Yesterday was a really sad day. I had to say goodbye to my three feather babies. This is the last post of 52 Weeks of Chickens – 2nd Generation. The Chickens As the past 1.5 weeks progressed, we started keeping only Valentino in a sound proof shed overnight. At 9am, when it is already acceptable […]

This week (past fortnight) we discovered a tragedy… Valentina is Valentino. We are trying to figure out what to do with him. We love him so much, but our local council does not allow rooster. As a consequence, we need to make tough decisions. The Chickens The confirmation that Valentino’s crowing was because he was […]

Had too busy of a week/end and was not able to take photos this past week of the chickens. Next week (to be week 17) will come with bombastic news.

Week 16 was a “normal” week. This weekend the dog we were taking care for went home, HORAY!!! It is bitter sweet to see him go, as he was such a good dog and so warm, but there were issues with his presence in our home, as I may have highlighted in other posts. He […]

This week was a “normal”. But the girls were “naughty” and ate a seedling Dean had planted, and now they can’t stay out on their own. So they go out when I can chaperone them. The Chickens Valentina is really going beyond my expectations. She’s become my favorite (sorry Consuelo and Dolores). I know Valentina […]

This week was a “normal”, yet unusual week. Our dog house guest went back home and the girls now rule the backyard. The Chickens It is clear that Valentina is the Alfa of this brood of chickens. Having said that, they still all love me (or better, my ability to give them worms) and will […]

This week was supposed to be profile week. Unfortunately a lot happened and it wasn’t. We are dog-sitting a lovely dog, but he’s too excited, which means we couldn’t get the chickens and the dog in the same backyard at the same time. More below. The Chickens We started dog sitting this week. As a […]

Almost didn’t post this week, as it has been a very complicated one. In the end, things got pulled together and I was able to get a few shots today. The Chickens The chickens in the kitchen have become a nuisance. They didn’t stay in the pen anymore, pooping everywhere and Dean didn’t finish building […]
