Today was a good day. Flowers are in full bloom and everyone is doing well. Had to band our little boy goat today and it went really well. Feeling grateful. 🩵

The whole yard smells like apple blossoms!
Had a wild wood duck brave enough to say hello to the ladies.
Sad news, I lost little Dale yesterday. Stupid accident where he jumped/fell at the exact perfect angle to fall from the coop entrance into the chicken’s water. Their regular waterer was leaking, and I swapped it for a tray style dish, and put that up on a cinderblock so the chicks wouldn’t...
Today’s cuteness. Nothing exciting to report, everyone is doing well and all chickens are getting along. Tate keeps all the “aunts” in line and they mostly ignore the babies. Aunt George (another buff orpington) is the most curious of the bunch, but I suspect she might just want their food. :p...
Here’s the daily dose of cuteness! All three ate doing well, still hanging out in the nesting box with Tate, eating drinking, and starting to wander around a little bit.
Stuck at work currently, wanted to share my three newest arrivals (since, ya know, I can’t be at home snuggling them). Bertha and Nugget hatched yesterday around lunch and Dale hatched early this morning. Will use this thread as my photo dump for these little ones as they grow up.
