What a fantastic week it has been! All kinds of great goings-on, including buds opening on flowers and trees, temps in the eighties, new sponsors and opportunities knocking, justice doing its thing for the good guys and Blaze’s chicks hatching by the dozen! I’ll keep you updated on all of the above in due time.  Please enjoy some of the photos taken in my chicken yard this week and Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms who have done or are doing The most important job in the world, bar none.

The flock celebrates its matriarch, Freida, as Mother Hen of the Year for 6 consecutive years!

Decaf you mean broken coffee
I'm busy turning coffee into awesomeness
She went that way
Wake up and caffeinate

Just 4 weeks into my adventure with chicks. Your site was one of the first I found and I ffell in love with Blaze. I know you were heartbroken to lose him. I’m so happy to hear he has little ones. Black Copper Marans will be added to my flock soon. I’d really appreciate winning the incubator to help build my flock. Thanks for offering such great giveaways.

I’m afraid if I did win this I would be getting more chickens, but I’m willing to risk it.
