I have 34 Chickens. 29 Hens, 5 Roosters. And while I’d rather have only 2-3 roo’s it is okay. They seem to get along fairly well, there are no horrid cock-fights running amok. And at the end of the day they all go to roost happily together, 33 of them. The 34th, a small bantam…
I know, I know. I’ve read all the articles about how God gave the chickens feathers and they really don’t need any help from us humans once they are grown. I’ve become well acquainted with the opinion that states heating coops does much more harm than good. And heck, I agree. But when I see…
It’s raining, it’s pouring…..the Silkies are mourning! Their feathers are drenched, what a dreadful pinch, and they won’t be dry in the morning! Bless her heart, and we are supposed to get around 3 inches tomorrow. Thank goodness for a warm, dry home and a covered coop! Happy Friday all!
I have found chicken keeping to be therapeutic, relaxing, rewarding and fruitful. Except for those times I find it tragic, frantic, exasperating and somewhat pointless. I enjoyed a mix of these latter emotions over the weekend. Let’s start with pointless. While mowing the yard Rob found this nest under the propane tank. I have two…
There is a Chicken and a Child in the bathroom. Welcome to my Life.
Hi! Hello there! It is FRIDAY people! Cheer up! My chicken and I wish you an awesome weekend! xoxoxoxoxo ( I know this looks a lot like the photo in my ‘Meet the Flock’ post but is in fact, brand new. Apparently this is Chicken’s favorite new pose…) 😉

I’ve been wanting to introduce you to these girls forever! They are hysterical, fast, funny and completely adorable! I’m pretty sure they are Lavender Polishes and they are the only two like this in Maydelle, Texas! Lucky girl that I am they were both hens, I plucked them both from a straight run assortment in April.…
Yesterday I took a vacation day to celebrate my daughters 6th birthday with her. I still went in to work for 45 minutes to order feed but hey, 45 minutes is better than 10 hours. So it was awesome. This morning I get out of bed, late. I go to make Addie a peanut butter and jelly…
I’m not sure if it is quite right to publish recipes for chicken on a site that serves to honor, love and cherish chickens. On the other hand I honor, love and cherish Chicken Salad. So, we just won’t worry about offending the flock, they can’t read anyway. Chicken Salad is a funny thing, everyone seems…
