Happy Thanksgiving from Happy Chickens!
Simonetta and a photo bomber!
It’s cold here with temperatures falling into the teens at night now, but my juvenile birds are doing well. I just can’t say enough how much fun I’ve had raising these birds up.
Some mornings they seem a little cranky for the cold, but are otherwise as lively as ever. A warm breakfast and some “coffee” doesn’t hurt either.
For breakfast, I’ve been preparing two servings of warm oatmeal and mixing in a little special feed mix to warm their little bellies.
- 2/3 cup of scratch
- 1/3 cup of Boss
- 1/3 cup of calf manna
Oatmeal, Boss, Calf Manna, and Scratch
Coffee? Just some warm water with a shot of apple cider vinegar and occasionally I throw in a smashed clove of garlic. Voila! Chicken coffee. 😉
Whether it’s helping them cope with the frigid temperatures or not, they definitely enjoy it!
Finishing what stuck to the pot and spoon. Waste not … 🙂
