Cool, they sell those here too.. so what's funny, before i got the chickens i was looking for a large pretty corner type parrot cage that i could screen in and make into a terrarium/buttefly habitat to keep in my house! One of the listings described the cage as perfect for parrots, sugar gliders, or BANTAM CHICKENS!! And from there, my house chicken dreams came true ❤

The chicks' school visit is tommorow. I'm doing regular volunteering in the morning, then bringing the chicks in thr afternoon

The butterflies in my area LOVE zinnias if you can find any seeds!

Ugh, i accidentally dug some out and put them in the compost. I have a few plants that end up having dozens of them hanging off of.. here's some from this past fall

I just planted my squash plants and some marigold seeds. Need to clear out a corner for sunflower seeds

Buddleia is the best, aka Butterfly Bush. But it's a shrub so takes a while to grow. Easiest way is to find a bush nearby and take a few cuttings and pot them up. Free too!!
