During the winter, on days that are below 32 degrees farenheit (a few degrees below won’t hurt) you should not let your chickens out of the coop. Even though they can still go back in the coop, the cold air will make the coop colder as well. Also, chickens, like humans, can get frostbite, (except […]
We have recently spotted a fox hanging around our yard every morning, and today we saw him mosey on over towards our coop. Our chickens are protected, but here are some ways to protect against animals like a fox. First, always keep an eye for anything that looks like a hole outside of the run […]
We have a lot of fresh eggs from our chickens and with New Years in a few days we are in full prep mode. One thing we all love for New Years are Deviled Eggs; but there is a problem, when we hard boil our eggs they stick to the shell when you peel them […]
December time is here, Christmas time is near, see the fire’s glow, The mistletoe waits for one sweet kiss, to see that face of bliss, from one sweet little kiss, The angel looks down below, from the tree all aglow, Santa’s coming down the chimney, with a pack full of toys, all for Christmas joys, […]
Meet our chicken Lizzy, a sweet, loving chicken. This special chicken was lame when she was younger, but she seemed to out-grow it until she got her toe stuck in a pitch-fork when she was still younger (I know, once-in-a lifetime chance, but it happened). This seemed to re-awaken the problem, to a higher pain, […]

We put the younger ones in with the full-growns about a month ago, and the babies have started laying!!! Currently, the younger chickens are laying a little […]

We sold 18 things and we got our first order for eggs (2 dozen!), and about three other people that asked about our eggs, and more than 20 people took […]
Tommorow we are going to be participating at the Willington Craft Fair which will be at the Willington Public Library from 9 A.M. to 2 P.M. We will be selling a variety of things including Christmas ornaments! We hope to see many people at our table!
Our chickens are the best! Well I know everyone says that, but seriously… The Speckled Sussex. Our chicken can trace their linage back to the Royal tables (I mean coops) of Britain. The Speckled Sussex was so famous and so sought after that the Romans invaded Britain in 43 AD!! The Speckled Sussex was then […]
Rabbits have found our garden. They sampled all but 2 of our cabbage (which were ready to pick!). Checked the fence. Not sure where they are getting in. Set a trap so hopefully we will get it/them.
