Remember the chickens?
In case you are new to The Little Hen House, I started out my little urban farming endeavor with four chickens in my backyard. Here they are/were, or whatever.

I know, I’m a cutthroat beyotch like that.… Read More

Remember the chickens?
I know, I know. I haven’t written about them in a while.
There are a few reasons why they haven’t made an appearance on ye olde blog lately, but it basically boils down to this: They are pretty boring.
It seems that the novelty of my miniature urban farming experiment has worn off and we’ve kind of settled into life here at The Little Hen House.… Read More

Last week was busy here at The Little Hen House; the chickens were all over the place:
First, my article was published in San Diego Home and Garden Lifestyles magazine. Then, a local television station came to my house to shoot four live segments for the morning news. And since I didn’t fall on my face or curse on live TV, I thought I would share a clip of it with you.… Read More

A while back I told you about my Urban Farming Fail, in which all my vegetables were half-dead and my chicken coop was in a general state of disarray just as San Diego Home and Garden was coming to shoot photos for an article I had written.
Well, the article has been published and can be seen in the September issue of San Diego Home and Garden.… Read More

I’m just going to break it to you quickly:
We got rid of Dagny.
And no, “getting rid of her” isn’t code for butchering. Ew.

Yesterday was so much fun; I wanted to share a little of it with you:
- We started out the day by picking strawberries from the garden and then we ate them out on the deck while listening to the hens lay their morning eggs.
- In preparation for the big parade, we decorated our wagon.

You aren’t seeing double. I accidentally posted this yesterday. Whoops! Let’s try this again…..
If you read Monday’s post, you know that our bossiest and neck-pecking hen Dagny escaped the confines of our backyard and was presumably roaming the streets of the urban metropolis we call home. To be honest with you, I wasn’t 100% upset about her disappearance.… Read More
