I love my top bar hive! It's got a quilt box on top, so it's sort of a hybrid hive. The bees love it too. I've been able to winter over many seasons. In fact, I've only had to install 3 swarms in the past 8 years of being a beekeeper.

Honey was my favorite chicken! She was 11 years old and was an Americana Wheaten. She laid her last egg in her last year! She had seen a few flocks in her time and was very tame. She used to sing a song to the flock to keep track of everyone and if you sang this song to her, she would answer you back! I will miss her very much!

I buried her with her favorite plants and flowers. She still keeps an eye on the girls. RIP Honey.

Broody Thelma Gets a New Home

11/5/2013

I loved my Blue-Laced Red Wyandottes, Thelma and Louise (Wheezy), but boy, are they BROODY! Each summer Thelma would stay broody for longer and longer amounts of time, finally last summer, she spent most of it in the nestbox! I thought it was only fair to her to rehome her to the country where she could be a mama! I'm sure she is much happier now, though her sister still misses her!

Blue-Laced Red Wyandottes can be broody little girls but look how cute their bloomers are! These two are sisters, Thelma & Louise. They go everywhere together!

I try to give my girls at least a few hours to free range every day. Makes for very happy girls! Plus they are so fun to watch!You can gather a lot of info by observing your girls on a regular basis.

Chicken Girl

I had to share some of the pictures I took today of my friend's daughter.  This little girl is a natural with chickens.  It doesn't hurt that both of her parents love animals. She has raised all seven of her girls.  She is so incredibly gentle with the chicks.  The older chickens really trust her.  For such a little gal she is able to hold them securely and gently.  

I find animal husbandry so important to a part of a child's growing up.  It teaches children empathy and responsibility.  

I see a little chicken sitter in our future...
