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.

This feeder looks like a winner. I also ordered some of the predator pee as I know I have rats that get into my hen house. I ended up ordering the sampler pack as it give a 2 ounce sample of each one and everything is so specific. I'll let you know if it "discourages" the rats , which I NEVER see, but actually crush their tunnels when I walk around in the coop.
Big congratulations on 50k and your herbal fusion business doing sooo well!!!
Happy Friday!!!
Love the blog, love the fb page and I love the chickens!!!
TGIF and another week of give-a-ways! Thanks Kathy (do you ever sleep?)
A grandpa feeder would look nice in our coop!
