We've made some updates to our chick orders for the year. We won't be getting any Buff Orpingtons on 3/12, but we will now be getting Silver Duckwing Yokohama! For a full selection see our website: http://www.kisfarm.com/shop-2/classes/baby-chicks/

People often ask us for good organic rat/mouse control options, these are a few of our favorites: Tata, Socks, and The Ghost.

Tata and The Ghost came to us via the King County Barn Cats R US program, and while they may not approach people much, they are great hunters! The Ghost (who escaped on her first night at the farm, but still stuck around) now follows staff members upon request, and has even learned to meow at us for food (a behavior cats only use on humans).

Click report for Bellevue: 31 degrees. No signs or frozen water. Day time temps are high enough to keep the wateres from freezing. Scooped the coop and the run a bit. Good night ladies, see you tomorrow!
