This #Camellia always blooms just in time for Thanksgiving! It is nearly 15 feet tall, requires zero maintenance and is evergreen. That’s my kind of flower!

I think I might need one that’s just a little bigger… #fabtech #bandsaw

You absolutely wish you could rock the wet look like Kahlo. She slays.

Hey Bryce! Have you figured out how to eat the lettuce yet? I see you have a little on your beak.
Anyone know what kind of chicken Bryce is?

My chicken food garden is doing really well this year. This cabbage thing just developed a white center. It looks really pretty with the purple kale thing.

Of course we are all forced to drink out of this mud puddle. The fresh water in the containers you provide is literally TOO FAR away. (The waterer is visible in the background of this photo. Monsters.)

Please help me name this baby! She is a #SicilianButtercup. She is very inquisitive but a little shy. She is both a chaser and chasee. I am partial to historical, punny, and long names. Not Goldie – too easy. Let’s go!

#TBT to when Becky was just a tiny thing. They grow up so fast!

Some sort of kale thing. It will grow all winter here and I can feed it to the chickens. Also, pretty.

It’s cold and windy here today. Miss Hawkins and Sonia have activated super-puff mode to stay warm. I have activated puffer jacket mode. Brrrr.

Chicken play in three parts: Becky wants down but is very bad at jumping. Miss Hawkins is giving advice. Then there is a chase going on off to the side so Sonia and the #SilverGreyDorking get closer to me for protection. Finally, Becky manages a jump! And, scene. All drama, all the time.

New name alert! This is Kahlo. She is named after Frida Kahlo, the famous Mexican artist most known for her self portraits. Kahlo the Chicken is also very into selfies and, while I do not think she has eyebrows, makes a strong hair statement in her own way. Welcome Kahlo!

Hopefully there is a beautiful modern #gate for my #driveway hiding in here. My plan was to cover it in #ipe but today I’m leaning toward #massaranduba or #cumaru . #overkill #fabrication #deerfencing #drivewaygates #drivewaygate

Do you grow crops just for your chickens? I have so many heads of cabbage growing that they may not be able to keep up. I hope I don’t have to eat any! Ew.

The first minute of The Merge! I opened the small door between the two runs and now the adults and babies are interacting in an an enclosed space! Turn up the volume! Vi and Big Red are hiding in the corner complaining. The babies are using the excellent strategy of staying on the high perches. So far, no fights. They’ve been interacting in the yard for about 2 months so I am hoping this is not too much of a struggle. Fingers crossed!

My arugula is extra zesty this season! I think this green is best served wilted, on pizza. Or maybe just pizza.

Oh, Ms. Hawkins! Your beauty is, let’s say, indescribable. That awkward stance. That beard/cheeks combo. It’s just so…much.

No Glo, no! Wait for the broccoli to grow heads. I’ll get you some kale. I’m not going to eat that anyway.

Self portrait. This one lacks respect for personal space.

These two nimrods figured out how to fly on top of the fence but now can’t get down! The chickens on the ground are freaked out because their sisters are on the fence and the chickens on the fence are yelling because they can’t get to the ground.

0.78% of 26.4 gallon tank minus probably .5 gallons in the filter, pump and lines times 15mpg = 3.03 miles. It took 25.01 gallons with the filler neck so there is room to go further. Sometimes it’s good to know just how far you can push things. #donttrythisathome #runningonempty #mercedes #sprintervan # ultragauge

This bush grew a flower! I think that may have been the plan all along. Fancy.

Hey Bryce. Want the lettuce? No? Just a stare down? Ok.
Note: the tail in this photo belongs to Becky. Tricky, aren’t they?

Well look at that! Becky is growing a beard too! I have the prettiest girls. (?)

The tag says Rumex Raspberry Vinaigrette. Last year the deer ate it to the ground in the fall and it sprouted back up in the spring! I replanted it this year and hope to eat some. We’ll see!

Hold the pepper.
Why?
I want to take a picture. Duh.

Dear Sonia,
I am concerned that you have a large comb and wattles that your sister Ruthie does not have. However, you show no signs of being aggressive. Just a fashion statement?
Please be a hen.
Love,
Jesse

Oh my god Vi! I’m on the ground trying to take pictures. I am not distributing treats. Get out of the frame! (And how cute is Donna in the back left? Did someone say treats?)

This is Wilga! I choose to pronounce it with a Germanic bent – think Vilga. She is a #Faverolle, sporting the trademark beard. She is named after Wilgefortis, a female saint of popular religious imagination whose legend arose in the 14th century, and whose distinguishing feature is a large beard. Her name is thought by some to derive from the Old German “heilige Vartez” (“holy face”). Thanks @wikipedia! So, this is holy face the chicken! Love her!

Big Red Chicken gives excellent side eye! My four big girls are now 6.5 years old. They are still laying about two eggs a day between them. They are as spunky as ever. I assume they’ll live to be 100.

My toad crop this year has been excellent. I wonder what I did to cause this? Is this a frog? I feel like his fingers say “frog” but his colors say “toad.”

A little Lancaster County Covered Bridge beauty. I went on a scooter tour with @strasburgscooters and saw the most beatiful farmland. Highly recommend!

Nature walk! These flower clusters were each the size of a pencil eraser. I didn’t realize they were individual flowers until I looked at the picture! The #LancasterCountyPark has excellent trails, waterways and wildlife. Highly recommend.
