I know the feeling. Crazy how we can get excited aboutJellybeans had a nice cecal poop on the board and that made me VERY happy. It seriously did lol![]()
I actually have an entire coop that no one will use at night to sleep in—but they all use it to lay eggs! And even go broody. Silly birds!My girls are so silly. I think they like having a huge community nesting box, as in the floor of the temp coop, which is about 3 x 3. There were a bunch of eggs there in a big depression they had made in the shavings, right in the middle. Never consistent. They have a head start on the Easter egg hunt.
Oh my god! I'm so sorry about Ms MuddiHahaha chickens are the worst garden destroyers
Glad you had some nice days but I’m sorry that your contractors are so terrible! Your problems are exactly why I stress out about hiring anyone to do anything hahaha. Such a huge pain!
Well, I don’t have any flooding where I am…but all the rain caused a tragedy that I’m very upset with myself over. I came home from my therapy appointment on Wednesday night and Aria was sobbing and holding my rooster bobtail Cochin…and they told me they found his girlfriend Ms Muddi dead in her nest boxI’m just devastated and mad at myself and so very heartbroken

I cleaned out the coop and wet bedding in the run and found bloody poops
So I treated their water with Corid and desperately collected her eggs and put them in the incubator in hopes they might be fertile. I just adored her
I feel like such a terrible chicken mom. I just wanted to wait out all the rain before trying to refresh bedding but I should have powered thru it. Such a brutal lesson learned.
We’ve had two days of sun and get one more tomorrow before we get MORE rain. Several birds are sneezing, so everyone got some meds in their water and tomorrow we will be putting out fresh shavings to dry things out. The mud is out of control. So sadly, I’m in a bummed out mood and feeling bad. Other than that, I have been working on my chicken logo and plans for the Poultry Expo. I may mainly take quail and d’Anvers now since my bobtails won’t be producing anymore :-( And my bantam wheaten pullet hasn’t laid a single egg yet.
Plus she isn’t alone and I can’t guarantee purebreds! Blah! Chickening is such an emotional rollercoaster!
She's such a sweetheart!I'm having such a hard time guessing her age because of all the feather loss and damage. But Snookies cute anyway. Feathers are growing in!View attachment 3443777View attachment 3443780
They're good looking birds! Hope they're as sweet as Ms Muddi. Still got my fingers crossed for her eggs.Well I’m officially very dumb and hopeless. Someone posted a breeding pair of bobtails on our local Facebook page and I’m vulnerable and sad so I bought themPicking them up tomorrow. They’re even a similar age…not as perfect as Ms Muddi but I don’t care
They are truly the sweetest Cochins I’ve ever owned.

I put roosts in the runs during the summer and almost all the birds prefer to sleep there. In the summer I get the desire to catch every breeze. But you'd think in the winter they'd naturally seek the warmest roosts to sleep. Nope.I actually have an entire coop that no one will use at night to sleep in—but they all use it to lay eggs! And even go broody. Silly birds!![]()
