    Chicken math

    I'm learning chicken math! I have 5 laying hens,but one skips a day sometimes. So I actually only have 4. You can't get just one chicken because that's sad, and it takes 2 chicks to make 1 hen, right? So I got 2 chicks, but I have to feed them, so it's like I never got them. So I had to get 2...

    Chicken math

    For the record, I think Chicken Math should be a pinned post...I had no warning! I just love the chickens. Gathering the eggs, chatting up the ladies, doing silly things like watering my straw bales to make sure there are bugs under them for the chickens to snack on later...it's one of my...

    What do YOU use to collect your eggs?

    I only have 5 hens, so after I bring my eggs into the house, they go in a hanging basket. Once I have a dozen, they go into the fridge in my acrylic cartons. If I have extras, they sell (sometimes TOO fast!) but the buyer provides their own container.

    What do YOU use to collect your eggs?

    In all honesty, I think I only remember it because it was just such an unexpected and thoughtful gift. I don't want it to go to waste!

    What do YOU use to collect your eggs?

    My hubby's awesome aunt saw an egg-gathering apron on https://shop.magnoliamarket.com, and she so sweetly thought of me! She sent it to me "just because," and I love it. I'm always doing something when I go out to gather eggs - cleaning, feeding, watering, turning over a straw bale so the girls...

    A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

    Best of luck, Ralphie, I hope you get the sucker. The ranch where I keep my horse lost their only Tom to coyotes. Fortunately, he gave them 8 babies, and was a great dad until he lost his battle. I had no idea how paternal turkeys could be! He taught them all how to fly up to the top rail above...

    Looks like one of my little girls might be a little guy. I don't see any red in the comb (which is nearly non-existent) or wattle, but these look like the start of saddle feathers:

    Re-intro

    My first intro was pretty brief, and I'm sad to report that I lost all of those first chicks to my dog, who hasn't been raised around chickens and had no idea that those weren't boxed up in that handy coop just for him. So, I thought I would try again. I am raising chickens for the first time...
