Backyard Heaven In The City

Got our first "fart egg" today. Yea. That's what it's actually called. That's it next to the bantam egg which is tiny as it is. Lol.

Chicken scratch. Our favorite. Easy way to get them to come running out of the coop!

Steel cut oatmeal. Yum!

My new sign on the run! ☮️💜🐓

Taking a drink. 💜

The girls love their new mirror in their run. ☮️💜🐓

My view on this lazy Sunday. Hope everyone is enjoying the day!

The extent of my ingenuity. A feed scooper from a gallon milk jug. Works good!

Tried a new liner for the bottom of the nest boxes. This should ensure they don't end up breaking an egg when they lay. Keeps them from kicking out all the shavings too.

The chicken whispered saying hi to the girls.

Got all 12 in one picture. Little piggies were waiting for their morning treats.

Pingu, our black copper maran, just started laying beautiful dark brown eggs. Love my colorful egg cartons. Can't get these in the store! ☮️💜🐓

Yea! Our second first time layer in one day! Cinnamon our Easter Egger laid her first greenish tinted egg. ☮️💜🐓. Love my girls.
