Unpleasantries of Laying Hens: Death

hobby farm, laying hens

Unpleasantry is putting it nicely.  I must say that the pleasantries outweigh the unpleasantries but there is one unpleasantry that is not something that I wanted to deal with, but was forced to this morning.  I started out with 4 laying hens.  And as they became familiar with their new home they started roosting in the lower branches of the trees Continue reading →

Farm Life: The Ladies New Sleeping Arrangements

hens, hobby farm

I have my own hens now.  My sister gave me 4 of her hens.  White ones – specifically Leghorns or to me “the ladies” or “whities”.  Now that I know what type of hen they are I can find out more about them.  Anyways, it’s been interesting learning about their habits.  They were trained to go in the coop by themselves at dusk.  They just did it.  Now they are in a new home and for the first few weeks they have been doing this.

But for about the last 5 days their sleeping habits have changed.  It started off with two of the hens choosing a place outside. Continue reading →

I thought I would share with you a short video of all our single ladies – our hens that is!
Oh, Henry is one lucky guy to have a harem of 16 ladies.  No wonder he gets a little fiesty when other men come around.

Mini Farm

I collected eggs!  I’ve only done it once so far, but I am sure that over the next few years I will be collecting many eggs.  They are great tasting eggs!  I’m going to use them tonight to make something for supper.  They are free range too!

The goats are cute.  They’re male, so they don’t do too much but eat grass and look pretty.

The llama.  Pretty much the same thing.  He is fun to pet and makes funny noises.  Amusing.

There’s also 3 cats and a dog, but they stick more to the house.

Here is a little video of what you find on our little mini farm!

I think I will enjoy living here and taking care of all the animals (the days I don’t have class).  Although, I do need to invest in a good pair of rubber boots or something instead of wearing my Sister’s every time I go out to the mini farm.

I didn’t see any eggs on the counter when I cam home today, so I better go check and see if there are any out there!

Happy Farming!
