    Red Seedless Grapes for new Flock

    Ok, my new flock arrived this morning and all is going pretty good! Set up water and feed dishes and gave them a little bit of scratch to make them feel welcomed. They're on the back side of the house and was shaded. But now its hot so I put up cardboard around the coop for shade and gave them...

    Grumpy old girl...

    I had two hens that I raised from chicks. To be honest, they were a little spoiled - neither of them really knew they were hens, they were part of the family. Sadly, one of them died last year at the age of 2. I know how socialble chickens are, so we didn't want one lonelt hen. We bought 2 hens...

    Bonding with New Hens

    I used to have 3, happy 4 year old hens all together (these are the chicks in my profile picture). However, two of my hens died recently due to an unknown illness and some nasty ruthless animal that got into the coop somehow. I've secured it up tight, but my last remaining chicken seemed lonely...
