You had a N scale train set as a child, didn’t you?

You had a N scale train set as a child, didn’t you?

I didn't, but my cousin did and I wanted one.

I didn't, but my cousin did and I wanted one.

And I want an entire village to go with it...a chicken village.

The Buffalo gnats here are awful. I brought Hilda inside for a while. She was covered in them. See her under eye area? Those are blood spots from gnat bites.

The gnats especially love black chickens(and dark clothing too).
I put my black girls in a pen and applied permethrin powder. I turned on the coop fans too. I hope it helps them out.
Hattie & Hilda waiting their turns for the powder.

Ah!

You are very wise, Alex.

The hardest part of having a Rhode Island Red is trying to figure out what it wants!!
My Dakota is an amazing redhead, but she talks too much!

Not a good solution for my family. I use organic chicken feed, and it is somewhat hard to get around here. Can't have to many chickens.

We order a 1 ton tote from new country organics.

Yellow legs? I've seen buff rocks up here this year. A possibility. Straight comb?

“Buff Rock” would be interesting

I'm very far behind, so busy lately.
But we broke Morinth of her broodiness.
And then hubby said "well when we get the big run put in I won't be as worried about chicken math happening. We could get a couple more girls...a pompom chicken for kiddo...If you put a hard floor in the breaker you could make a broody baby jail"
