Okay, so we have to admit that we had a darn good time strolling about along the Trail.
We did get a bit astray though and found ourselves out at the beach and by God....the water is still as cold as I remember it. Freezing!!

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend.
October is nearly here and the weather is changing. I don't know about you but I pulled out my snuggly jacket to wear during my evening barn chores. And with the changing weather that means longer nights and more opportunity for predator attacks. Please be certain to have secured your flock prior to dusk/nightfall settling in.

Take care for now.

*****************

Because Farm Trails is such an awesome organization that brings farms and folks together, we at Ranch Hag Hens have decided to play hookey and spend the entire Farm Trails weekend getting to know our neighboring farmers.

We want you to do the same. Get yourself a Farm Trails map and get out and have some fun.

What this means is that Ranch Hag Hens will not be open during Farm Trails. However, if you see us exploring out along the trail please don't hesitate to say Hi.

Community Sharing - Food, Chickens, Eggs, etc

Hey, Good Morning Everyone.








Here's a cool concept...... From seed to flower to food....






from chickens, come eggs!











Stay tuned as we get involved in widespread events to help those in need during these times of change in our communities and across the land.

The House Chicken?

There are house cats. Why can't there be a house chicken?
Kind of an interesting thought, right?

Well, let me tell you why it's not a good idea. Poop. Lot's of poop.
I have been trying to train a chicken to not poop in the house. And, believe me....my family is delighted that my quest is over with.

There's something kind of sweet and innocent about puppy piss but let me tell you.. stumbling into the kitchen at 4am and slipping on chicken sh** isn't nearly as sweet. To be direct...it's just wrong.

So, today I gave it one final attempt and when I checked in on my feathered friend I discovered no less than 16 chicken turds on the floor.

Yes, I had to clean them up. All of them.

But could you imagine pooping 16 times in one day? I know they have a tendency to go quite a bit but this is off the chart.

Sweet Seabrights Need Good Home

A few little fellas are in need of a good home. They have been lovingly hand raised by a local artist She has too many and really wants them to have happy homes with their own ladies to frolic with.
If you (or anyone you know) is in the market for some choppy little fellas with big hearts please contact us.
