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.

Hopefully entries work if we've already followed and liked. :) Spartacus is a handsome guy! Love Seramas. :D
Love your Blog and photos. Your chickens are beautiful. I didn't think it was possible to keep a nice yard and garden with chicken's free-ranging. Is that a misconception on my part? I have a lot to learn. Would like to win some nice prizes maybe I can talk my husband in letting me keep chickens!!
You have an awesome site to find almost anything to do with chicks and chickens. I am amazed at some of you research and ideas. I have a real problem with rodents from the woods getting into my feed. A grandpa feeder would be such a blessing to my chickens. I will be getting another 50 chicks next week. A lot of work to be done here. Thank you so much for you site.
Would love to win this! Tired of finding feed all over the place and it scares me to think that other critters might be eating the feed, too.
