This week, ellen deHeneres and her adopted chicks moved from the brooder in the basement to the Big Girl Coop and within a few days they were fully integrated into the flock and foraging like pros!

I didn't ask to be a princess, but if the crown fits...
Wake up and get your coffee ON!
Too bad my morning coffee ddn't come with a side order of SILENCE!
They said I could be anything...so I became a dandelion.
Too much Monday, not enough coffee.
If someone says you have "enough" chickens & don't need any more, WALK AWAY. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
This coffee is making me AWESOME!

What a great feeder. Would love to win Grandpa's Feeder!

I so would love one of these feeders. My girls basically only eat outside (even with their regular feed is outside), so this would be great to keep their feed safe from field mice! :)

New to chicken life this spring. Our 7 love roosting on current feeder and pooping inside….gross! Would love to try a Grandpa's feeder to prevent this and also for rodent control.
Love your blog! My 2 children are sick of hearing me say, "the chicken chick says…"
Thank you for such a great resource!
