Best effort 🤷‍♀️ #selfies aren’t our strength.

I promise to stop geeking out over these dark brown eggs </lies> but the SAME chicken laid these. Her “ink cartridges” are warming up to make Miss Plum the darkest layer in the yard. She also holds the title for “fluffiest butt.”

Why is this #chickeninabox? Barbara Wingsolver wasn’t feeling so hot the other morning. In fact, since it was freezing, she was feeling very cold.

Check you out, Miss Eula. Molting or not, you’re the cold hardiest of the cold hardy birds. Days like this, I’m grateful we took the time to carefully select chicken breeds suited for mountain weather. While she can easily stay cool in the shade during our mild summers, Miss Eula’s feathered feet, pea comb, and small wattles reduce the heat she loses in freezing cold weather. She’s basically a walking mummy bag with a sassy ‘tude and a core body temp of 105 degrees. #brahmachicken #chicken #backyardchickens #brrrr #chickenfacts

Don’t ask me to grow too many pumpkins. I’m bad at it. But when there are successes, there will be #pepitas! And tasty snacks for the flock. #tajin #handchairdontcare #handchair #pumpkin #homestead #autumn #autumnvibes #freshfood #eatwelllivewell

Not getting many eggs these days, as winter approaches and hens molt, but the ones we do get are fun colors! It’s amazing how much variety there is in the world of chickens. #eastereggers #creamlegbar #blackcoppermarans #fresheggs #eggrainbow #mypetsmakemebreakfast #backyardchickens #homestead
