I had a broody chicken, 1 yr old, who kep hopping the fence to hide a clutch. I eventually found her cluch not far from my hose near the house. The eggs smelled horrible and I tossed and buried them. One popped open, white and curdled nastiness. A few days later we found her dead outside the run...

She gets testy if I dont give her a cuddle. Her buddy follows us around like she is worried I will take her away.

It's mostly slugs and lil frogs and toads. The chicks go nuts for the frogs. Kinda gross to see them beat them to an edible juice. :sick:pop Fun to watch them chase and look for them in weeds

I have seen ducks destructing a garden first hand. I figure I wont be using the whole pasture right away. Anyone tractor ducks w chickens?

Where did you get them from?

My cats get a few bites but after the first few times, the fascination wore off.

I will take a picture tmrw of the gorgeous black gold I dug out of it.

The babies were ordered as all pullets. They are 13 weeks. I have been looking for cockerel signs just in case but have not observed any differences in feathering, height, comb etc. I never expected to have so many. My dad originally wanted 8-10 of this batch so I can definately part w a few...

This is what the little munchkins look like. The minty green eggs are from the EE who looks just like them (when she had her saddle feathers). She is a fav of our roosters. I have been told my roosters have a high chance of producing blue and or olive eggers. But one is rough and stressing me...

We just got started with this. I hope more pitch in

I would say yes. I have 4 I would say are not as bold. I think I am going to spend a bit more time observing this week. And take the top few and add to the other flock. Having the flock separated is so much extra work. I plan on building a chicken barn in spring. But I am guessing it will need...

New avatar today because miss Zip hopped up on my shoulder to see what I was building for her. Amazing little chicken personality.
