This week’s Wordless Wednesday is just three random cellphone photos from the past week or so. My granddaughter was peeking over the couch at me and she looked so cute while trying to escape! Our barred rock rooster Gimli has grown into a gorgeous black and white beast. While he still has a bit of […]
{almost} Wordless Wednesday – Chickening Around #ww
April 23, 2013 By 34 Comments
You may think I’m kidding you when I mention how much of a crazy chicken lady I really am. Well, I kid you not. This evening, for reasons untold, I needed to take a photo with a chicken and a sign. Or, rather, wanted to take a photo with a chicken and a sign. Chickens […]
The chicks are finally old enough to free range!
July 20, 2012 By 7 Comments
A couple of days ago I let the “chicks” out to free range for the first time. They moved from the brooding pen to the growing up pen over two months ago. They were ready to get out and explore the backyard! When I opened the gate, they timidly stepped forward, then led by their […]

Happy Fourth of July!! I hope you have a wonderful day with family and friends. Stay safe! Here are a few photos from our picnic July 3rd! What’s for supper? Chicken!! Just kidding :) Seriously though, this is why I ALWAYS use a tablecloth on the picnic table!
Alright, who’s the slacker?

Our girls have been laying big beautiful fresh eggs this spring. This morning when I went out there were eight large brown and rosey hued eggs in the four nest boxes. And, there was one teeny tiny speckled one. I’m not sure who laid this little darling but isn’t it cute! I just had to […]
A Rooster named Gimli (and a couple of chicks) #ww
May 8, 2012 By 35 Comments
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 and white barring […]
Wordless Wednesday – Chicken chasing and my hubby #ww
May 1, 2012 By 30 Comments
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 […]
I stole a chicken – kind of

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 […]
{almost} Wordless Wednesday – Penny the Hen
April 10, 2012 By 31 Comments
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 […]
It’s a chicken kind of day – come visit the coop!
March 23, 2012 By 9 Comments
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 […]
{almost} Wordless Wednesday – raindrops, rooster and a sunset
March 14, 2012 By 26 Comments
It’s been an up and down week but I’m still doing well with keeping up on the #marchphotoaday meme on Instagram. In between the few rainy days, we’ve had some absolutely gorgeous out-of-the-norm ones reaching temps near the mid 60’s! The chickens love it and take every opportunity to sneak up front to scratch around the bird […]
The big giant Owl that ate my chicken — and why you should make sure your backyard chickens are locked up at night.

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 […]
