Philippe’s First Crow!

Posted on May 9, 2018May 9, 2018

Can Philippe really fill Boy George the Rooster’s fab shoes?

I was so worried when I introduced Philippe to my existing rooster Boy George. You just never know how roosters are gonna get along, if at all. To my surprise, Boy George was friendly to Philippe. In fact, my keen chicken intuition indicated that Boy George was looking to make Philippe the son he never had, and pass down his great Chickenlandia legacy to him. But there was something he needed to observe before he made that final decision. He needed to hear the strength of Philippe’s first crow.

Is Philippe worthy of filling Boy George’s shoes? Boy George has always had the most magnificent crow. Our lucky friends and neighbors can hear him far and wide, singing, “KarmaKarmaKarmaCockadoodleDoo!” or something like that.

Well, it just so happens I was able to catch Philippe’s first crow on video (okay, so it wasn’t his ACTUAL first crow but pretty close!). You can check it out on Welcome to Chickenlandia’s new YouTube Channel! Don’t forget to like the video and subscribe to my channel so you can see all the Chickenlandia fun. <3

So, what do you think? Does Philippe’s first crow pass the test?

#ChickenMath and a NEW YouTube Channel!

Posted on May 3, 2018May 3, 2018

Some of you that follow me on Facebook and Instagram might remember a sweet little chick I brought home from one of my Scratch and Peck Feeds ambassador events. The event was held on a Saturday, at a farm store that had just received a new batch of baby chicks.

But one wasn’t doing well. She was listless and peeping. The employees told me they wouldn’t be able to help her the next day, as the store would be closed. Of course I had to take her home! To see a video of me syringe feeding her, click here.

Lucky actually bounced back well once I got her home and started some emergency TLC. With regular feedings of egg yolk and vitamins, she appeared to be making a breakthrough, so I decided to get her a couple of friends. That’s when Poptart and Philippe entered our lives! #ChickenMath, amIright???

Over the next couple of weeks, Poptart and Philippe thrived, but I noticed something wasn’t quite right with little Lucky. She didn’t grow normally and I knew there was something wrong. I tried so hard to save her but she flew over the rainbow bridge. She died very loved by the Chickenlandia family!

Lucky has gone, but Poptart and Philippe are still here warming our hearts. Even though I already have a rooster, I’m hoping to keep Philippe. If it turns out I can’t, I’ll send him to live with my very good friends over at Barclay Farm Retirement Sanctuary. (If you would like to make a donation to the Barclay Farm, click here!)

So, it’s been a Spring of many ups and a few downs. But I have some very exciting news! My new Youtube Channel has officially launched! Check out this fun vlog about Poptart and Philippe by clicking below. Make sure to like my video and subscribe to my channel for more chicken fun. <3

The First Man’s Surprise

Posted on April 20, 2018April 20, 2018

The First Man has a very hectic schedule. A few days ago, he came home for just an hour after working on this super cool train project, and then left for another several days on another trip. Such is the life of The First Man. That, and dealing with my metamorphosis into The President of Chickenlandia.

The First Man has many amazing qualities, but one of the best is his willingness to support my chicken love. His hard work is one of the main reasons Chickenlandia exists at all. And he always indulges my #ChickenMath tendencies. Which I guess is why he surprised me during his short time home with something amazing! But what is it? Even Missy, The Baby Demogorgon of Chickenlandia, was eager to find out (bottom left).

My kids and I were anxious to open it up and see!

Okay so there were a few glitches…

But with a little perseverance, we finally got it open!

I could already tell that Teddy, The Chupacabra of Chickenlandia, was waiting for an opportunity to pee on it. So I moved it into the hallway.

Thank you so much to The First Man for bringing me this rooster from Found Objects in McMinnville, Oregon! I’ve got some big plans for it. Stay tuned and sign up for Chickenlandia News and Stories to see what happens!
