What was this?! My guess is just a stress relief??? She does this every once in a while! But I’ve never seen my other hens do this!

There she is! The first bumblebee of the year! Anyone know how to tell the difference between a male and female bumblebee?

Not interested?? Scroll on! 🤣

What’s different about a broody 💩? Broody hens slow down their metabolism, eat less, and p**p far less often! They are dedicated to siting on those eggs and do not want to leave them often! Mama hen also does not want to dirty her eggs. She will only relieve herself once a day or less!

Why am I telling you this? If you have a broody hen, and you notice her release a baseball size amount of loose 💩, I’m hoping to spare you the alarm you might face in wondering if she is okay! 😅

I know I was alarmed when marshmallow did this last year! But I wasn’t prepared for it… I didn’t have a safe space for her and her babies at the time and it was going to be a cold night. So, I brought her inside in a brooder box where she then relieved herself in the brooder tote and stunk up my living room 😅

FINALLY finding the time to get the tomatoes in the ground. We’ve been using our vegetable garden for 10 years, and it is time for a year of rust. It was becoming overridden with blight issues. So my husband threw some compost down on the edge of the driveway and we’re going to throw the tomatoes in here and hope for the best! My plan here is to put a bunch in and hope for just a medium harvest.

I was a little concerned when I came out and couldn’t find this mama anywhere in the barn! And then I peeked around the corner and saw her with her babies in the long grass 🥰
