Look what I found this afternoon!! If only I knew who to give the extra treats to now...oh heck...I love them all so I'm off to get a bowl of mealworms for my lovely little snow birds!

Ack!! How do you keep your feeder from bridging? I'm using organic grower feed crumbles and if I don't shake the blasted thing every day the feed sticks and the chickens are hungry until I get there the next morning!! We have 8 inches of snow on the ground - it's in the 20's during the day and...

My Salmon Favorelle seems really slow to feather compared to my other chicks that are the same age. They are almost 3 weeks old and the Wyandottes have nearly all their wing feathers and are practicing flying all over the brooder. The Australorp is close behind with just a few more wing...

I was having trouble figuring out something that my chicks could use as a roost in the brooder - without going out and chopping up a tree.... Here are pictures of what my silly mind came up with! Once the chicks decided it wasn't going to eat them - they became rather attached to it! Enjoy...

Just had to share the exciting news that my 5 peeps arrived safe and sound via express mail today! I am a new mama to a buff orpington, silver-laced wyandotte, golden-laced wyandotte, australorp and salmon favorelle! All of the babies are doing well; only the Salmon is a tad 'dull' - she's...

I've been lurking all summer and am finally posting a great big 'HELLO' for everyone! I've found so much wonderful information here and am excitedly waiting for my babies to arrive sometime the week of September 8th! My husband and I have been working on our coop all summer and it's nearly...
