11 today and they all made it safely into the house. :)

There were 9, and then I stumbled on the steps on the way back to the house and lost the whole basketful and gained 2 skinned knees. :th

11 today. :)

10 today. :) I've mentioned the luffa before - this is what they look like now. These were the first ones and they are destined for sponge-hood as they are too high for my short self to get to them without a ladder. There are ones that are lower that will be made into soup or stir fry. Gourds...

Thank you.

I've been away for a while. The ladies have been generous and grace us with 10 to 11 eggs a day since I last checked in. We had 10 today. We lost Kitty, our Barred Rock today. Not sure as what got her as she was pretty vigorous and was underfoot the entire time I was in the garden yesterday...

10 yesterday and today. The luffa has flowered and I already spied a tiny gourd. The base of the vines remain naked, however. :D

11 today. :)

12 :). All my ladies decided to contribute today. The bok choi bribes are paying off.

11 today. I found that one of the squash had blossom end rot so the chickens enjoyed a bonus snack.

Let me see... 10 Wednesday, and 11 on Thursday, Friday as well as today. The light sprinkling of rain we've been getting has been keeping the underbrush damp and very likely full of hidden treats.

That was the box that my friend brought them in so I wasn't paying attention and only noticed the half-naked pictures in the background after I posted it. I changed it to puppy pads when we got home. I didn't have time to run and get pine shavings this evening. I do have quite a bit of coffee...

10 yesterday and 12 today. Today's was spread over 4 different nesting boxes - a new record! In other news, a friend's Golden Comet went broody last month and since she didn't have any roos, she went to the local flock swap and picked up 16 (!) eggs, 14 of which hatched. Since chicken math says...

I have to play catch up again. Friday was 11 eggs, 10 Saturday and 11 today. Hubby was on egg collection duty those days. We had broken eggs Friday and Saturday so he said "do you think we have any vandals?" And proceeded to drop one of the eggs himself today. 😏 It was a pretty weekend all...

She goes mainly as 'Friend' now. :p 11 today but one was broken in the nest so 10.

11 again today. Hubby went to the coop ahead of me to change the water and decided that today would be the day everyone gets outside time. I was therefore pleasantly surprised to find them out and about pecking happily in the yard. I wasn't worried about the garden as we have raised beds and...

11 today. I decided to keep the coop door open since Empress keeps escaping anyway. 2 of her friends decided to join in on the fun but come time to dispense cabbage they decided that the great outdoors wasn't as attractive. I'm glad they did as it started sprinkling shortly thereafter. :)

10 today with one being a fairy egg. This is the 1st one since the ladies started laying. I suppose I should just take it in stride unless it's a regular thing? I've no idea whose it is though. I decided to spray with neem oil since the salad bar for chickens is not an option and there were...

It might be a bit difficult given your growing zone. It's a tropical/subtropical vine and I looked it up and it says that it's zone 5 or higher. It takes about 4 to 6 months to grow and mature.

11 today. It's going to be corned beef hash with fried eggs for supper. :) The Empress made a break for it again and decided that she would rather graze than scramble for mealworms with the rest of the ladies. If I could I'd set her loose in the bok choi patch as something has been chewing...
