Brought the girls some corn to snack on and I’m thankful to only see a tiny bit of snow in their run…looks like all the winterizing we did paid off! They are dry and warm!  ❄️

With the expected snow/ice tonight, along with some of the older girls going through a hard molt, it’s important that the girls get the extra calcium, protein and nutrients they need so their bodies don’t pull these things from their bones and put stress on their organs. In the mix today…eggs (the best protein source) egg shells (calcium) chia seeds (omegas) fresh parsley & carrots!

Opal teaching her girls the importance of a proper dust bath!

Opal, our Mottled Orpington went broody a few weeks ago and no matter what enticing treats we offered she would not give up her next box...so now she’s officially a momma, and what a wonderful momma she is!

Spent this week enlarging the girls run area...they are living their best life...💛🧡💛

Multitasking chicken daddy...chicken holding while predator proofing the girls new run extension.

03/20/2021

Yes! So much care is needed...way more than you think!!! 😳

Please don’t buy a cute little chick or rabbit as an Easter gift. Buy a toy or candy instead. They can’t live on their own in the wild. If you’re not planning on keeping an animal it’s entire life, don’t get it. Rabbits can easily live ten years. They need vet care and a loving home. Chickens are messy and need predator proof housing. Chocolate is so much better!

I’m guessing the other 3 empty nesting boxes just wouldn’t do...🤔🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

The girls love them some greens! 🥬

Blue/green eggs even. So, oviraptors were basically Easter Eggers?! 🤔

An international team of scientists has announced the discovery of an extraordinary fossilized nest in China, preserving at least eight separate dinosaurs from 70 million years ago.

These beauties are filling 3 families bellies tonight!

A few days ago Duchess (aka “Boss Chick”) started to sneeze/cough after we had a freak snow storm, we immediately separated her from the flock in case she had developed something contagious, she has been inside with us the past 3 days and has made a big improvement (not enough I feel to move her outside just yet). Today while checking on the flock we noticed her sister Juliet wasn’t looking so great...her comb was dull, she was walking around very slowly and almost looked lost. 😢 We had the back door cracked and she heard her sister Duchess inside, she immediately lifted her head and ran towards the back door...poor Juliet seemed to be really missing her sister. We decided to bring Juliet inside, gave her an epson salt bath and a blow dry then allowed her to join her sister...she almost immediately started perking up...her comb reddened and she was just talking away to Duchess. She was so happy to have her sister back! 💞 We set them both up in a tent of their very own, hopefully they will help each other recover quicker being together! It’s truly amazing to see the emotional capabilities of these animals, truly amazing! They are currently sleeping side by side in their pink camouflage tent! 🥰 So thankful for my incredibly helpful little chicken momma .05 for helping me setup this girly chicken rehab tent!!!

So thankful we (really Matthew did all the work 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣) decided to insulate and winterize the coop and runs a few weeks ago...the girls were tucked in cozy and warm during our surprise snow last night!
