My neighbors chicken decided to lay her eggs in my bag of Miracle Gro soil on my porch! :)
Oh, the cluck-tastic chaos of chicken ownership! Our latest submission from /u/Main-Cry1859 paints a delightfully relatable picture: a neighbor’s hen decided your Miracle Gro was the *perfect* spot for a nest! Attempts at a friendly pet were met with, understandably, some feathered flight. We've all been there, right? It’s a reminder that even the most charming feathered friends can keep us on our toes. Don’t worry, you’re not alone in navigating these fowl encounters. Sometimes, it's more than just a rogue egg-laying session—as seen in our article, "Hens with poop on their butt," where readers shared tips on dealing with messy rear ends! Check it out for more quirky chicken conundrums and community solutions.
Lost this linebacker to the heat today
It’s with a cluck-tastic sadness that we share the news of Peggy’s passing. Our beloved Chocolate Orpington, a beautiful lady weighing in at 8.6 lbs, succumbed to the heat today. Peggy was a real character, known for laying the tiniest, most precious cream eggs – a delightful contrast to her substantial size! Losing a feathered friend is always tough, and we’re sending heartfelt condolences to /u/Necessary_Many_766. This serves as a stark reminder of the importance of heat preparedness for our flock. For those interested in observing our chickens in their natural habitat, you might find our "Peckington Square Chicken City Livestream 24/7 Cam" a fascinating look at daily life on the farm. Rest easy, Peggy.
