Sophie got out and helped feed the chickens today. She doesn't quite have the hand strength to open the buckets, but if I do that part for her she's good to go! It's nice to have them taking on some of

Today's daily chicken is Fluffer again. Sawyer was looking for acorns in the run and I wanted to capture the moment. Fluffer was first in line today :) I wonder if the chickens will eat acorns... Join

Kiddos helping with the chickens this morning! Farmer Sam and Sophie got the water while I fed and Babo petted. Happy family time this morning.

My helper buddy Farmer Sam was off school today! This was a surprise to me. When I got home and he ran out to help, I about cried. He helped with the feeding and watering, really our only chore for now.

Got out with the kiddos to feed the chickens between projects. Sophie came out first, so she was more helpful. The chickens have taken to hopping up in my lap and into my hands. They're really getting

Did I miss yesterday too?! Goodness, I need to get back on a schedule. Here's babo holding Koekoek, our larger dominicker. They're getting so big! I have a five day weekend coming up, and I plan to make

We're having fresh organic cucumbers with dinner tonight. Melissa is missing out! The boys and I are doing big work in the garden today, I'll post about it later. Prolly sneak in a daily chicken as well.

It's been a while since we watered. All the rain has kept the ground damp. This was our first watering in over a week. Sam wanted to help, and I was happy to oblige! Everything got bigger after the rain.

Farmer Sam and Soul Sister. To be fair, whichever dominicker is being held at the time is named soul sister, but only one is the real Soul Sister. She's usually spending time by herself, but jumps right

Super double extra cute. Yeah, I'm using my kids to market my chicken pictures. But that's okat cause it's all so dang cute! Babo didn't want to hold the chicky himself, but he was content to pet it. Steepshot

Farmer Sam and one of the dominickers. These ones are faster and more skittish than the sex links, but they'll sit in your hand pretty good. Sam lit up pretty good when I told him to gently get one. Steepshot

Today's daily chicken is big roo! He says "wtf is that and why haven't you brought any cicadas today?" No cicadas because it rained. Apparently torrentially because it doubled our collected water

Sam has taken a liking to honeydew melons lately, so he decided to plant a few and see what happens! It's late in the season, but there's quite a while before first frost, so I think it'll work out. We'll
