What did you do with your flock today?

I was looking back at my pictures and noticed the one I showed yesterday with the field being empty….also shows one reason my chickens don’t free range. I would love for them to, but just can’t without loosing them. But I tried to give them a fairly good size run to make up for it. And I try to get them out when I am out there…not that it would stop it if they really want one but at least I could try.

I think your run looks huge. Nice of you guys to share so much of your real estate with them

Thank you I would have honestly loved to have made it bigger but when putting up the run we decided, well I decided, to get Brahmas soon. And we want the chickens somewhat close together. And they would want a good size run too.

Good morning!View attachment 3298481
Beautiful light warm rain this morning with a little bit of coolness in the air from the coldfront.
12 out of 16 chicks so far. Better go clean the brooder. Chooks are terrific ♡ time for coffee.

OMGeeze I wanna come there sooo badly! Just gorgeous!

I love watching summer leave.

Sorry I’ve been MIA, but this has been a very difficult week! The stomach bug has not gone away, but hasn’t been quite as painful and yesterday I was able to eat food. However today things feel less great and I am wishing I’d gone to the doctor instead of “waiting” for it to go away on its own.

To add to my misery…I had to rely on the kids to do chicken checks since moving around has been very difficult. And they didn’t pay enough attention to Honey and if she needed extra help and I found her dead and covered in ants yesterday morning. My sweet special heart eyed blind girl needed me and I was too sick to be there for her She was so special and beautiful and I will miss her so much.

And on a more silly note—I went out to supervise chicken checks/chores tonight and got to watch the boys address who sleeps where and when…Nohope seems to have decided that he’d rather be with the bantams and sleep in a cramped coop for his size and stop harassing the other boys than being with the big kids where he can be top dog and sleep in a spacious coop…so for now, he gets his way. And as you can see…Bruno keeps him in line

They went to their new home already ☹. I originally hatched them for a gal who wanted 6, though I thought was going to be a flake- being slow to respond to text and replied with single lines. I did not really want to sell to her. I gave her a heads up b4 they hatched and after they hatched. Waited 10 minutes then called another gal who wanted 2 for her daughters b-day and came right over after her daughters soccer practice. The REALLY, REALLY cool thing is she brought her dh who had volunteered at our house when we were just building our foundation. Great family ♡ and they wanted them all. The chicks became my way to thank him for his selfless help. A little karmatic balance. ♡♡♡
