I tossed it in and the...

    I’m Already “One of Those”

    Hi, everyone! We are brand new to the world of chickens, but I am already “one of those” chicken owners, lol. (Taking a million pics, telling chickie stories, wondering which bugs they’ll like the best...!) We got 6 baby egg layers from Tractor Supply on May 21 - besides being girls (we hope)...
