Blacula the Chicken
Our small flock of chickens that we had when we were living in Long Beach, California all had names. Awesome names. Ridiculous names. Lady Cluckington. Turban. The Doublemint Twins, aka Eggatha Christie and Judy Plume. Geronimo. Old Yeller. Big Momma. You’re not supposed to name chickens that you’re in theory going to eat someday. And…

Wild America in Our Own Backyard
Recently, I went out to the backyard for something and was greeted with an unexpected visitor just hanging out on our lawn. The second I came out the door he booked it, making haste for the wall.

The Continued Adventures in Backyard Chicken Ownership…
Yesterday Josh walks into our office and says what no chicken owner wants to hear: “We’re missing a chicken.” Ummmm WHAT?!?! How are we missing a chicken?! I mean, last fall I saw a hawk hanging around our backyard cuz he was looking for a chicken dinner, but that was because our dog was in…

Backyard Garden Bounty!
We’ve started seeing awesome results from some of our backyard garden! Corn, jalepenos, onions, tomatoes, garlic – it’s all there and accounted for! I say awesome results from some of our backyard garden because other crops have not faired as well… Chickens, I’m looking in your direction when I say our strawberries and broccoli have…
