This week’s backyard highlights included bitter cold, high winds, driving rain, an aerial surprise and a tragic accident resulting in the loss of a flock member. We also gained a new flock member last night as this little one hatched after Thanksgiving dinner.

We lost Afrodite in a freak accident on Wednesday and while she wasn’t with us very long, she certainly left a lasting impression upon our hearts. Her presence is already missed. RIP girl.

Rachel (bantam Cochin Frizzle) spent most of the week in the Broody Breaker. She snapped out of it just in time for Thanksgiving and is happy to be back free-ranging with the rest of the flockers.

We received a visit from this bald eagle yesterday afternoon, which was a rare, if not frightening, sighting in our neck of the woods. He didn’t stick around long, thankfully. Blaze and Sparky alerted all of us to his presence with their unmistakable warning sounds. Everyone rushed immediately to the safety of the coops and runs.

You always have the best giveaways. I'm happy to report that all is good in my coop. I introduced some chicks to my big girls and I was very happy they decided to mother them instead of kill them. I was nervous because my big girls have never been broody they're less then a year old. I do have to change the water in the coop a few times a day though because we don't have electricity out there. But my husband is thinking of putting solar out there after the new year.
