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.

I could so use one of these
I would love to have the grandpas feeder. Was just telling my hubby how bad we need one.
When it comes to humor (necessary when you have a farm) and useful information, the Chicken Chick is #1. We have bought and used many of the products you recommend and would love to win the Grandpa's feeder!
I look forward to all the pics and the valuable info as a new chicken owner.
Recently we finished a large enclosure for all our chickens…..I was surprised to learn how much feed I was losing to all the wild birds. Our coops have built in feeders, but much is still lost onto the inside floor. Now, I am considering a Grandpa's feeder to save even more of the chicken feed. I appreciate all the educational and interesting articles. This is one place where I actually look at the advertising and find great products. Your site is so much fun and I'm learning something new and valuable everyday. Thank you!
