Egg production has been down for a while now, primarily due to the number of broody hens waiting for chicks to hatch. We were happy to welcome four baby chicks to the flock, three Olive Eggers and one Black Copper Marans! This chick is having a seat on her mama hen, BroomHilda.
Rachel (Bantam Cochin Frizzle) is beginning to molt. Molting starts at the head and works its way down and back.
Windy (Blue Splash Marans) has crooked toes one one foot, which causes her to carry more weight on the other foot. As a result, she gets bumblefoot from time-to-time. She needed to have the bumblefoot surgery this week, which was no fun for any of us.
Another new project was started in the ever evolving chicken coop this week. Walls over the studs will make cleaning much easier.

Loooove Happy Hens mealworms….well not ME, but my hens love them! :) Would love to win some!
More treats so they can bombard me at the gate in the morning! They won't know what to do with themselves!!
My girls love their happy hen treats, and I am almost out! I also tried saving sunflower seeds for them this year but my flowers didn't make it. Would love to win these for them :-)
I would love to win! Have 16 chickens with 5 chicks that hatched last week under 2 broodies.
My ladies and their weekend visitors, Roosters Sunday and Monday, would love these fine treats. Backflips would not be out of the question… According to the rumor mill news releases and agent statements. (Personally speaking, I don't' believe the ladies and visitors are doing backflips!)
