Thank you... much better

Today is a sucky day! I found two of my babies had made their way to the pool and drowned! I need some chocolate.

Where is Brie? It is too quiet... I miss her posts

These are my babies. The two little ones spent the night under mom, but were left behind when mom left the coop this morning. They are a still a bit wobbly. So its back to the mohair scarf and the lamp for another day. So its seven babies altogether!

My lavender pekins have hatched I got five. My hen, Bella left the nest two days ago and left behind three eggs. i candled them the one was a dud the other two looked fine. so i popped them under my other bantam that is brooding. The one egg hatched early this morning but when i went to check...

I agree. Since my eldest daughter started going through puberty she gets so worn out easily. We only do one extra mural activity at a time now. To all the over competitve moms out there ...I dont care my daughter has nothing to prove. She is happy and now has a balanced life...even kids need...

Over the past two years keeping chickens we have had many babies. We don't incubate our eggs. I put them under clucky my good ol faithful broody silkie hen. She will brood anything. Watching the little ones interact, ive noticed something. There is always one chick that is the cheekiest, the...

Rescuing hens is addictive. I once paid too much for a tiny old bantam hen locked up with an enormous rapist rooster. Her legs were so badly infected with crusty leg mites. Logic said no my heart said yes

Very sad. No eggs for breakfast this morning! Played with the moles instead.

DIY done and coops are sorted! Hubby was quite helpful and did it for me as soon as he got home. Ill change bedding tomorrow and make it real nice and cozy!!

That is a brilliant idea....so simple! then maybe the hens start laying in their coop. at the moment they are nesting under bushes, on the compost heap and in my plant pots. Someone told me other other day once a dog tastes egg, you've had it they wont stop. So this is a plan... when my hubby...

She normally eats them too! I just busted her at the right moment! My husband calls her his chicken contraceptive device. But seriously it is a problem I have to take eggs and then give them back when hen turns broody. Every now and then a smart hen (usually) a silkie outfoxes the dog and finds...

It happened before..... I caught the dog with an egg...shouted at the dog and then put the egg back......when the egg hatched i wondered if the egg might have come from somewhere else. A white mommy with a pitch black chick certainly raises a few questions. Well the next clutch have arrived...

i have so enjoyed reading the content of this site! Can anybody please explain why my gorgeous lavender pekin rooster and my white silkie hen have had black chicks? I'm shocked!!
