Chick season 🐥🧺

goldfish crackers.

"Help me!" 🐔 This is where most eggs come from.. factories. This is standard industry practice. It is very common to see the dead among the my living. The only time the chickens ever see the sun is on their way to the slaughterhouse. End violence to animals. __ #govegan #vegan #veganism #whyvegan #chicken #chickens #chickensofig #chickensofinstagram #eggs #eggindustry #standardpractice #animalrights #eggsalad #eggrecipe #eggsandwich #omelette #omeletterecipes #vegetarian #animalagriculture #animalag #food #factoryfarm #ketodiet #eggsarecruel #cbcnews #truthseeker https://www.instagram.com/p/CpV4C3YJkyO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Chicken math is cute, but it isn’t really practical for everyone. Egg rainbows make pretty pictures….but ya can’t eat an instagram square for breakfast. Sure out here we can own 40 hens and by free ranging or pasturing we are able to limit our costs. That simply isn’t the case for everyone. Maybe you live in an hoa with a cap on hen counts, maybe you don’t need so many eggs, perhaps your budget just doesn’t allow you to own 40 laying hens at a time. That’s okay! Here are some real life suggestions on how to keep it simple, live within the confines of your budget, space, and regulations. Forget about the egg rainbow. We’ve always thought that was silly anyway. Mamaw didn’t care what color her eggs were, you shouldn’t either. Pick a breed based on your weather and needs. Not all hens are meant for the frigid cold winters of way up north and others don’t fare well in Florida. Some lay pretty eggs but only around 100-150 a year versus the not colorful 300 of another. Egg rainbows might make a pretty square but Instagram squares aren’t edible yall. Focus less on the aesthetic and more on the function. Don’t worry about the bragging rights of owning dozens. Instead think practically and purposefully, choose what fits your actual needs. Do nothing for the gram. . . . . . . . #forthegram #chickenmath #chickensofinstagram #layinghens #hens #hensofinstagram #practicalwisdom #wisdom #purposefulliving #purposeful #reallife #folkcore #cottagecore #gardencore #simpliving #slowfashion #simpleandstill #recipes #recipe #f52grams #f52community #easyrecipes #quickrecipes #recipeshare #recipeideas #oldfashionedonpurpose #homesteadmama #homesteadmamas #homeschoolmom #homeschoolmama https://www.instagram.com/p/Cno06Z-uyV6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Checking the nest boxes, I was startled by a quiet "buk-buk?" and a curious little head. Beaker was ALSO checking out the nest boxes. Despite still being our smallest, I think she may beat Camilla to laying!

This is George. George is going to keep an eye on you. Do not think you can get anything past George. If you’d like to give George a good home, he’s in my shop now. 5x7 gouache on paper. Also, I teach a class about painting chickens if you’d like to paint your own George. . . . #chickensofinstagram #petchickensofinstagram #petchickens #petchicken #chickenpainting #birdpainting #birdpaintings #chickenportrait #birdpainter #birdportrait #birdportraits #birdillustration #chickenillustration (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNbGBIyHDMT/?igshid=mmxfbdhda8sl
