Silly girl!

Right now I am watching 5 of the kiddos (Mr P included) nesting and laying eggs !

I have some videos I will post.

Snowy day here, the chickens were hiding/ scratching around in their coop when i checked on them. I am waiting a bit to head to work, supposed to start warming up around 10am. Currently at 33° perfect nasty slidey slush temp.

The snowbacked chicken has gone into hiding.....so has the remains of breakfast

Wonderful! I will be looking for some baby photos!

Awesome! I look forward to hopefully seeing some geegee (horse) photos!


Hmmmm - yes you are correct I will need taller boxes to accommodate those Bielefelder and Brahma ladies when they get big.


Good idea. I can put steps up to the shelf on the long wall where the door is (sort of like I have already). And put a divider along that long span - of course you do know that someone will want to roost on that divider hahaha!

I was so excited to meet new horses that I got no pictures once I read the rest of what I have missed though, I have a funny story about what happened when I was there!

Who is that in that nest box?

Looks like Mr P wanted Dorothy to try out the nest he made! He is very interested in what is going on in there!

And now Sophia wants to join the 2 girls already in the other nest box...

They do both have green legs, which is something I didn’t even really knew was possible until recently, and which I love, but it is possible that Babs’ are more green.
Eli saved some of the green for her feathers.

This is the kind of photo you get when you are trying to look for poop and feed treats at the same time. But at least I captured some of her beautiful feathers!

Wait... did you steal Willow from me? She looks just like that!! I wonder if she is part EE and part Golden Laced Wyandotte? (GLW) Hmm. Mystery... for now, I want my pullet back! Oh! I think that Willow is going to lay her first egg any day now! She is growing, and is getting heavy!

Oh I am going to have to pretend to have my head buried in the sand for a bit. The worst enabler, the one that lives with me grandma. Just informed me that she thought it was time I fill up that incubator. I could do it, I could fill every slot in that 42 egg turner with eggs less then 5 days old now that I'm averaging almost a dozen a day. Repeat after me everyone, DO NOT DO IT, DO NOT DO IT.
