Chicken jumpers

by Kathi D on May 26, 2009

There, I’ve done it. According to my blog pal Melissa, mere mention of chicken jumpers will increase my readership something like sixty trillion per cent, if only for a moment or two. Although you might be cringing at the thought of chicken suicides, it’s actually about chicken sweaters, which is what we in The Colonies [...]

I got yer chickens right here

by Kathi D on February 17, 2009

It’s not that I don’t still love my chickens, no, no, no. It’s just that they have persisted in refusing to do anything newsworthy lately. Yes, they have been molting and in need of chicken jumpers, but I didn’t want to type those words because I don’t want to steal traffic from my blog pal [...]

Hanging with the chickens

by Kathi D on October 27, 2008

So, the chicken coop. I had to bury a chicken last week, and that got me started on my chicken obsession [...]

Here’s one for the chicken lovers

by Kathi D on September 18, 2008

I have the hardest-working girls in the egg bidness right here. There have been several 10-egg days, and even on a slow day there are seven eggs. Not bad for only a dozen hens, eh? Honi is growing bigger and more handsome, and runs a nice clean coop operation.

Their favorite treat is watermelon, but [...]

Would you like fries with this catch-up?

by Kathi D on September 12, 2008

I usually try to respond to comments in my comments section, but these puppehs are stealing my time lately. I have the feeling that I am running at top speed all day long with not much to show for it at the end of the day. Well, except for lots of uzzy wuzzy snuggle-ups, that [...]

We had a heavily literary weekend in Sun Valley at the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference, which was just as awesome as always. This was our fourth time there, and it’s our favorite event of every year. I’ll have lots to say about it later on. For now I will report that I discussed the laying [...]
