The Micro.blog challenge word for day 26 is “favourite”. Since it’s Flock Friday, I’ll admit that my favorite chicken is Merida. She’s just so friendly, always coming up to me to greet me, and lets me pet her. 🐓📷 #mbfeb

On the homestead blog: this week was an exciting milestone: the ducks started laying eggs. #FlockFriday 🦆🐓

The Micro.blog challenge word for day 21 is “colors”. Here’s a picture of our custom chicken coop from the recent ice storm, with the translucent icicles and white snow adding to the many colors of the coop, inspired by Caribbean houses. 📷 #mbfeb
The Micro.blog challenge word for day 19 is “alive”. Quality feed not only keeps our chickens alive, but also healthy, happy, and productive, when combined with tasty treats. 🐓📷 #mbfeb
On the homestead blog: some snowy duck and chicken pictures, plus the ducks using the new island, which makes me happy. #FlockFriday 🦆🐓
The Micro.blog challenge word for day 4 is “layers”. Our 19 chickens are good layers, averaging about 14 eggs per day in summer; the number reduces to only one or two during fall molting, but is starting to ramp up again now, at about five per day. 🐓🥚📷 #mbfeb
