Sometimes you have to shift food supplies. These are green weeds (that chickens love to eat) that were dried during our rainy season (winter) and are now being feed to them when the green plants are dying off for summer. They love greens! #PetChickens

#Bindweed growing when not much else will at this time of the year. It makes a nice green feed for the #PetChickens

#CaliforniaBushSunflower is really starting to set seeds. I think this is going to be something tasty to feed my sunflower seed loving #PetChickens. It is a drought-tolerant perennial with abundant seed production.

#CaliforniaBuckwheat starting to bloom. It makes a drought-tolerant perennial grain crop that is pretty enough to pass as a decorative plant. My #PetChickens approve eating this, also tasty for humans after soaking to leach bitterness. #ClimateDiary

#PetChickens taking a #DustBath. This is an essential part of their day, as important as food or water to their long term health.

#PetChickens made #adobe for #water retention around one of their feeders. We only have standing water in their playground.

3 of 5 Chicken Breeds That Can Handle Cold Weather 🥶
Buff Orpington ~ They come in many colors, but the yellow or "buff" colored chickens can have big personalities. They are not only hardy hens because of their beautiful plumage but are extremely personable. Another interesting fact? They are loved by the British royal family.

Brahma ~ They are large chickens and their feet are feathered. We call them "hobbit" chickens. Calm and curious and super hardy in winter temperatures. Keep those feet dry in the winter though!

Australorp can withstand cold winter temperatures easily, as well as hot weather - they were bred here after all! They are even said to keep laying whilst the temperature is especially hot and cold.
