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.

I would love to try this in my brooder! Hatching lavender orpingtons in 21 days and would love to try it instead of dragging sand into and out of my house! River sand has been great for the big girl coop, but Koop Clean seems easier to manage for a brooder, nest boxes, and even for winter bedding. Trying hard to get my local co-op to carry it!!!!
I'm in Colorado' so we don't have Koop Clean yet. I will be calling up my feed stores to let them know I'm extremely interested in getting it for my peeps.
would love to try this product out.. not even in my area.. sounds like it is going to be a new rave for many chicken keepers.. I was also wondering I have a huge hill of left over construction sand from many years ago..when we put down 6 inches of cement in the pole barn had to have the sand laid first.. what if I dug some out of the pile.. that now has grass growing on it.. would it be okay.. if I baked it in the sun first?
Can't find Koop Clean anywhere near me. :(
I totally want to try this stuff! I have lavender orpingtons hatching in 21 days and would love to try it. I love the brown river sand in the big girl coop, but it's heavy to move when brooding (in my house) is done. I've called my local co-op and given their info to Lucerne Farms as well. I hope they get it. Might be good for winter, too. :)
