Guys! Just take a look at our Little Miss Carol! She just looks so good from when we first got her. She is still missing some tail feathers but the last few weeks I've just been in awe of her.

Fun fact about chickens is either they place energy into making eggs or feathers. When it's molting season, hens will usually stop laying to put their energy into making nice winter feathers.

CC is such a prolific layer that she never went through a molt. She just kept laying giant dino eggs. About a month ago was the first time she stopped laying allowing her body to give her some new locks.

Her feathers are full and now I keep confusing her for Wasabi.

Sitting outside, visiting the flock. Carol is annoyed. I didn't bring snacks!

It's been such a busy summer and with all the rain it seemed like every clear day was spent on yard work rather than enjoying our space. We finally got a full mow on the yard, complete with w**d wacking the first time this year (except the garden area 🫠). So now that it's the end of the season and our spring blooms are spent, 1st vegetable harvest complete and our planters have grown leggy, I thought it's the perfect time to share πŸ˜…

T***s is perfection!

Poor little nugget can't see through all that floof and gets lost a lot. We tried for a hair cut today but she won't sit still. Guess we will try again tonight.

We have 1 little baby Junco in my geranium hanging basket. I'm trying my best to keep the flowers and the birds happy. Mom and Dad Junco are not pleased with my antics. Junco's are socially monogamous, which means they mate with multiple partners but build a nest and raise chicks together. The female builds the nest while the male brings the materials. Mom incubated the eggs and Dad then will viciously defend the nest. When babies hatch, the female and the male become equal in their responsibilities, taking turns feeding their babies and defending the nest. These little guys may be one of my favorite back yard birds. #TheTaylorFamilyFarmette #hangingbaskets #geranium #junco #juncosinabasket #junconest #juncobirds #babyjunc #garden #gardenfriends

I guess Jax and Meatball don't understand what fire in the hole means? Well... glad to see they are in the spirit!

Well we rescue/adopted another street chicken. We are calling her Carol, Christmas Carol. She will be a resident of the Hen Hospital until her feather grow in and she clears all her health checks. Never in my life did I see a chicken turn down blueberries. Hopefully she will be up to eating the girls favorite snacks soon enough. Meet Carol and wish her a speedy recovery!

A hawk has been the bane of my existence today and Chili has a lot to say about it. #TheTaylorFamilyFarmette #TheBantyShanty #Chili #Rooster #roostersofinstagram #bantamrooster

Our Basil is a trooper. She's been dealing with wound cleanings 3 times a day. Today we had to remove some feathers that were in the way. We did a little pt today in the yard for 10 minutes and maybe we can try a bit longer tomorrow. Her wounds are pretty bad but her spirits are high! Keep the good vibes coming for my girls speedy recovery! #TheTaylorFamilyFarmette #TheGreatEggscape #Basil #BlackStar #chickensofinstagram #chicken #chickentherapy

Another day pool side for the girls! Chili has the right idea! He's saying come on in girls, the waters fine! ⛱️ #TheTaylorFamilyFarmette #chickens #chickensofinstagram #chickenpool #poolparty #summer #mealworms

Some of the girls helping me put some drainage around their coop. Last year I thought we picked the perfect spot for the littles Banty Shanty but we soon found out that the mountain run off goes right through their home. By spring it was wet, no grass from the foot traffic and smelly. Clean dry coops are essential for healthy chickens. So on my lunch breaks we dig a little. Should be done by fall 🀣 #TheTaylorFamilyFarmette #TheSpiceGirls #TheBantyShanty #chickensofinstagram #chickens #chickencoopsofinstagram #chickensareexpensive #petchickens #rockdrainage #happyhomesteading
