I love chickens! Look here for chicken related stuff, as well as other things that happen around "Angie's Acre".
Do you need help turning soil? Looking to dig up some big rocks but don't want to put in any effort? Get some chickens!! Lol. They love this spot under this one tree. Seriously looking nice and cleaned of any weeds. Dust bathing at the spa tree!
My goodest boy! Bartholomew, showing me where all the good treats are!
New level of crazy chicken lady!
I should probably put this little cochin chick to bed, but she's just so sweet. And too cute.

6 Booted Bantam, Porcelain D'uccle cockerels. Hatch date May 2, 2024 Great with children! Tiny little guys only get to be 26oz as adult Roosters. Would make a great "First Rooster" for anyone! They...
Thinking of starting a little project with my hen's eggs. I want to preserve and display an egg from each one, if I know which they laid. I could blow them out and dry them, maybe seal with modge podge? Then paint their name on the egg and display them. Or maybe just paint some dried out eggs for an egg tree? Idk. Seems like it could be a cool project.
Making a quick loaf of honey egg bread using cassava and almond flour. Looks beautiful! Can't wait to try it!

Mixed breed cockerel, Hatch Date 4/2/24 Apollo is a Black Tail Red Marans/Chantecler cross. He's simply stunning. Legs look to favor the Chantecler while the comb favors the Marans. He reminds me of...
Chickens make short work out of their apple treats. Adults don't need them cut up. Looking forward to watching them carve their own pumpkins!

Meet Franny and Cruella! 2 new Polish pullets. (I need white egg layers, and these gals are not only adorable and entertaining, they lay white eggs! I love the way a white egg makes the colorful eggs pop!)
I have too many roosters. Anyone need a rooster? I've got plenty!
Oreo! The barred cochin chick that Sammi claimed as hers.
Look how big they're all getting!!
Bartholomew. My favorite rooster. (For the moment)
Split this batch up from 2 groups into 3. Growing fast! Barred Cochin and black tail red marans. About 21 days old now.
Venus is almost always near me since her incident with the bucket. Her choice. She's gonna outgrow my shoulder, though.
Poland tolerated this for about 5 minutes. I was surprised Venus even got far enough to settle in at all.
This batch of Rhode Island Red chicks are probably the heaviest I've ever had... fat little things, in their ugly feather stage. They're very sweet! But man are they ever solid little birds...
This mischievous little baby got herself trapped under a bucket somehow, and my amazing husband miraculously found her before it was too late. (I had given up the search, I thought a dog ate her) Kept her hydrated all night and she's feeling much better now, if not a bit more wary of the world around her. (I also apologized to the dogs for accusing them.)
Phoebe is always sneak cuddling on the cats
😆😆😆🐔🥚🥚🥚
I got a bushel of chicks! (They're hitching a ride from the daycare pen back inside to their brooder for the night. They aren't quite ready to be out with the others in the high schoolers pen)
Something about when they come running when I call just warms me up inside.
Getting so bigger!

Trying to preen herself after her bath and blowdry. Pretty Phoebe!
My chickens have been laying eggs in the hardest to access area of their whole compound. Either they've gotten lazy...or they're sick of sharing. Hahaha! #angiesacre2024 #angiesacre
Breakfast time for Phoebe! My 6 week old crossbeak pullet.
It's taking a "dust bath" in my pile of laundry. Specifically, my robe. It's the cutest, silliest thing! Maybe I should give them a bin to take their dust baths in.
Neat view of air bubbles inside a dropped egg that cracked. I peeled away a little more of the shell to get a better look at it. #angiesacre2024 #angiesacre
Volume on! Frog symphony at the pond by work.
1st of the Olive Eggers, and 1st in the other unit! (Chick #8) #angiesacre #angiesacre2024
#3 hatching!!
Brand new chick babies! 20 days of incubation. Welsummer/Chanteclear mixes. #angiesacre2024 #angiesacre #babychick
A day from "lockdown" and a couple are starting to move! This wasn't even the one I was trying to catch on video! Sneaky! Day 17!! #angiesacre #angiesacre2024 #fyp #incubationday17
Phoebe was looking rough around the edges, so, I gave her a bath. She ended up enjoying it very much. #angiesacre #angiesacre2024 #crossbeak
Cracking 3 different eggs, to demonstrate that there's no real difference on the inside. The shell is simply art. I had to speed it up or make 2 parts. I sped it up. Watch! Let me know what you think, and if you want to see more egg demos, from my hens. #scrambledeggs #marans #greenegger #easteregger #crackingeggs #angiesacre #angiesacre2024
In this video, I crack 3 eggs, from 3 separate hens, to demonstrate that there is no difference on the inside of the egg. So, if someone gives you a rainbow dozen, or a dozen blue or brown or white or pink with purple spots... they taste the same! (The latter is an actual egg I get, it changes color when I wash the bloom off... but that's a video for another time.) #angiesacre #angiesacre2024 #eggcolors #maransegg #eastereggeregg #greeneggeregg #crackingeggs
This is Phoebe. She has a cross beak. A fluke that nobody seems to agree has a single cause. Undoubtedly, it started as she developed in the shell. Whether it was shell position, incubator conditions, or genetics, there isn't anything that can be done to fix it, or stop it. It's been gradually getting worse over her 2 weeks of life. Together, we've found a good texture of food for her to eat. It's best as a slurry, made of chick crumble, warm water and in the evening, egg yolk-though she will attempt to eat anything. She gets excited when she she's me get her special dish. It wobbles so she can position it just right. For a while, half of it would tip out. Then I put another dish under it... cuz...duh. now it's not so messy. She does still "fling" a lot of it, hence the spatter on the cardboard. But. She's eating. Her crop is getting nice and full during her special feeding seasons away from her clutch mates. I think she'll be ok. (Ignore the mess. It's been a learning process for both of us) #angiesacre2024 #angiesacre #crossbeak #crossbeakchick
