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 […]

My funny rabbit eating a fresh spring carrot
March 23, 2012 By 15 Comments
We have the cutest, sweetest little bunny rabbit named Aggie. Our sweet little girl will be three this year, can you believe it?!

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 […]

March 12, 2012 By 5 Comments
My kids rarely make a real mess these days. It’s been what seems like ages since they were those mud puddle splashing, cake frosting smashing, chopping their own hair off little hellions that they used to be! Don’t let them fool you though, being older doesn’t mean they don’t still add a little messiness to […]
