Well, I worked all day, but after work, I let the girls out to their free range area and encouraged them to help me mix garden soil. I’m mixing the native soil, which is somewhat clay-like, with the litter from their run, which is rice hulls, broken down leaves, broken down pine shavings, chicken poop (also broken down), and a little bit of grass clippings. When they loosen it up, I manually pull out the rocks and twigs. I’m mixing roughly 50/50 and hope the veggies like it. No photos today, unfortunately. But just for fun, here’s Dorothy on Sunday and the flock having towel time the week prior.

Hello! This is a place to post pictures/talk about what you and your flock have done today.

I was on a zoom call earlier and Iris, my rooster, decided to stand behind me and crow repeatedly. Thankfully I was on mute, but it was still annoying. They couldn’t see him, but they could see me trying to make him quiet, which was a little embarrassing.
Here’s a pic of my boy with some mini roses.

Today I started making a pen (all recycled materials except the chicken wire) on wheels so the girls can spend time outside safely unsupervised. (Lots of Turkey Vultures and Eagles in my area.)
I plan to move it often to give them new ground and grass or use it as a mating place for my Rooster once he matures.
(Iris was chilling in A nest box while I put down new wood shavings)

Today I sold 8 hens form my flock to make room for the Buckeyes that will be moving in in the fall. It felt great! But now I'm feeling the irresistible urge to buy more chickens! Help me!!!

Chickens are addicting!!

Iris is a 4 lb Longhair Chihuahua.
This is her sister, Nacho ( 6 1/2 lbs.) Iris got the looks in the family but Nacho got the brawn and the brains of the two siblings.

Prospective mothers meeting with the tribes here today. I'm not allowed to say broody. I've been told it's chickenist.
I'm not expecting an easy meeting. I'm badly outnumbered and my reasoning is suspect.
I'll let you know how they go.

I think it's used in salads.
