...and this is what it looks like (and he's getting photo bombed by one of the girls LOL)! Before I had chickens, I had no idea what molting was or that chickens do this every year (twice in their first year!). The first time I saw it, I was convinced they were all dying. This … Continue reading Molting

"I love going for rides with Mom!" "I decided it's time I start posting selfie for my fans so I tried it out with my little paw...the first was a dud." "Nope. I cut off my nose." "This is better!

I learned many things from my parents' about marriage over the years, and these were things they didn't even know they were teaching me. Actions speak far louder than any words. I'm thankful to have grown up in a … Continue reading Happy anniversary!
