Yeah, well she's going to stay in her broody breaker all day. Maybe this cool weather will help. :fl
My family irritates me and it's just myself and my husband. :gig The vanilla cocoa sounds devine. Hope you are able to get back to making soap when you can.
@pipdzipdnreadytogo - I was just going through old posts trying to remember which of my hens had prolapsed since I was answering a question for someone else. And, I found your soap posts. Are you still doing that?
Forgot to mention, I took her out of her broody breaker to go out in the yard with her pals while I was cleaning. I saw her go into one of the nest boxes and thought maybe she is laying an egg, because oddly, I've gotten an egg from her just the other day. Well of course she has the broody...
I just love all of this. ❤️
He eats. I make sure to scatter feed in the run so that there are options. But, also, he has access to the whole run. He goes to the duck side often too. They let him eat there.
If I could figure out how to utilize the upper area of the run for him, I would. Just...
I just can't believe it. Well 2 things - Lemon, my bantam cochin, is broody again this season! :thSo, I collected eggs and took her out of the nest box. I closed that one so if anyone else lays today they will have to choose a different area.
2nd - I just looked at my chicken cam to make sure...
Oh my. That is such a wonderful story. I'm so glad you found her. ❤️
Can't wait to see Daphne's chicks. 🥰
Yesterday I just made the Silkie girl stay in her dog crate. I had no energy to redo anything. But, today I went downstairs and found an old tablecloth that would work perfectly to cover...
Just went out and my silkie mix was out of her penned area (because I didn't afix a top to three panels of an old prefab run [makeshift pen]. I just set some feed bags and scrap hardware cloth on top). She figured a way out through the top. :th
She's giving me Maizie vibes. Maizie was my EE...
Funny. I tell my oegb rooster that I could eat him in 2 bites when he nips at me. Sometimes he's too big for his britches depending on his mood. But, most times he behaves, so I let him live another day. :lau
Maybe it just takes awhile to establish yourself as an egg and meat source? A lady nearby has a fb page for eggs, produce, chickens etc. She's got it set up for roadside service for eggs and produce on the honor system. Then, during the fall she will offer produce boxes and meat boxes either...
I did a thing. :oops:
So, while waiting for the oegb guy to get back to me from the Craigslist email, I found some silkie satin mix pullets. I reached out since it was local and the poster got back to me before the oegb guy did.
She had 2 posted a black one and a white one. Now, I have been...
