    Chickens & Winter

    Rebecca Beauchemin / January 30, 2015 / 1 Comment

    Chickens don’t love the snow. They tolerate the cold well but the snow turns them off.  They don’t like to walk in it.  This was the first snow my chickens ever saw.  They stayed on the only grassy area they could find under the big pine tree.  Of course every winter its the same — they don’t leave the coop…

    Chicken Feed Storage

    Rebecca Beauchemin / January 30, 2015 / 4 Comments

    Rodents can be an issue in chicken coops. They are attracted to the chicken feed. Chicken feed can also attract larger predators — in our area Black Bears. It’s important to have a dry, rodent proof/predator proof Chicken Feed Storage container but I also wanted it to look nice.  So I came up with this: The metal trash can is…

    60th Birthday Party

    Rebecca Beauchemin / January 30, 2015 / No Comments

    This was a party I planned for my Mother’s 60th birthday. I used lime green and turquoise scrapbook paper as my inspiration. I copied old photographs of my Mother to personalize the cake and flower arrangements. Etsy (www.etsy.com) is fabulous for finding unique downloadable scrapbook paper. You can use it in so many ways and ends up costing a lot…

    Max & Ruby Birthday Party

    Rebecca Beauchemin / January 30, 2015 / No Comments

    My 3 year old LOVES Max & Ruby. It’s his favorite, so of course I had to give him a Bunny Party when he turned 3. There is only one company who is licensed to sell Max & Ruby party supplies (www.birthdayexpress.com) and the selection is limited, pricey, and too generic for me. I made most of the decorations myself…

    Automatic Chicken Feeder

    Rebecca Beauchemin / January 30, 2015 / 6 Comments

    Making this Automatic Chicken Feeder was overall a very easy project and required only a few supplies.  Once you find the supplies assembly should take less than an hour.  The large feeders hold about 12 cups of feed and the smaller feeders I use for oyster shell and grit. To make a large feeder you need: 1 4in PVC Wye…
