Busy, busy week here in Suffield, Connecticut. Lots of sunshine and balmy temperatures provided ideal conditions for doing spring clean up and yard work that the chickens were happy to help with. Please enjoy the photos!

Our annual truckload of mulch was delivered this week and the chickens did their part to help spread it into place- and then kicked it out of place.
A little strategically placed hardware cloth underneath preferred dust bathing locations (theirs, not mine!) seems to be redirecting the chickens’ digging activities.
One of my “little” brothers visited this week with my niece to pick up his annual load of custom-made chicken manure for his garden.
Freida (5 year old White Silkie) and  Ceasar (9 month old Serama cockerel)

There are currently three broody hens in the flock. The hens who have proven to be good mothers will be given fertile eggs to hatch.

Mr. Chicken Chick installed the mailbox he made for me in February for my birthday. I love it and it’s a nice clean spot to set down the egg basket while puttering around the chicken yard.

Every time I see a photo of your Ally McBeak I think of Phyllis Diller – must be the crazy hairdo!

Hello Kathy! I would love to win that chicken hydrator waterer! Thanks for the opportunity. Also – the chicken fourth from the bottom, copper and black, doesn't have a comb! I don't think I have ever seen a chicken without a comb, or am I just missing out on a few brain cells! What kind of a chicken is that?
