Congrats on the sitting hen!

Love the burblies from the roosters! I'm considering getting one still, I think a polish or bantam boy would be nice to have. I'm very jealous of all the neighbor roosters crowing. We're adding another run to the current set up but I know the ladies would love to free range. Here's tax in the...

I dare say he's just taking a little break to himself! Bucket Boy is there to watch the hens for a few moments.

I'm glad Mow is getting her place sorted. She makes a great addition to the flock.

Goodbye Dig, maybe in different circumstances it might have worked out.

I see she's checking Henry's oil again...

Slightly off topic, but I'm doing a crochet frizzle chicken for a crochet-along in a group. I might have to alter the pattern a bit and make a cute lil skeksis-kin chicken ❤️❤️ In other news, I have a second broody. Of course she's the other silkie.

I love Mow so much. She seems like such a wonderful girl.

I suppose it's a form of cuddling for her. Very cute to see.

I see he's getting an undercarriage inspection again...

Today I met the sweetest Light Brahma rooster. He looked a lot like Henry. A girl had brought him to the farm store and was telling my toddler and I all about how amazing her roosters are and how this guy is her sweetest boy who just loves kids. All the while my toddler was gently stroking him...

My girls love leaves! I give them a pile every so often, I had hubby dump the leaf vaccuum bag in the woods near the run so I can easily grab a snow-shovel full

I wasn't around when Skeksis was, and she seemed like such a fun little bird. Here is Morinth, my broody. I get her off the nest three times a day, and she eats/drinks/scratches every time. She's such a sweet girl, never pecked me for checking her or taking the other girl's eggs. Maybe next...

They look so lively! Mow is especially cute. My dad and I are starting to talk about what we want to grow in our shared garden. My kid picked out some bunching onion seeds (toddlers are quite random, haha!) So we'll be growing those in a big pot so she can see them on the back porch. And one of...

They're all so lovely.

It's a fairly mild tea, really good for making "sun tea" which is a form of cold brewing in sunshine. That's how my mom makes her tea in the warm months. It doesn't have as much of the bitter tannins flavor. I haven't tasted many brands of tea, but it doesn't have any of the "dusty" flavor of...

Today is a good day for tea, @Ladies-Eight I grew up on an American brand called "red rose" which came with a little porcelain figure in each box. Sadly they have discontinued them unless you order from the website. My daughter loves my tin full of figurines, she calls them her treasures and...

Marans are soft like kittens in my opinion! My girl shep is the softest, cuddliest hen I've met. She puts my satin silkies to shame in fluff and how she feels to pet.

Henry is a fine old guy, and I also hope his son does him proud. He has his ladies, his children, and his bucket boy. I'd say that he's at peace.

That tracks with mine! 5 of my 6 are out stomping in the run most of the day. My one that has a crest poof stays inside the coop unless she wants the food or water in the run. But she tends to stay in the coop more often. Granted, mine are in an enclosed system so they only get snow on their...
