Oh now you got me started...I can't wait. And I thought the automatic door was fun!

So happy Maple survived, they become so dear to us!!!

hahahaha, no, OMG, too funny, and if I hadn't been dressed it would have been me. Just barefoot!

A fox came right into my yard Saturday morning, the hens were free ranging under supervision. I heard the ruckus and gave chase. The hen she'd grabbed was quite shook and sans some feathers but is okay. Fox came back this morning to see if it could breach the coop and they let me know. But what...

Despite being on my own, I have 10 hens and a 40'x 80' garden because I love both endeavors and having something great to share with friends and those in need feels good to me. That said, if I can't train them to recycle the cartons after one or two tries, I just don't share with them anymore...

Her name is Marlena. The others are Audrey, Sophia, Marilyn, Mae West, Raquel and Natalie, who turned out to be a rooster, so I named him Handsome, because he is so. I had company last week, and Marlena was not hesitant in the least to do her thing. They were amazed! So fun.

I'm new to adding chickens to my family and can't believe I didn't do it sooner. I selected 4 great layers and a couple of ornamental chickens, but this "ornamental" Golden Phoenix is my best layer and so unique. Every day she pecks on the sliding glass door (they free range during the day)...
