That is the best; what awesome memories you're creating with your kids! And I hear ya, it's hard to motivate yourself in this cold. 🥶

I'm sorry; that is no fun.

Yes I did see lots of pin feathers coming in, I'll keep an eye on her! And get the blu-kote

Ok here is Caramel in all her greatness and you can see that she is missing feathers in her tail. I've noticed for a while that her tail was missing a few feathers, and assumed it was another chicken. I thought that was normal to a certain extent. Is there something I can do so she doesn't get...

Perfect, thank you!

No roos 12 total pullets; about 7 of those currently laying I don't know about mites ( I've been adding sulfur to their dust bath but it did get grass in it a few weeks ago so they haven't been using it lately-also not sure how much sulfur to add🤷.) I have 2 polish and this one is definitely at...

I haven't been on in a while... Happy fall y'all!! I have a few questions, I have a 6.5 month Easter egger that has laid one blue egg- but she laid it a month ago and hasn't laid again. She is acting fine, does that happen sometimes? Also I have a Gold laced polish that is getting picked on. I...

That is sooo tempting but my husband would kill me... I can't do it right now, buuut I want to... :D

Why can't they be content??? Sometimes I think they are meant to drive us crazy :)

thank you so much! I'm going to the store now!

I'm really wanting to try the lime preservation method, once we start having extra eggs... We've got 12 chickens; bought as day old chicks this spring. So far we have 3 laying eggs-they just started in the last few weeks! :love Our Buff Orpington (Goldie) was the first, then the Light Brahma...

I've been meaning to ask you, what is the recipe for canning your pickles? I've never canned before but we LOVE pickles and I want to try with all the cucumbers from our garden. We like dill pickles, not the sweet ones. I've been looking for recipes but I don't want to commit the time to make...

I forgot to say we started getting eggs this week! Our buff Orpington is the first to start laying 😁 they're tiny eggs (compared to the grocery store eggs I'm used to) but perfect:love! The first time she was getting ready to lay we heard her clucking like a fiend and my son and I raced outside...

Don't feel guilty! You asked, they agreed! She'll survive and learn from the experience! 😊 Have so much fun!!!

I am hoping to can my cucumbers for the first time this year! That sounds so yummy!

Such a shame; I found a discussion about it. Of course, this was the chicken I paid the most for, bc she's a trendy color. :idunno https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/lavender-wyandottes-frayed-tails.1137376/page-2

We were outside all day Friday and my boys had bites all over themselves :( My mom told me as a kid to paint the bites with clear nail polish to suffocate them ( now I'm curious if that actually works). We called them chiggers; I didn't realize they're actually mites... Also, my peas are done...

That is so interesting; I'll have to look more into it.

So this is a 3 month old lav Orpington and it looks like she has a crazy cowlick-her feather pattern is just messy. And some of her feathers always look patchy, ruffled and curled. Is this normal? My buff Orpington looks perfect, every feather in just the right place. This one always looks like...

I'm expanding my coop (chicken math!) and decided to move the laybox from outside access to inside bc now my coop will be a walk in. I was literally on my way to Walmart to buy a tote to convert into a nestbox and drove by someone throwing out their old kitchen cabinets. So I took an upper and...
