    Alicia’s Hen Den

    Hi! I started my flock May 2025 in suburban Missouri. I’m a Georgia girl currently trapped in the freezing weather. Send thoughts and prayers. I researched to the point of exhaustion. I love it! My ladies are spoiled, gorgeous and hilarious. For example, if my Buff Orpington Buffy pecks...

    That sucks so much. I’m glad you caught it before it went too far.

    How did your flock annoy you today?

    Sigh. I’ll try to be more patient. 😂 She was making sounds that sounded like an egg song back and forth with another one of the ladies over the weekend. I think that what got me riled up again.

    I’m reactivating this. That d*mn EE born in May still hasn’t lain a single egg. For that matter I’m not sure how many of these heifers are laying eggs since the days are short.

    Deep Litter Issues

    I had more sand but pulled it out when putting in the hemp. I’m wondering if the hemp is better than I expected. Of course that would cause me anxiety. 😂 I’m ridiculously vigilant about my babies. And I want to get this right. They deserve the best life I can reasonably provide.

    Deep Litter Issues

    I was really hesitant to use pine shavings. I went with hemp because of all the good things I heard during my research. So far I’m not noticing any moisture accumulation. Which is great but that what’s also making me worry. I’ll keep going as I am. I’ll just add more hemp at least 1x per month...

    Deep Litter Issues

    There’s at least 2-3 inches of sand. I have 4 inches of hemp on top.

    Deep Litter Issues

    I hand sand in the run and the coop. It was a pain. I ended switching to hemp in the coop and wood chips and hemp in the run. Now here’s where the issue comes in. I didn’t remove all the sand from the coop. My research said I don’t need to. Now it’s at least 2-3 months later and the original...

    Southern Black Lady Theme: Nubia, Simone, Wanda, Gwanda, Viola, Nubia, Buffy, Peaches and Fanny Lou. I’m far from home and wanted something familiar.

    Do this isn’t an annoyance thing. This is an amazement happy thing. So sweet Buffy who swore off people after the tail incident let my friend’s daughter pick her up! It’s the first time since May/June/July that she’s willingly let anyone pick her up. I’m so happy. I hope this is the sign of a...

    How did your flock annoy you today?

    Nice to know. One hen, Nubia an Australorp , in particular let’s us pick her up freely. She’s never seen fighting. Honestly she just breezes around the yard. I think she’s the head hen. Seriously no one challenges her. I think #2 is our Brahma Sweet Baby. She is seen bothering other chickens not...

    My Salmon Faverolle and youngest 2 EE persist in behaving as if I’m going to eat them. As usual I remind them that it would be too much work for too little meat. 😂

    How did your flock annoy you today?

    Exactly. Then they get darker then start the lightening process over. I’ll do a better job of taking pics for comparison because not only do her eggs vary like that but also all the eggs from various hens seem to lighten after sitting on the counter for a few days. I think I need more sleep. 🥴🥴🥴

    How did your flock annoy you today?

    I know at that the last 2 are ones I pulled from the under same hen. I’m fairly sure about 1 other but sigh I’m clueless overall.

    How did your flock annoy you today?

    Right. They’re darker when I collect them. Then they get lighter as time passes.

    So blue egg layers can start out brown then change?

    How did your flock annoy you today?

    What’s up with the eggs getting lighter as the days progress? Is it the bloom?
