Cottage Lane Rabbitry and Farm

Those round bellies are starting to look less “cute” and more “logistical challenge.” Dolly and Ronnie might want to start filing a game plan before attempting those pen steps—because right now it’s less “graceful entrance” and more “hope and a prayer.”
They waddle into their stalls at night like they’ve just finished an all-you-can-eat buffet, then bust out every morning ready to free-range like nothing happened.
And Ronnie… 27 days to go.
Tick tock, mama. Those steps aren’t getting any lower. 🐐

BREAKING NEWS: FARM HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY TAKEN OVER
As of this morning, the animals have seized full control of the homestead. Management (me) has been relieved of duties and is now working under strict supervision.
Chickens are in charge of scheduling.
• Egg production meetings now start at 4:37 AM sharp. No excuses.
Goats have taken over landscaping.
• Trees? Optional. Fence lines? Also optional. Chaos? Mandatory.
Ducks are running water management.
• Every puddle has been expanded into a “luxury waterfront feature.”
Rabbits are handling security.
• If you don’t see them… they see you.
Harley has been promoted to Head of Morale.
• Current strategy: naps and emotional support.
Meanwhile, I’ve been reassigned to:
• Feed delivery
• P**p removal
• General servant duties
Wait, isn't that what I have always done?
Please send help… or snacks. Mostly snacks. Goats prefer animal crackers.

When Facebook wants you to post 30 posts for your weekly goal and all you got is straw in your boots and a lemon that the chickens didn't think was good enough for them. 😎

This is not another “look at my pretty colored eggs” post… because that’s just not me.
No filtered fluff. No AI-perfect hens. Just real life.
Today, we’re talking about molting.
If you’ve got laying hens, you’ve seen it—or you will. It’s not pretty. Feathers everywhere, patchy backs, birds looking like they lost a fight with a pillow.
Molting is completely natural and happens to all chickens at some point, though not always the same way or at the same time. Most hens go through it once a year, often when the days start getting shorter.
They drop old, worn-out feathers—usually starting around the head and working their way back—leaving bare spots under wings, across their backs, and sometimes making them look half naked.
And yes… this is when your egg basket goes on strike.
Most hens will slow down or stop laying altogether because all their energy is going into growing new feathers instead of producing eggs.
Now here’s the really cool part…
Have you ever watched a feather grow in?
New feathers come in as “pin feathers,” covered in a thin sheath that almost looks like skin. As the feather grows, that sheath dries up and flakes away, revealing a brand new feather underneath. It’s a little weird, a little messy, and honestly kind of amazing.
So if your hens are looking rough right now—don’t worry.
They’re not broken. They’re just rebuilding.
