It's been a few years since I've had chickens. I have a surprise box from Cackle Hatchery coming tomorrow or Saturday.

This afternoon I was enjoying a cup of coffee, watching my chickens devour their head of cabbage. After eating 3/4 of it they got their bellies full and started wandering around the run. A few were lying around, Johnny Mack was doing his little dance and mating with a few of the girls. It was...

My beautiful babies.

Currently it is 93 with a heat index of 107. My 11 week olds have been making a lot of noise because they didn't get theit lunch time grazing period. So I figured, why not? They are regretting their decision. Only 3 of 17 came out and they stayed very close to the coop.

My chick's will be 8 week old tomorrow. Every afternoon I let them out to free range. I also have a boxer almost 7 months old. For the past week they have enjoyed the yard together. Well this afternoon my dog was lying in the grass and two of the chick's snuck up on him and pecked him right on...

I've wanted chickens for a long while. I bought my chickens before I knew about the sick chickens getting culled in factories. I just wanted the joys of chickens in my yard. Well my girls will be laying around October, I hope. Every time I run out of eggs I just think, soon I won't have this...
