This week’s Flock Focus Friday is heavy on fluffy cuteness as we hatched the eggs from P. Allen Smith’s flock and welcomed the chicks into ours!

Spring brings ushers in change and new flock members as we say goodbye to Spartacus.
Spartacus was a Serama x Red Sex Link rooster.

The circle of life played out in the backyard this week and while we welcomed new flock members, we said goodbye to Spartacus who crossed the rainbow bridge. RIP pretty boy.

I always get into trouble on your site ! I love reading and I'm into photography so I love yours ….but I end up clicking on one of your other subjects…then another one…and another!! Just read about your frozen scrambled eggs that are a hot weather treat. I learn something each time I'm on your site… I study your supporters to see how they work or how to order them if they would fit my small backyard coop… Thank you so so so much!! I look forward to each day..

Love your blog! I just found it this morning……I am really excited, I plan on trying SAND in our coop/hen house, we live in the Pacific NW (very wet!) I can't wait to see if sand helps with the constant wetness of our flock environment. Also, thanks for the great Aqua Miser giveaway, it would be so great to have poop free water!

We have a 1/2 acre yard for their daily playtime and then they get free ranging time when I can supervise. Coyote issues. The question: will change of scenery, time out to roam and scratch assist with the roosters not killing each other? Obviously you are 'the head chicken chick' so how might I watch for flock dynamic changes?
