I’ve been asked a couple times if backyard flock owners should be concerned about the avian influenza going around… The short answer is no, but the long answer is: “It all depends on the environment you’re raising your flock in.” Now, before I explain my answer, please understand I’m not a vet, nor am I …
Exciting news!!! We took the time to chat with Mya B. and her mom about her budding egg business. At 8 years old, this impressive young lady is quickly making a name for herself and her chickens. 1) Hi Mya! First of all, congratulations on getting featured in the October issue of Chickens Magazine! So, …
At some point in your flock’s life span, you will go through the heartbreak of loss… Here’s what to do when that happens: After recently discovering our rooster, Biff, had passed away while on the roost bar, I decided it would probably be helpful to many seasoned and new chicken owners to know what to …
Starbucks is now offering their infamous Pumpkin Spice Latte and Panera Bread has released my personal favorite of their fall menu – Autumn Squash Soup.

Rose & Blanche (Buff Orpingtons) If I had to choose a breed to suggest for first time flock owners, the Buff Orpington would be the one I would pick.

I don’t know why I struggle so much with writing these blog posts… I think it’s because I always believe I don’t have anything valuable to say, so if you were wondering why my posts are so sporadic, that’s why. 🙂 Unless y’all have been living under a rock, you know right now we are …
I don’t know if you have the same problem as us or not, but our chickens like to scrape out all the feed they’re not big fans of and dump it onto the ground, which is super frustrating for us poultry parents. This is why, when my husband and I happened upon these two very …

We first met Selena at the Prince Expo back in …
Oh the joys of poop… If you’re a chicken owner, you know that poop… is INEVITABLE. Chickens will poop ANYWHERE – in their water, feed bucket, ramp, nesting box, no surface is un-poopable. This past spring, my husband and I, along with my ever willing to assist parents, shoveled all of the chicken poop/sand mixture …
Hi ya’ll! So if any of you guys have ever planted oregano or any herbs in the mint family, you’re very aware of how they tend to dominate EVERYTHING.

On Wednesday morning we had to say goodbye to our sweet hen, Agent Carter.
