I wonder why nothing grows in this planter? #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamMoth #TeamK2

I sure have pretty #chickens #smallfarmlife

Castiel is hard at work #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamCass

Let us pray at the chicken church

The interlopers went home today. I'm going to miss them. They're very sweet. I hope they remember their time here fondly, and think of me as the giant who cured their scaly leg mite. Bye babies #AvianArmy #chickens

Pancho says Hi 👋 🐔

Say hi to Moth #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamMoth

For reasons best known to herself, Moth decided to go to bed in the old coop tonight. What's more odd is that I knew she was going to do it. What's all that about? Sweet baby got hugs and kisses while I brought her back to the flock. #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamMoth

Tiny Kevin will only lay her eggs in the kitchen. She loves the new privacy curtain/old sheet that now drapes over the dog basket. She feels very fancy. #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamKevin

Where would you like to sleep: the nice roost I made you, or the box of cardboard that I was going to use to floor the coop but now can't because it's full of turds? #AvianArmy #chickens

Castiel has gone broody. I may die of cute overload. #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamCass

❤️ ❤️ ❤️

#chickens My old friends Juanita and Conan. I miss them dearly. 💙

Today we took charge of our first batch of rescue chickens... These birds were about to be slaughtered so we purchased them with the aim of complete rehabilitation. A long road ahead but we are committed to giving them their best life. This poor bird is getting some love right now. #Rescue #Chickens

My sweet little Billy Bilbo Boy passed away this afternoon after a short illness. Two days ago he was crowing and terrorising the local worm population, and now he's... just gone. Fly high sweet boy, you were so loved. #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamBilbo

Mister Kilmeister is enjoying worm day. #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamKilli

The Jubilee Orpington hens all grown up. They are very pretty!

Helloooooooo….

As we arrived in Heptonstall word seemed to get out that we may have brought chicken feed.

hanging out with my children. for my enrichment and theirs.

Laying eggs is hard work. Castiel is sleeping on the job. #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamCass

I think I'm being followed #AvianArmy #chickens

Castiel has found a new place to roost. I had to tell her no, but now I'm wondering if she might like to be a house chicken 🤔 #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamCass

Moth has a new place to sleep. #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamMoth

CHICKY BABIES CUDDLE PUDDLE Now 5 wks, they have their full feathers but exposure to new 🥶 temps that come up suddenly, with heavy 🌧️, can still be dangerous. I put little garden trays full of bedding in their temp coop to give them extra protection. They're all using ONE. 😂 #BackyardChickens #Birds

"What makes you think we have mice?" Well... #CountryLiving #mouse

Who's got hugs? Moth's got hugs! #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamMoth

Tiny Kevin demanded to be up for hugs. Or so I thought. She stole my breakfast while enjoying her favourite podcast. #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamKevin

Very occasionally, Marshmallow wants a hug. We had a lovely time. Then she pooped. #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamMarshmallow

The hinder help is out in force again. #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamPippin #TeamMithrandir

Ron is looking fabulous! #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamRon

Tiny Kevin has decided that her new favourite morning routine involves listening to a podcast on the kitchen table. Who am I to deny her? #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamKevin

Crowley is still broody, so I brought her into the house to ensure she's eating enough. Looking at the size and quantity of her turds I need not have worried. Dear God, the 💩! #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamCrowley

Killì was happily attacking the cabbage when Moth came and told her that it was HER cabbage now. #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamMoth #TeamKilli

Look how happy my Moth is! She's so sweet. #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamMoth

The sun is out and Tiny Kevin is "helping" in the garden #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamKevin

It was a canker! A huge bloody thing growing deep in her throat. No wonder I missed it. It was encroaching on her trachea. Anyway, I got it out and she's feeling much better. Hooray! #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamMoth

We have an indoor Moth! Poor sweet girl is under the weather. I don't know what's wrong. It may just be age (she's 11), or it could be something bad. She's lethargic with horrific breath, but her crop is normal. Plenty of fluids and relaxation for my girl today. #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamMoth

I think they're enjoying it here #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamStumpy

Hey, Crowley! I think you've got enough eggs. #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamCrowley

Mithrandir is laying! It explains why she doubled in weight recently. She's a late bloomer, first egg at 20 months old. Cute. #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamMithrandir

They're settling in nicely. I only have them for 6 weeks, but they're so sweet. #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamStumpy

Togepi knows she’s a diva.

Never has a chicken been so offended by being forced to take medicine. Poor cookie. #chickens #chicken #petcare #vet

We took sweet Scarlett in a couple weeks ago from her momma who could no longer care for her. What's ailing her is a bit of a mystery, but we know lots of things it's *not*. She is on new meds now, so we're keeping our fingers and toes crossed! 🤞💜 #chicken #veganfortheanimals #starlandsanctuary

🐦‍🔥 If the N in MARA was not silent we could be MARAN which is a French chicken breed They are quite beautiful insofar as a namesake goes and come in all kinds of colorways

Our arugula pulled through almost all winter. I just pulled them as they're bolting and don't have much left to give. Chickens are THRILLED with this extra treat! #BackyardChickens #gardensky #GuessWhat

Castiel is in Crowley's spot! The horror! The squeaking! #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamCrowley #TeamCass

I wanted to post a picture of Paul this morning because he is my perfect sweet handsome angel baby, but I couldn't decide which one so here are all of the pics I just took of him. 😍🥰

Tiny Kevin gave me a preen this morning #AvianArmy #chickens #TeamKevin
