I never knew about pool noodle for bumblefoot

Over the years, Frank and I have added things to the coop to make it more tolerable in the summer for the chickens. I was worried when we added the greenhouse last year that it would block some of the chicken’s natural air flow but it has been fine and the coop is still the coolest place in the yard.

Mama P found herself a nice partly shady spot and settled in.

It’s about 6pm and still SA temp is 105 degrees.

My new girls - Mama P, Cinder, and Angel. I am already madly in love with them. I keep saying I am going to downsize but I can never resist a sweet mannered chicken. Thank you Shona for trusting me with your precious Tiny Dragons

Candy, the meat chicken that someone dumped in our yard, is soooooo big.

We are loving these Spring temperatures! The two girls are Lissa (Buff O) and Mel (RIR). I don’t have many big birds so they are very special. We got them at one of the booths at the Mother Earth Fair a couple years ago, I believe they said they came from HooverHatchery. I love them so much, they are healthy and lay almost every day. At the end of the video Puddin’ (Easter Egger) comes in- she just celebrated her 7th birthday in March and is still giving me 4 or 5 eggs a week.

Chickens bring us so much joy!

For those of you that are sad that San Antonio did not have a Coop Tour this year, The Peep at the Coop Tour in Dalllas is back on May 4th! This a really well-organized tour AND it is based out of an Elementary school that has one of the best (Probably best) gardens I have ever seen. When I get a chance, I will find pictures of past tours and post them in the comments so you can see what I mean. Love y'all!

Link for tickets and info

"A Peep at the Coops" is the largest fundraiser for Moss Haven Farm, a 501(c)(3) outdoor learning garden for students located at Moss Haven Elementary.

More of Lil Bogie’s Spring romantic encounters…. Bogie’s just over a pound but that doesn’t stop him from living on the big girls. This is Candy, the meat bird that apparently someone dumped in our yard, last time we weighed her, she was 12 lbs - Bogie tries his best but I doubt if we will see any Bogie babies from this match up.

Bogie’s main girl, Becall, is broody. So he is trying hard to woo Pixie.

Solar Eclipse 2024.
My chickens finally started heading to the coop when we hit totality but stopped when the sun started to peek through on the other side. They were like, you’re not fooling us!

I love having rooster in my flock except during spring. Grrrr, my little angels become crazy,hormone-filled monsters.

In case this is your first year with roosters- in the spring, these crazy hormones cause our boy’s toes and legs to turn red. So don’t panic when you see it. Love ❤️ y’all. Happy Spring. Grrr

Such pretty colors from natural dyes, especially when you use brown eggs.

Natural Easter Egg dyes!

Something fun to do with all those egg shells.

Super cute!

Well, Candi is still here She showed up in our yard a couple weeks ago. I posted her in our neighborhood groups but no one has claimed her. She is the sweetest girl. I know nothing about meat birds and just don’t know what to do. Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated.

Can’t think of a better way to end the day than a fire and Blanca on my lap.
