Things are still rolling around here! Our laying hens are free ranging happily and our 15 teenager chickens are about 12 weeks old now and have been settling into their new coop that we’ve been working on slowly but surely!

Unfortunately this week has been the week of “invasion”. We’ve lost three of our layers due to predator issues. Two were killed and we had to put one down from an injury that wouldn’t have healed right 😭. We think the culprit was either a Raccoon or Possum, and Rodger has been on a mission setting traps. So far we’ve caught one of each and have reinforced the coop a little bit more.

And to add to the chaos I walked in to collect eggs to find my biggest fear helping himself to a fresh egg. A 5 foot black snake 🐍. Rodg removed him and safely relocated him far, far away!

This week is really showing me how much I need my husband’s help for all this chicken business 😂

Our hens have been getting to free range outside of their run for the last week and they are LOVING it. All this foraging will make for some extra delicious farm fresh eggs 🥚 🐓❤️

We also added a few babies from our local farm store to hold us over until the chicks we have ordered arrive. We love spring around here and all of the new life 🐤

I walked into the coop at the perfect time today to catch one of our Rhode Island reds laying an egg. Pretty lucky timing 🍀

We didn’t let the dreary, wet weather keep us from doing a little work on our chicken coop today. Slowly, but surely coming along!

Also, peep one of our hens in the 3rd photo checking out the commotion outside her coop 🤣🐔

We sure are ready for spring around here! Checking for eggs multiple times a day and still have some that are freezing and breaking 😞 🥚 🐓

I have a pretty cute helper when it comes to chores for the chickens!
