This is HILARIOUS!!!!!

So well thought out, too! Cats will do that, but I'm afraid to say that mine didn't have anything to do with the current 61-soon-to-be 67 (well, we didn't get those 2 Sebrights and 2 BB OEGBs, and their minimum is 6). Ugh!!!!!! It's an addiction!

Wow... What do you do with all the eggs? Just sell and eat them?

Sorry for disappearing suddenly without warning last night!

We basically give the eggs away to family and friends, and yes, we also consume a few ourselves. It was a tough job keeping up with supply last summer when we only had 28 laying hens, but now it's only going to get harder!

We literally got 2 or more dozen a day before they molted, and we had absolutely no room for anything. Whenever people came around, we would practically shove 5 cartons at them and say, "PLEASE take some!"

Chicks! I'm getting my hatching eggs sometime next week and I'm so excited to try to hatch out some of my "Wish List" breeds this year.


This is my tiny powerhouse, Sparta. She's the smallest chicken I have and is the only one that bosses the peacock around.


Odysseus and Ava'Dara actually being really chill with each other for a change! Odysseus is a bit of a tiny tyrant and Ava'Dara doesn't care to be bossed around by a dude.


ca-CAW! (not a chicken, sorry - I just liked this one)


Mercury and Memnoch are definitely my "babies" of my flock because they were the first two chicks I've ever hatched. About a month into being out of the brooder last year and into the main pen, my brother's dog tried to kill Mercury. Since then, she has been very flighty and didn't like being handled. She's made a lot of progress over the winter.


When he walks around like this, I call him Teddy Broservelt.
