I do believe that my rooster, Gimli, thinks that he was born to be in front of the camera. Everywhere I go outside, he follows me — peeking around corners, photo-bombing post pictures and generally ALWAYS getting in the shot! Then, I can’t help but take more photos of him. His black . . . → Read More: A Rooster named Gimli (and a couple of chicks) #ww 
My silly hubby thinks he can get away with these types of things. The chickens keep running down the road and over to the neighbor’s yard so hubby has been using the lawn mower to wrangle them back into the yard. Um… really? He actually said these words to me when he noticed me standing on the porch (words in the . . . → Read More: Wordless Wednesday – Chicken chasing and my hubby #ww 
Meet our newest member of the flock, April. I stole her. Without going into detail, let me just say — some people should not be allowed to own animals. This poor chickie has a new home with us now and she is such a sweetheart! One lone chicken can get a bit chilly and peep a lot because they want someone . . . → Read More: I stole a chicken – kind of 
This is one of my older hens – Penny, we lost her sister last summer . Penny is a red sex link {or Red Star} hen that we got at the local feed mill years ago. She is such a curious chicken, she’s the one who will follow anyone in the family around the yard and hover around the picnic table when we’re . . . → Read More: {almost} Wordless Wednesday – Penny the Hen 
It’s such a gorgeous Spring day here in Northwestern Pennsylvania! The temperatures stayed in the high 70′s all week and my chickens have been enjoying all of the fresh green grass, not to mention the insane amount of bugs already making an appearance this early in the season. We’re doing a bit of shuffling around with the roosters, we’ve ended up with three . . . → Read More: It’s a chicken kind of day – come visit the coop! 
I was looking through some old photos on my Photobucket account this morning when I ran across a video from our old house that I had forgotten all about! It was the morning {the very early morning} of July 4th, 2007. Super G. and I were woken by a loud racket. It sounded like a whole flock of crows had set up residence in . . . → Read More: The big giant Owl that ate my chicken — and why you should make sure your backyard chickens are locked up at night. 
I think I’ve got two pretty handsome looking men here, what do you think? Super G. is the best, he has always taken care of my flock for me when the weather gets nasty. Last weekend he brought one of the roos up to the house so I could check him out. Wow! Can you believe how big this . . . → Read More: {almost} Wordless Wednesday – a couple of handsome guys #ww 
You know you’ve got a good one when your hubby tromps out to the chicken coop in a snow squall to stomp out an area for your chickens to walk around in. That’s love . . . → Read More: {almost} Wordless Wednesday – Think I’ll keep him 
Well, it was almost wordless Last week Super Genius and I spent a day readying our little flock for winter. We used the tractor to pull the old coop out of the mud pit it was sinking into. The poor chickens had been up to their knees in muck after the month of rain. YUCK! The coop should last until . . . → Read More: Backyard chicken coop and pen photos #WordlessWednesday 
It’s been awhile since you’ve seen any chicken photos so here’s one of our Roo. Remember when we bought him from Craigslist a few months ago? he was just a little guy then and barely had any tail feathers. Just look at how big he’s gotten! I never did tell you what name we decided to go with either! We loved everyone’s suggestions . . . → Read More: Clint Eastwood rules my yard – Wordless Wednesday 
Or maybe a better question would be, Are you sick of hearing about chickens yet? Sorry, can’t help it. I’m convinced every family should own a chicken… or 30. They are funny creatures, they lay eggs, they cluck, what’s not to love? {okay, they do occasionally get into things they shouldn’t, don’t let it deter you} . . . → Read More: Have you ever been to a chicken yard sale? 
After Mr. Puff died from old age I told myself that it would be a long long time before I felt ready to have another rooster in the coop. Telling myself something and actually doing it are two completely different things however. So when I was browsing Craigslist last week and saw a listing for a . . . → Read More: Help us name our new Silver Laced Wyandotte Rooster 
I just thought I’d share a few minutes of chicken owning goodness with you today. Even though I’ve owned chickens off and on for most of my life, is it totally strange that I could still sit outside all day and watch my chickens run around after each other, scratching, clucking, and making us giggle?
