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.

Gotta love a CLEAN KOOP! :)
Would absolutely love to get this for our flock! :)
Thx for all the great information!
I love your blogs and I love the information that you pass on! I have learned so much about chicken keeping from you! My chicken are happy, and spoiled! I would LOVE to try the new Koop clean product for my girls!
Great start, when I start raising my chickens! I can't wait to see my first hen go "broody"- learning a new language when it comes to learning all about chickens! LOL! By the way, I showed my son the video showing the chicks growing, as seen with ovascope, and he is FASCINATED! Now he he is excited to start raising chickens. He loves all your pics above of your beautiful birds and can't wait to name them cute and original names! Warm regards, Nicole
