This week alternated between rainy and sunny, which has been great for the flowers and for the puddle drinkers in the flock. I have been busy offline chatting with two new sponsors that I’ll be introducing to you soon- I know you’re going to be excited about their products!
Freida went broody this week, so I set her up in the maternity ward. I put the eggs in the makeshift nest box for her and she literally wasted no time thinking about it and walked right in immediately to keep them warm! Best broody mom ever.
Blaze (Black Copper Marans) & Rachel, (Bantam Cochin Frizzle) the Royal Couple.
Calista Flockheart (Tolbunt Polish Frizzle) continues her snail-paced molt, but she is making progress, so hopefully she’ll be back to supermodel form before summer is over.
My P. Allen Smithlings are getting ginormous! These two are a Dorkings pair. Can you tell which one is the cockerel? Besides the fact that he’s sleeping in the middle of a crowd, if you read my article on sexing chickens this week, you’ll notice some obvious physical features that distinguish him from her.

Love your blog and newsletter. It has helped me tremendously. Thanks.
I bet Coop Clean keeps a broody hen cleaner than regular shaving. My broody Mamma ended up getting an infection in her tail feathers that lead to complete abuse from the rest of the flock. She's better and i'm hoping next time, we'll have the Coop Clean.
I have emailed the Koop Clean peeps and haven't heard anything back. Im corssing my fingers that I can get it in a store close by soon. My hens aren't laying yet but Im hoping to get the Koop Clean for their nesting boxes before they do!
Thanks so much for the great giveaway. I'd love to try it out.
