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.

The feeder looks amazing. But so does.your home. It must take a lot of work to keep your landscaping so nice.
Thanks for giving me the advice on getting my girls to use their watering nipples! I had been so worried about removing their 3 gallon plastic waterer; but when you said that was the way, I absolutely trusted you. I pulled their old waterer out at like 1030 yesterday and was elated to see at least one of my girls getting her pre-bedtime drink out of the nipples last night!! Thanks for helping me be a more knowledgeable and confident chicken mom :-)
Love your blog!!!
Thanks. Even though the two EE are normal I worried due to something I read that my treats of greens may be upsetting her balance. Hey hubby is 6' 10 1/2" he needs all the protein he can get so we will just enjoy those doubles for now lol. On the Jr. front it's day 17 and we are actually up in the night hovering over the incubator checking temps and humidity…yikes just like new parents.
Third time trying to get a feeder…lets hope 3rd one is the charm! :) I would really love this feeder for our chickens and for our newly purchased farm to look spectacular with the newest thing. haha
