This morning, the girls were awoken around 7am. The Prince opened the coop, letting the light shine in. But, they didn’t emerge to the run until a few hours later when he actually ASKED them to come out. Then the sweet ladies graced the world. I wonder if that is normal. My daughter selectively listens [...]

This morning was lovely. Woke up around 7:30am with the family. We got on our sweatshirts over the jammies and set out to the backyard. I have to admit, I was a bit nervous, didn’t know what to expect from the ladies after their first sleepover in their new home. Here are some photos:
Woke up, fell out of bed and now we have chickens

So, today was the day that we became parents to 4 more critters. We went to meet Dan, Dan the Chicken Man (from a Polish farm outside of our fair city) at North Haven Gardens. I have to say, the people from NHG are AMAZING! They have so much information about backyard chickening and some [...]

Picking up our feathered friends tomorrow at 10am from North Haven Gardens, a mere 4.2 miles from our castle. Coop, check! Straw, check! Scarecrow dressed in the Prince’s old clothes, check! Water and feeder, check! Now, we just need to get a roof on that baby and we are good to go. On a bittersweet [...]

So, after a big NPR kick, we decided that chickens were sustainable. My Prince and I refuse to leave a carbon footprint. So, the Prince rescued wood from the garage storage (which is now a sound/music studio, but that is another story) and built a chicken coop. Really?!!! Re-use and Recycle. Check out the infancy of our [...]

Thinking about becoming a chicken farmer??? Make sure to check your city’s municipal code. This is what my city’s code says: (5) The act of keeping or causing to be kept any chickens, geese, ducks, guineas, pigeons, rabbits or dogs in pens or enclosed areas kept in such a manner as to become offensive, producing [...]
Garage sale…is it worth it? or Make Room for Chickens!

We can either move or find more room in our house. I am getting the itch. We have 1700 square feet and three humans, 6 fish and 1 cat. And soon, 4 chickens. But they will live outside. Anyway, I digress. Garage sale is in order. I have never had a garage sale and quite [...]

We hit the big NYC last week. A composters dream: We didn’t come back with an I Love NY t-shirt or a knock-off Chanel bag from Canal Street. But, I did come back with a mean case of the sniffles and non-hangover headache. I went to the doctor yesterday. I am one of those people [...]
