  1. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐔🎨 A single MC1R gene acts as a molecular dimmer for feather color, and researchers found 18 variants that combine to create #chickens#rainbow of #plumage.

    By reading the #genomes of over 10,000 #birds, they traced how these mutations accumulated since #domestication.

  3. #Chookingham now has a broody jail. We split off a couple m² in the closed run (with roof) with wire and put a smaller feeder & water-er.

    Baby has been put in Broody Jail, and it is so sad seeing her doing the "I want out of here! I want back in the nest with my (non-existing) babies!"

    Hopefully it won't take too long, she's already been broody for two days. (My watch just told me to chill the F)

  4. I'm trying this kind of #mousetrap for the first time. I kind of want to sit by the window all day and watch.

    If you have #chickens, you also have #mice

  5. Today I’d like to share just some happy highlights from us picking up our #FarmShare for the week. Oh the #Chickens were so happy

  6. CW: Long introduction post

    Making a #Introduction is kind of intimidating, but I'll try...

    Hi! I'm Nicole/Nic. I'm an #ElderMillenial living in the #woods in the #PNW with my #puppy in a little purple cottage I built. I'm ambivalent about pronouns, but they/them is good.

    I'm a #queer #nonbinary #unschooling #parent of two teens. In my previous life
    I was an #RN, but thanks to a #BrainTumor and #dysautonomia, I'm now #disabled with #ChronicMigraine, #ChronicPain, and #POTS. Also, #HardOfHearing / #SingleSidedDeaf, #FacialParalysis, and #ExecutiveDysfunction. Now I'm a #RadicalHomemaker and a wannabe #farmer. When my body is up for it I piddle around outside #building things, doing #projects, learning about whatever interests me, and trying my best to be a good #LandSteward to the forest. And since being #rural can be kind of lonely, I listen to a lot of #leftist and #comedy podcasts.

    In addition to my kids and coparent, I share my yard with my #chickens and #ducks, a small, young #FoodForest, #flower and #herb gardens, and lots of #NativeForest with all the native critters. I'm an #anticapitalist, #anarchist ( #anarchocommunist ), #buddhist, #EarthCenteredSpirituality, #lgbtq, #queer ( #Butch4Butch & #T4T ), #polyamorous, #RelationshipAnarchist.

    Here's a bunch of tags of other things that interest me:
