This blob is all the hatching eggs coming with me! 😍

As many of you know, I let go of ALL of my large fowl last fall and earlier this spring. I love my Silkies and Satins but I miss my “real” chickens lol

Rock River Roost, Little Timber Roost, High Desert Hatchery, and my chicken friend Audrey have all generously contributed to help me rebuild my flock!

I wish I could just do an I Dream of Genie blink across the country and set these babies in an incubator! Luckily I’ve hoarded lots of packing material from past shipped eggies, so I’m optimistic that we’ll get a decent hatch rate 💜

Jay Jay thought there might be some treats hiding in the rug, she was scratching like crazy! 🤣💜

Normally I wouldn’t let a chicken in the carpet, but she had just taken a giant broody 💩, so I figured I had at least 5 minutes 🤪

We are taking a few days longer than I’d hoped to get out of here, but on the bright side I’ve been able to connect with more chicken friends for one last chat!


Ps- please don’t judge my baseboards, my dogs come in covered in dust multiple times a day and I’m just not a gal who wants to wash baseboards constantly! 😅

Absolutely smitten with this little Araucana cockerel from Wall Canyon Farm 😍😍😍

Isn’t he gorgeous?!

He has been keeping watch from on top of the brooder plate since he came out of the incubator 🥹

I guessed he was a cockerel at hatch because of how pretty and intricate his chick down pattern was, and his behavior seems to confirm it!

I can’t wait to see how he grows out!

Whelp, for the first time in years, we are down to 21 adult birds 😅
(Chicks don’t count so don’t ask!)

***CLAIMED***

Anyone local want a girlie who CANNOT be around boys or mean broodies?

She got her sh*t rocked by a broody and has a head wobble now. I don’t want her injury to be exacerbated or re-injured by breeding.

She is gorgeous—literally my favorite chick from last season from the moment she hatched!

I would keep her in a girls-only pet pen but I’m really worried about the move stressing her out so soon after an injury. Absolutely breaks my heart to let her go but I’m not willing to risk her health further. 💔

She can go with a friend but will still need a very slow, supervised intro to any new girls. Her friend is tiny and not a good bodyguard!

💲1️⃣5️⃣0️⃣ for the pair

DM to claim, pickup in Caldwell ASAP!

Local Chicken Fam, HELP!

My car is not going to fit as many birds as I’d hoped and I need to find a new 🏡 for 8+ cockbirds and cockerels.

I’ve let too many girls go this spring trying to cut numbers and I’ve GOT to offload a few boys at this point. We are supposed to leave Wednesday 😅

Does anyone need some lawn/pasture ornaments?

These boys are currently in the bachelor pen so they are used to free ranging (with shelters) and do a great job watching the sky for hawks.

Many of these boys would be good for breeding, especially if you’re willing to work with faults.

A few pictured below!

DM to discuss!

Pickup in Caldwell, but can negotiate delivery within 1 hour drive if someone will take all!

Someone check on Carl, he’s not doing too good, clearly!

Got some great news from a chicken friend who bartered DNA s*xing for eggies!

Now that I’m breeding Mahogany into my Mille line, it’s much harder to guess the s*x of chicks—my girls are getting just as dark!

I’m going to miss my chicken friends in Idaho 💜
