We came back from vacation and there were not nearly as many eggs as there should have been. I put a camera in the coop to find out what was going on. I was thinking it was a snake, somehow turned out to be a skunk!
I guess today is going to be investigating how the skunk gets in. -

A Day in the Life at Duffney’s Bird Barn
How I balance a remote career, homesteading, crochet, writing, and motherhood—one day at a time. People often ask me how I find time to do everything. Honestly... Some days I wonder the same thing. The weeds don't always get pulled. The laundry doesn't always get folded. The dishes aren't always done when I want them to be. Some crochet projects take longer than I planned, and there are days when my to-do list is still staring back at me when it's time for bed. I've learned that's […]https://duffneysbirdbarn.wordpress.com/2026/07/13/a-day-in-the-life-at-duffneys-bird-barn/

At Urban Farm Oasis in Berkeley, where we do our home grower cannabis deliveries, they have a "chicken coop in the sky". I'd been wondering what that little building was up there. They have five laying hens and seven younger ones not yet laying.

Grace has laid some plump-ass eggs recently. Bigger than any previous years.
She then took a day break. And the one after that was a super thin and long one lol.

One of our hens is gone within the past few hours. Only some feathers remain - no sign of her body. I'm guessing that our local bobcat finally got interested.
We lost another to natural causes a few weeks ago, so now we are down to one 😢

CW: Sad about our chicken.
Not sure I’ve ever cried so much as over Agatha, our rescue chicken who has died suddenly, before she had a change to regrow feathers. These ex-commercial egg hens are often in such an awful state even though they’re “free range”. She had six months of happy foraging though, at least. #chickens #backyardchickens #rescuehens

Those of you with chickens, how to you feed them? Do you groe any of their food? Do you buy ready-made food? Do you mix ingredients yourself? Do you compost in the coop area? How? How often do you feed?
We still have half a bag of dry chick feed because its what the old hen is used to but we want proper food for them. Just like with the dog, I want real food for them, not dry kibble.

Great that you're getting them used to human touch. They'll be more social as they mature.

Dangit. I'm pretty sure a bobcat figured out it can easily hop over our 6' hog wire enclosure to the chickens and jump back out with a bird in its mouth. I've seen one walk past many times but a couple of weeks ago we lost a duck and today a chicken. I don't mind losing a bird to a predator once in a while, but I have a feeling this has become an easy spot to get a meal. This is happening during daylight when the chickens are in their run, for context.
I think a rooster might help, but they can be such assholes. Does anyone have experience with a goose as a flock protector?
