I've realized I've posted very few chicken pictures since the baby chick rave cave days. So, meet two of our roosters: Caesar in front, our benevolent one, and Nero in the back who lives up to his name and always kind of is eyeing me like he'd like to kill me but hasn't decided how yet.

Maybe this will be a chicken thread? May as well introduce you all to some of the residents!

The management strategies discussed specifically emphasize efficient use of water and energy and do not recommend asinine (but popular) heat management strategies like installing misters and industrial fans in the chicken coop.

Chicken Allies in the Mojave Desert

Chickens, right? Everyone's favorite "entry level" farm animal. Us, too. But despite reading a plethora of books on chicken husbandry and integrating chickens into homesteads, permaculture gardens, and holistic management schemes, we had no clue what we were doing when we brought our first flock home. In part, our cluelessness

Rancho de la Libertad

Can any of the chicken peeps of Mastodon help us identify this mystery chick we were sent? She's absolutely gorgeous, but definitely not one of our Reds. She looks like a Sicilian Buttercup? But I've never kept them so I'm not entirely sure!

So this is why her supply of eggs is never... eggs-austed.

Spring & new life arriving. Our first flock of new chickens brooding in the chirping rave cave, getting taller by the hour and more feathered every day.

These are Naked Necks, with another flock of Rhode Island Reds to be our foragers in the mobile coop coming in April.
