No matter where you were in the world a few days ago, I’m almost certain you heard me scream when I casually walked into the stall and found this “friend” hanging out in the water bucket. 😳 Our livestock guardian dog, River was not happy about it and I had front row seats for this show down as I hid like a big chicken behind the closed stall doors. Raccoon was run off by River, likely never to venture in her territory again.

🥚 FAIRY EGGS: One of our chicken ladies laid a fairy egg today and I figured I would share it with you!
These tiny eggs are somewhat of a “manufacturing defect as the egg comes down the assembly line.” It is produced when the egg white begins forming before the yolk is released during ovulation. This can happen for a few reasons….a young hen, an older hen, a stressed hen, a calcium deficiency, or just randomly. I recently swapped brands of organic feed, so this is my indicator that the ladies preferred the previous feed with a bit more calcium. Looks like we are now switching back to previous feed. 🤷♀️
