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 […]
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.

Our little banty hen Gabby has been sitting on her four precious little bundles for 19 days now. With a little luck her perseverance will pay off in another 2-4 days and we’ll have baby chicks to love :) Who’s the Daddy?Flapjack or Rusty?

Super Genius was home today, it’s hard to roof in the rain! I had planned on having a quiet day at home and try and get some blog work done before the weekend, I am so behind! Scratch that, hubby drug me out of the house to do some errands. I didn’t want to go, […]
