My broody hen, Reyna (Purple Reyna), has to be picked up each evening from her chosen nest under the lean-to so she can stretch, preen, and forage a bit before going into the coop for the night. This is our evening ritual. . #imachickentender #chickenmom #australorp

Spending part of this sunny Saturday afternoon being a chicken tender! The baby girls are soon ready to integrate with the older three so we thought they would enjoy some supervised sun time near their new friends. #imachickentender #farmlife #chickenmath

Some of the girls prefer to lay eggs on the ground instead of in the nest boxes. And it shows.😎🥚🥚🥚 #fieldsfarm #fromthecooptothekitchen #eggs #imachickentender #backyardchickens #sustainableliving #organiceggs #thatriversidelife #fresheggsdaily #coloredeggs #todayscollection #fromthecooptothetable #fromthecooptothecarton

The most beautiful thing! This gorgeous handmade ceramic egg holder from @jeffersonstreetceramics and my first dozen fresh eggs! I didn’t think I could love my beautiful blue egg holder more until it was filled with our eggs! I love all of the pieces from Jefferson Street! Once I can make a decent pie crust I’ll show you my pie plate! Ps the salt pinch pot… to die for #fresheggs #bufforpington #easteregger #wyondotte #jeffersonstreetceramics #americanmade #americanhandmade #imachickentender #chickenlife #cookiesbykerri
When you have nurse skills, but you also have hippie essential oil skills & a chicken with a large leg wound of unknown origin… Savannah the Hen enjoys her Epsoms salt soaks, but not the leg dressing with Manuka honey, oregano oil, geranium oil, tea tree oil, and lavender.

Buffy (chicken1): “Lawd! Poor Not Clara! Pyro (Chicken 3): “She looks good though… looks flavorful. Who did the body?” Potato (Chicken 2): “Hattie! You know the one who makes the good cornbread!” Pyro: “Well. That’s good! As long as they didn’t let Barbara do the body!” Buffy: “Chile! I told my children that when I go to let anybody but Barbara do me.” PYRO: “I heard she don’t even season you when it’s your time to go… no Lawry’s or nothing!” Buffy: “That’s a shame!” Potato: “You know when I go I think I want to be fried...” Buffy: “FRIED?!” Potato: “Yes. I hear that a nice way to go.” Pyro: “You know they fried Grady?!” Potato: “Lawd! Not Grady… AIN’T NOBODY TOLD ME NOTHING!” #chickenmomma #chickensofig #chickensofinstagram #friedchicken #imachickentender

So I’ve finally lost my flippin’ mind…we now have a “house chicken” 🤦🏼♀️. This one is 2 1/2 months old and not growing…can’t put it out in the coop so here she is…in my front room. Lol. Maybe with a little TLC she’ll grow?? #chixkensofinstagram #imachickentender #housechicken #dwarfchicken
I love it when my friends support my love for my animals ❤️ thanks for the great toes @cattabunga #nailart #friedeggs #crazychickenlady #ilovemychickens #mackenziebc #acreagelife #imachickentender #bestiesarethebest

The first of many cuteness overload pics!!! 22 babies my sweet friend, Frankie and her fellow teachers hatched from our eggs!!

First group of girls did great during their first night in the coop! It’s still a little cooler than I’d like out, but they’re fully feathered and ready! They were stinking up my porch and being the messiest batch I’ve ever had 😑 it was time. With the cool rain today they’ll stay inside to learn the coop is “home” and hopefully will get some grass time tomorrow! #chickens #freerangechickens #outofthebrooder #biggirls #imachickentender #hobbyfarm #homestead #midwest
Have chickens they say, it's fun they say...real problems of a chicken momma. Ugly decided she wanted momma's snack even though she and her sissys had several snacks today. #thestuggleisreal #snack #homesteading #chickenmomma #imachickentender #ameraucana #snackysnack #chickenscanfly #chickensofinstagram #petstagram #backyardchickens
I present for your viewing pleasure: The Fart Egg in Spring #chickiebobos #imachickentender #chickensofinstagram #eggs #speckledeggs #chickens
No, this is not how you make chicken broth. Chocolate needs an extra TLC today. Not sure why she’s limping and just sad looking but I’m going to figure this one out. #ImAChickenTender #BackyardChickens #featherfriends #rescuedchicken
The view from mom's desk is awesome. #ImAChickenTender #EllieMae
Got my first egg already!! I actually had 2, but one of them didn’t have any shell on it.??? Not sure why that is, but they’re starting to adjust to their new environment. My Easter egger, who laid this pretty blue egg, was least excited about the adjustment. I wasn’t going to name any of them, but I think I’m going to call her Gracie Lou Freebush. 😅 #imachickentender #chickens #chickeneggs #noshellegg #chickennames #gracieloufreebush
The audacity and attitude coming off these chicks in *WAVES* They are always causing trouble. They’re lucky I still think they’re cute. 🙄🐓🐣🐥 #backyardchickens #chickensofinstagram #arizonachickens #imachickentender
26/365 this is Karen and her friends. I pulled in the driveway this evening and she had organized some sort of fowl sit in protest over something. I haven't yet gotten what their cause is but they were forming a feathered blockade to my door giving me that "I want to speak with the manager" look. 🤷🏻♀️😬 #imachickentender #chickensofinstagram #frontporchchickens #homestead #365photochallenge @phillip_daniel_smith @roots_and_refuge
20/365 Sergeant Chip Johnson. Our best yard rooster. He was our first baby chick hatched out by a broody momma here on the homestead. After first time motherhood lost it's charm and he found himself abandoned and not fitting in with the goat yard flock, he wound up roosting in our porch windowsill every night for quite some time, including pecking and clucking at the kitchen window until I turned the porch light on for him. He's grown up now and "moved on" (sleeps in a spot of the old barn) and has his own group of free range ladies that he guards loyally and has been a good sweet boy to us too. #365photochallenge #rooster #babychip #freerangechickens #imachickentender @roots_and_refuge @phillip_daniel_smith

Sometimes we find random chickens in the house. These two biddies are attached at the wing and are incredibly pup-like. They are always begging for treats and following us around. #chickens #imachickentender #wehaveafarm #onewillowfarms #chickenmath #chickenseverywhere
Someone told me the other day “Your chickens eat better than I do!” 😂 I guess that’s true. We tried out some new frozen treats for our chickens this week. their options are Kale, broccoli, watermelon, and mixed fruit. Kale seems to be a favorite. #chickensofinstagram #imachickentender #chickenlady #chickenoftheday #chickencoop #wyandotte #buckeyechicken #lavenderorpington #easteregger #blueplymouthrock #chickenfans #hotweatherchickenkeepingtips #hotweatherchickens #hotweatherchickentreat

We were out and about on this beautiful day today, we helped JP's mom at her storage unit and on the way home we stopped at Deaton's. I've been wanting to get some Brahmas JP knew they had some, so now we have two light Brahmas two buff Brahmas and two more Turkens! And tomorrow we've got more fluffy butts being dropped off from a school hatching project.😃 #yesineedallthesechickens #itendchickens #imachickentender

Did you know that chickens can recognize a human’s face? I’ve read they can recognize up to 100 people! No wonder they go crazy when I walk to the coop, I always bring yummy snacks 🥬 😋 #imachickentender #literally
