https://devhensbrood.wordpress.com/2014/05/25/the-morning-after
Raising 2 Families in 1 Yard. May 25, 2014. July 4, 2014. Last night it was with heavy heart and great anxiety that I put my chicks in the coop for the night. This morning it was with great embarrassment and feelings of neglect that I woke up realizing I slept like a rock last night. So much so that I didn’t even check on them once! What a poor mother hen I am! Looks like dinner will be coming to them! Share on Facebook (Opens in new window). Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window). The Eggs an...

Raising 2 Families in 1 Yard. May 16, 2014. May 21, 2014. They check all the nooks in the brooder, sizing up the best route out. Learning where the weak spots were. And they found one when I go to clean the feed and water font. When I clean them, I slide the screen covering the top open to take it out and leave it open a bit. When I brought the water back, I saw this waiting for me:. 8221; Possibly…. Sneaky little chicks! Share on Facebook (Opens in new window). Click to email (Opens in new window).

Hatsy | Dev-hen's Brood
https://devhensbrood.wordpress.com/2014/07/13/hatsy
Raising 2 Families in 1 Yard. July 13, 2014. By Lauren Scheuer. Jordan loved that book – especially Hatsy, the Golden Buff chicken, and all of her funny antics. She said we had to have a “Lucy” in our flock and when we ordered a Barred Rock like Lucy, she named it Hatsy after her favorite character. Share on Facebook (Opens in new window).

Roosting | Dev-hen's Brood
https://devhensbrood.wordpress.com/2014/06/03/roosting
Raising 2 Families in 1 Yard. June 3, 2014. July 4, 2014. I know that chickens and most birds for that matter like to roost to sleep. I had made the girls a low roosting bar in their brooder to “practice” on, but, I truly learned the importance and instinct they have to roost when they moved out to the coop and run. I came out side one afternoon and saw this:. It was so cute to come outside and see them side by side resting in the sun. Share on Facebook (Opens in new window). Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Raising 2 Families in 1 Yard. We have 2 Beagle/Feist mix brothers, Buddy and Buster. Feist? Feist is a terrier-ish squirrel hunting dog from the South. We got them from a rescue group in the Minneapolis area, MARS – Midwest Animal Rescue, and they are 6 years young. It is hard to believe by looking at them that they were from the same litter.

Lost! | Dev-hen's Brood
https://devhensbrood.wordpress.com/2014/06/07/lost
Raising 2 Families in 1 Yard. June 7, 2014. July 4, 2014. They all went to the coop. I opened the main door to the coop to check the inside temperature (Captain still does not have all her feathers) and did a quick head count. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. What? Sometimes when the black birds are close to each other they look like one so I better recount. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. I have 6 chicks! I didn’t even think it was possible to roost up there. I wasn’t sure if she was stuck up there or enjoyed it. I lo...Click to email (O...
