Yes, it continues to be a looooooooooong winter. Ugh. Even we native Puget Soundians are getting antsy.

~*~DID YOU KNOW~*~

Chickens will begin their first molt at about 18 months of age... they will gradually lose feathers while replacing the lost feathers with beautiful new feathers. During this time they will stop producing eggs and focus all their energy into 're-feathering'. A molt generally takes 2-4 months and will occur about every 18 months. { Usually when you have an important show coming up.... ;) }

So don't panic when you see a pile of feathers and your chickens aren't laying... it's probably their molt-time.

People keep saying 'my hen is broody ... what on earth does that mean??'

Broody means that a hen is wanting to sit on eggs to hatch them. She will have laid enough eggs to build a clutch and will be ready to sit on the nest for the next 21 days. Some chickens, like Silkies, don't even need to have an egg under them to go broody~they have such a strong instinct to sit on a nest. People use them for hatching eggs from other chickens. If you have been gathering your eggs from under your broody hen because you want to eat them, she will sometimes just sit on the empty nest until she is no longer broody. She will not lay eggs during this time. People try to "bust a broody" by putting them in a pen or a hutch to separate them from the nest. I don't usually worry about it, but I do make sure they are eating enough..they don't come off the nest but maybe once or twice to eat and go potty. The brood WILL end eventually. :)
