AAAHHHH! So, I just had a baby and started back at work. So hubby has taken over more responsibility with the girls. Well...I am home this week due to an injury so I am taking over the morning routine again. Letting them out, giving then food and water, etc. Well....i go to check the food and it...
It's been to long! I recently added a baby to our family (the human kind). Now one of my hens is broody! Our chicken acquaintance who I nicknamed my "chicken dealer" is giving us some fertile eggs tomorrow to give her. My question as s first time chicken mom is do I let her be broody in the...
Hope everyone survived the crazy snow ok!
My girls are happy to finally get out of the coop and free range!

Nibbles finally used the nesting box!!!!! I was soooo excited!!!! so far she is laying 4 eggs a week. I think that is pretty good. I dont actually know how many her breed is supposed to lay. Never looked it up. She is an Orpington/Wynadotte mix.

One of our girls surprised us this afternoon! I went to take a shower and when I looked outside there wasn't anything and when I came back out dressed I told my husband I was gonna go give them some scratch since they were not free ranging and I noticed what looked like an egg in the run. I told...
