Life"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Panic has discovered that a just blushing tomato is edible and has started eating just ripening tomatoes on the vine.\u00a0 Does she target the small tomatoes?\u00a0 Of course not.\u00a0 She goes after the giant fruit.\u00a0 What a jerkface.\u00a0 But the forecast is showing intermittent days of rain so I think it&#8217;s time to pull in all the the remaining tomatoes and be done with it.\u00a0 It was a good run.\u00a0 Next year, I&#8217;ll get them in earlier.\u00a0 Up next&#8230;.peas!<\/p>\n<p>We got a new feeder for the girls.\u00a0 This one hangs, holds more, and is metal.\u00a0 Brunhilde has been getting territorial over the food.\u00a0 A feeder on the ground end up getting food all over the ground that doesn&#8217;t get eaten and they were going through the supply before the day was over.\u00a0 Hopefully, this new feeder will alleviate some territorial issues.\u00a0 Otherwise, I might have to reign in Brunhilde&#8217;s crabiness to the rest of the flock.\u00a0 She&#8217;s starting to stress them out and I don&#8217;t want to have to temporarily isolate her.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s bed turning time so maybe all the girls will chill out.\u00a0 They&#8217;ll have some beds to rustle around in before they get planted again.\u00a0 They&#8217;ve gotten antsy with the change of the season.\u00a0 We&#8217;ve retrieved some weird looking eggs, so I&#8217;ve upped their protein and calcium levels by making sure they get plenty of dried worms (ew) and some ground oyster shell more regularly.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m so excited that Coastal is now selling American made dried worms.\u00a0 We were ordering them online because all of the store shelf options were coming from China.\u00a0 No thanks.\u00a0 So, I was heavily rationing the dried worms because they were pretty pricey online.\u00a0 They aren&#8217;t cheap at Coastal, but it&#8217;s still cheaper than buying them online.\u00a0 Literally all of the protein the girls get comes from insects.\u00a0 We don&#8217;t feed them table scraps with the exception of organic produce&#8230;.no beef, chicken, pork, or fish, and no dairy.\u00a0 And we don&#8217;t spray so all the bugs they get here are chemical free.\u00a0 They make some pretty snazzy poop for the farm.\u00a0 And the eggs aren&#8217;t bad either.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large
