And this BBC (Big Beautiful Chicken) needs a name! She’s BIIIIG, sweet, and has feathered feet! She’s a Dark Brahma.

Help me name her! It needs to be a human name with one or two syllables (because I’m weird).

Meet Lucy! She’s part Ameraucana and will (hopefully) lay green eggies!

New feature on the website! Is Hazel broody - yes or no?
SPOILER ALERT

YES.

Is Hazel Broody? Get up-to-the-minute info on the hormonal status of “the fluffy white one”.

Poor Betty was tacked by a stray cat today. Heard her squawking (nothing out of the ordinary), so I went outside to tell her to shut up. All the girls came to the door as usual, and Betty is missing half the feathers on her back! I walked around to find the feathers and saw a cat hanging out under a shrub. Then noticed the tire dirt bath was FULL of feathers. Poor girl! The plucking must have hurt, but she doesn't seem any worse for wear. Just a little bald.

Gertie has a new preferred perch.

A record week with 32 eggs (avg 6.4 eggs per hen)! Hazel isn't broody, the weather is good. Production reflects conditions and overall health. BOOM.

Whew! What a week. Mom is visiting, so we have been working super hard to get the yard ready for the A Peep at the Coops: The Urban Coop Tour this weekend! We finished all the hard stuff a day ahead of schedule, so tomorrow we rest!
