YO GEORGIANS! :)

Oohlala that is so absolutely darling! I have the imagination but my neuromuscular disease stops me from being productive, it sucks for me

I have the determination because I tried to build my own chicken tractor....got the a frame up and I had to stop bec I could no longer move my arms! My DH is NOT a handyman....the tractor frame got torn apart by my puppy.
Sorry to hear about your illness and the limitations. My DH could help, but does not see what I see in my minds eye and has very little patience with such things. He came down to my shop in the basement today and said well I've entered the work zone I see lol. I have my Storybook coop in sections as I'm working on it down there so when I'm ready I can take it out to the place I want it and assemble the sections. I fought the weather big time while building my other coop.

Oh and yup y'all got it my hens keep all the herbs, vegetables, bugs and flowers that surround their coop neatly clipped from their side of the run. I have way to many critters longing for chicken dinner to let them free range. They have a jungle gym of perches to flap up on inside and then their is their swinging cabbage ball to play with and eat in a few hours lol. When I go in for a visit I take a little collapsable stool I keep on an outside coop hook and sit a while with them. They hop up on my lap each trying to out do the other for my attention and any goodies I may have brought with me. They love to gather in the run and watch me play fetch with my three big dogs and when my tabby barn kitty sticks his nose in too close they like to show him who's in charge. (kinda serves him right for all the times he takes a flying leap and hangs sideways from the run wire just to scatter them)



Truly the statement of who needs cable when you have chickens and other animals is true true true :)

I have a hen who loves cars! She gets in any car with a door or window that's left open. One of my neighbors who came to visit and left his window down found an egg in his backseat when he got home. The UPS truck has had to return to our home after finding her in his truck!


Lmao!
"Ma'am, I have a delivery for you..."
*ten minutes later*
"Ma'am, I have a return for you..."

What I am waking up to, lately. And about that distance, too. A sick hen being kept indoors during her antibiotic treatments, sleeping on a folded towel on my night stand.

Who needs an alarm clock, when you can wake up to the beak-click of a preening hen at dawn?

That's how I feel in the summer when my windows are open, and I hear the roosters crowing before daylight. At least my boss never has to worry about me over sleeping. :lol:
 
Sitting on the edge of my seat, TRYING to resist the urge to candle these eggs. They are due in just two days. I've been keeping a close eye on them up until now, and I'm certain that everything in the original incubator is alive and ready to hatch (that's 35 eggs there, various breeds).
 
walked outside yesterday, and couldnt find a little ameraucana bantam hen of mine. i looked and looked, and thought i would check a little area where another bantam hen had a nest(they always relocate their nests when i remove their eggs) and i found her sitting on eggs, 11 to be exact. must have just started sitting this past weekend. debating on whether i want to take her eggs away and incubate or let her stay on them. i want to keep her with her rooster, and also put a black tailed white japanese bantam hen in there with them as well, and see what i get between the two.
