Chickens Doing Chicken Things
November 30, 2011Liesel Gets the Molts
November 27, 2011Poor Liesel. She is on the road to re-grown feather recovery now, but a week or so ago, it looked like it was snowing chicken feathers. Can chickens feel ashamed? Poor Liesel is NOT happy to be molting, and Greta is seriously not impressed, either. Now that Greta is post-molt, her feathers are lovely and [...]
Marta Molts
October 16, 2011The good news is that Greta’s tail feathers are growing back, and she now has a mini-stumpy tail. The other good news is that now that she is done being broody and molting, Greta is finally laying eggs again. The bad news, for Marta-Chicken, at least, is that Marta is now molting. She’s down to [...]
Chicken Ridiculosity
October 4, 2011Because of the rain this week, I got a fancy new set up for the chickens: It is one of those pop-up shade tent things, and I’m hoping for the best. Also, you can see that my sad little fence is still propped up. My idiot neighbors over there decided they didn’t want to have [...]
The Many Trials of Greta-Chicken
September 26, 2011Oh, poor Greta-Chicken. She is always such a mess. This week, she FINALLY got over being broody, just in time to start molting. I’m pretty sure Liesel is telling her: “Girl, you look a mess.” Greta just can’t catch a break. Last year, she was so disgusting that I had to give her a bath. [...]

Attempt #1 to Cure the Broodiness: Fail
August 14, 2011So, a while back I mentioned that Greta Chicken had a case of the broodiness and was doing her chicken-darndest to hatch some eggs. Or hatch the air, since I take away the eggs. Miriam from Mucky Boots (I’m such a stalker. I mentioned Mucky Boots in my last post, too!) commented on that old [...]
Some Animals
July 30, 2011Oh, hello, blog. It has been a busy week. After a whirlwind trip to Portland last week, I got back last night from four days in San Diego. And I am tired. It has been a very overcast morning, so it feels like a lazy day. I did manage to walk dogs at the Humane [...]
Greta Chicken is Broody
July 26, 2011Oh, Greta. Girlfriend got it in her bird head yesterday that she was going to hatch everybody’s eggs. However, since there are no roosters in this yard, she can sit on those eggs for the rest of her natural chicken life, and they are never going to hatch. The cute part about it is that [...]
too hot for words
June 20, 2011It was over 100 degrees today at work. And then after that I had a horseback riding lesson. During the lesson, we took periodic breaks to stand in the shade so that nobody passed out (people or horses). I have about a million photos of yard happenings, but, like the title says, it is just [...]
