The weathervane just isn’t the same without Brutus, but life goes on and we welcomed a few new flock members to Blazing Trails Farm this week.
Freida (White Silkie) is never happier than when she is raising chicks. Freida with two Olive Egger chicks.
Egg production is still excellent even while the girlz molt, but soon the shorter days of autumn will affect it and supplemental lighting in the coops will continue to stimulate the hormones that trigger egg-laying just as the sun does.

By popular demand, I have made my Spruce the Coop Herbal Fusion available for sale on Etsy and in my webstore. Instructions for making it can be found here.
My Partridge Plymouth Rock pullets just began egg-laying and while they aren’t molting this year, they did enjoy the Molt Muffins that I made for the flockers who are molting, like Rachel, below (Bantam Cochin Frizzle).

Always looking for more sources of good feed.
An extra bag would sure comes in handy!
Would love to win that feed! :)
Love to browse you site and look at the beautiful birds you have…Still thinking about ordering some eggs to hatch from you… Any time we have a chance to win a bag of feed, you can bet I will enter! Doing animal rescue, domestic and livestock (even have 20 chickens that we rescued that were gonna be butchered) and everything coming out of our pocket, it can get kinda hairy at times!
Love your FB page and website…Just joined you on Google +, too. I have oversight of a small community farm program for young adults with disabilities in the Blue Ridge area of Virginia. We have 8 "old girls" – a mix of buff orpingtons, little white hens, and feisty red hens. We started raising some chicks in April and they've now started to lay. They were advertised as araucanas, but I think they may be Ameraucanas. We're an all volunteer program, so would love to win some chicken feed for our hungry flock.
