Mountain Laurel is the state flower of Connecticut and a new addition to our chicken yard this summer.  :)

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!
It's not the heat, it's the humidity
Sometimes I look forward to going to bed at night because I know that when I wake up, I get coffee.

Who's yer DADDY?!
Always be kinder than necessary.
I'M UP!
We understand you have our sister's lunch money.
