Best Chicken Poo Stress Toy Ever!!

The only thing that would make this stress toy better for me: give the poor chicken some feathers!

Veggie Garden Progress – Wordless Wednesday

Tomatoes are already out of control! Can you see the cages holding them up?

Nothing ripe...yet

Hoping for a bumper potato crop this year

Green beans are little behind but catching up FAST!

Tomatillos & peppers are finally showing fruit

She swore she was only eating bugs but I'm not sure I believe her...

Cabbage & brussels sprouts are almost too pretty to eat

Video: Buttercup Crowing

Video: Front Garden & Chickens

I got my new iPhone 4 and thought I’d test out the video function. It works pretty great – aside from my camera work and shooting directly into the sun.

Here’s the video I made of my front garden and some of my chickens:

Tips and video feedback are always welcome.

I’m FREAKING OUT!

For the last couple days I’ve watched these little red spots (wattles) develop under Licorice’s beak. This morning they look huge! I’m freaking out. Is Licorice a ROOSTER? Can this even be possible?

Please be a hen, please be a hen, please be a hen...

Why am I freaking out? If she turns out to be a he:

  • I’ll have raised three chicks (two last year/one this year). All three would be roosters!
  • We may need to move so we can keep all the chickens. I live IN TOWN! I have neighbors. They tolerate ONE rooster!
  • I may have to send Buttercup back to the farm (my mom’s) since I obviously favor Licorice. OR
  • I may build another coop (put in front yard) and get Licorice a lady friend.
