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 […]

Isn’t rescue chick getting big! He/she/it is almost bigger than Mama Tweet already! And, is it just me or does the little red chick on the right remind you of a roadrunner? This photo cracks me up every time. You probably have to know Ginger to know why she’s pouting. She’s thinking, just shoot me […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
Backyard chicken coop and pen photos #WordlessWednesday
October 12, 2011 By 27 Comments
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. […]
Clint Eastwood rules my yard – Wordless Wednesday

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 […]
