There is no prettier time of year in New England than autumn and as the last of the colorful leaves fell from the trees this week, we said goodbye to the amazing color palate until next year.

Rachel, my Bantam Cochin Frizzle, finally emerged from her molt. Her feathers are more vibrant than ever!

Iris, (Olive Egger pullet) in her first experience as a broody hen, adopted a variety of chicks that I hatched in the incubator and slipped underneath her after dark. The ten chicks are either Black Copper Marans or Olive Eggers.

Sparky (Black Copper Marans cockerel) has found his voice recently and is a chip off the ol’ block. He sounds very much like his dad, Blaze. ♥

I don't know how I feel about this new comment section. But I put a little bit of spruce coop in with the babies today and they loved it. Plus it made our sun room smell WAY better.

I definitely need to "Spruce the Coop!" It's a little close in there now with a foot of snow over the run.

I was so happy when you decided to offer the Spruce the Coop ~ I bought mine and what a great addition to our coop! It really makes a difference:)
