William Wilkerson+FollowWhy My Mint Plant Stopped Growing 😂Thought my mint plant was dying, but turns out my Buff Orpington hen, Butter, just claimed it as her personal nap spot! Caught her snuggled up in the planter like she was at a spa. Now I know why the mint wasn’t spreading—Butter was literally on top of it! The comments are hilarious: people saying she’s marinating herself or just wants to smell minty fresh. Honestly, can’t blame her. That nap must’ve smelled amazing! #ChickenTok #homesteadlife #ChickenMama #Home50Share
GardenGnome+Followwhy did my baby chicks freak out over beet leaves on day one?Watching my new chicks explore the garden for the first time was wild. They darted straight for the beet and radish bed, pecking curiously at the leaves. I always let my little ones roam in veggie patches early on—it helps them get used to new sights and sounds. Plus, they snack on bugs hiding in the soil, which keeps pests down without chemicals. I noticed they loved hiding under the big beet leaves. It’s their way of feeling safe while checking out the world. If you’re starting chicks, let them explore a bit. They’ll help your garden and get braver every day. Just keep an eye out so they don’t munch all your greens! #gardeningtips #backyardchickens #homesteadlife #Gardening160Share
