Summer temperatures are really warming up, learn how you can help keep your chickens safe in hot weather with these tips, which include closing hot nest boxes and employing open-air substitutes such as large baskets.


When in doubt, get more chickens!

Awesome ends in "me." Coincidence? I think not.
Coffee made me do it.

I'M UP!
We understand you have our sister's lunch money.

My girls love mealworms, probably more than the real thing, because with a handful of these, there's always "more to go around" than what Mom and Dad found while digging around in the garden!
