The beginning of this week started with some rain, but that didn’t stop the flockers from getting out and about. Peak foliage is upon us here in New England and we are enjoying every minute of it.

A few of the late spring chickens have just begun laying eggs while the older flockers finish up their molt.

A significant milestone was hit on my Facebook page this week as the fan ticker hit the 50,000 mark! I have been blessed to be able to interact with so many wonderful people around the world daily, sharing our love and appreciation for backyard chickens.
When I wasn’t on Facebook or writing magazine articles this week, I was busy shipping Spruce the Coop Herbal Fusion. I had a little trouble keeping up with demand, but am now fully stocked and herbal pest control is on its way to nest boxes all over the country!
Spartacus, (Serama x Red Sex Link) the son of Brutus and Vera, got named this week. Look at how quickly he feathered out this week- the top photo was taken last Friday and the photo below was taken six days later.

Spartacus is gorgeous! Love seeing your Brutus live on through him!
It is a wonderful Friday and a fun give-a-way! Woohoo!
I am so grateful for your FB page and website and the vast quantity of helpful articles. Twenty-five ears ago I had chickens, but didn't have a resource like yours to turn to and therefore I one problem after another. With the internet and your articles I have been very successful raising 3 little cuties in my suburban neighborhood. Your suggestions have kept my girls in tip top health, happy, playful and great producers. Thank you!!!!
Just yesterday, I was noticing how much feed was ending up on the ground around my feeder. I don't have a rat or mouse problem yet, but fear I will. So, to keep my girls healthy, and to cut down on feed being wasted, I would LOVE to have one of Grandpa's Feeders! Thank you!
I suspect even my girls could figure out how to use this!
