Rancho de la LibertadProud mama hen hatched two baby chicks early today, and we're hoping for more over the next few days. She's staying on the nest, so she seems fairly certain more are coming!

Ari "Two Elements" JacksonI have not posted a #chicken picture in a while!
Four out of seven of them are still moulting and look just terrible. Every morning, the inside of the coop looks like a chicken exploded.
Only one is laying eggs lately, the very youngest one, born in 2024, but that is just one egg every two or three days. (This is normal for winter and moulting season!)
I did not preserve any eggs in October this year, which was a mistake!
Oh well.
Deborah MakariosOur hens won't drink under a roof. Eat, sleep, poop, and lay eggs, but not drink.
Bowl of water on the back step? Fill 'er up, we've nearly emptied it already.
Bowl of water in the coop (near the feeder)? ABOMINATION.
Waterer on the back step? Sure, why not.
Waterer in the doorway of a doorless and derelict shed in the chicken run? Not going near it; would rather die.
Waterer randomly out in the run? At last, we were DYING!

The destructive might of the chicken horde has been held back by the chicken-wire-with-assorted-additions fence for a couple of days now, so I have been bold and sowed shade-loving flowers in the bed under the kitchen window.
It was built as a raised bed, but whoever built it didn't consider that burying the foundation's air vents under a foot or so of soil was not a great idea.
Hopefully the seeds don't mind a heavy clay soil under a thin layer of rich loam.

My chicken tried to EAT a button right off my shirt! While I was wearing it!
Luckily it was well sewn on, but now she keeps stalking me in the garden with her beady little eye fixed on the button in question.
The button is made of coconut shell, and it's the sort you button a long tab to if you have your sleeves rolled up (I didn't).
Now I'm worried about what else on or about my person she might take it into her tiny little brain to consider comestible.
