Hey y’all. Ya ever notice that some black chickens "shine"? ✨️

Most people see a black chicken and think… “just black.”

But catch them in the right light and suddenly—💚🔥

That deep green shimmer you’re seeing is called iridescence. It’s not a different feather color—it's how the feather structure reflects sunlight. The better the feather quality, the stronger that glow ✨

Breeders actually look for this on birds like these and … it’s a quiet sign of strong genetics and good health.

Now I’ve gotta ask…

👉 Do your black chickens shine green in the sun, or are they staying matte?

🚨 Brooder Update 🚨

Had one try to escape this morning… but not on my watch.

Apparently, somebody discovered they might have wings and decided to test the limits 😅

Let this be a warning to the rest of the flock—
any further attempts will result in immediate relocation to solitary confinement.

Around here, we run a tight ship…
Warm. Fed. And definitely not airborne 🐥🚫

From coop to basket… these are a few of the eggs that made us stop and appreciate the little things.

Every one a little reminder of why we do this 🥚🐓

🩸Blood spots, meat spots… The names given to these tiny imperfections can really ruin an appetite.

But it’s just an innocent little drop of blood from the vitelline membrane after it breaks open.

It’s completely normal and harmless but you won’t see them in commercial eggs as those yolks get delegated for use in dried egg products.

You can scoop it out or leave it in but either way your farm fresh eggs will still be delicious.

Maybe we need to rebrand these spots… 🩸 Iron orbs? Hemo globs?…

Y’all… the flies are trying to take over the homestead 😅

With all this recent rain, everything is just a little too perfect for them right now. Moisture + manure + feed scraps = a full-blown fly explosion. If you know, you know… it doesn’t take long before chores start feeling like a battle.

We’ve been staying on top of the usual things—keeping bedding fresh, managing waste, and not letting anything sit too long—but sometimes you need a little extra help.

And I finally found something that actually WORKS.

We put out a hanging fly trap ( Ranch Fly Trap ) near the coops (not right inside—trust me on that one), and within a few hours it was already doing its job. By day two… let’s just say it was both satisfying and a little gross 🤢😂

But the difference around the coops? Noticeable.

Less buzzing, less stress on the birds, and chores feel a whole lot more peaceful again.

If you’re dealing with the same post-rain fly boom, I’d definitely recommend giving one a try. Just hang it a little ways away from where you spend the most time, and let it do its thing.

Homesteading isn’t always pretty… but it sure is worth it.
