Happy Mother's Day everyone! We have snow here. Poor girls outside. I took down the plastic sheets we use to block the snow a few days ago (before this storm was predicted) thinking we wouldn't get snow and to make the coop look nicer to potential buyers (our house is on the market) and didn't get a chance to put them back up. Their area was damp this morning. Usually our house provides a break for that area and they don't get it too bad but this storm seems to be coming from a different way and is blowing right on them. I'm going to go out and shoo the little ones inside the coop. I don't think they'll figure it out for themselves. Luckily it's not too cold with the snow. I went out in a light jacket and was fine.
The remaining 2 little ones made it through the night. They are eating and drinking but mostly sleeping. None of the other ones are showing signs still.
We came to an agreed offer on the 5 acre place. We've had the inspection done and the appraisal has been ordered. Now we just sit and wait. We don't close until 6/13 since DH starts a new job this week and he has to work there for 30 days for his income to count.
I'm already researching how much horses and cows can eat and how much hay is going for. DD and I took a trip out there yesterday and I like it even more. I was planning on planting some trees on the edge of the property and as we walked it, I ran into a row of trees with irrigation and everything! I don't know what kind of trees they are and they need some pruning but hopefully I can get a list from the current owner.
I took some pics of all the wildflowers growing and am identifying them now. We're trying to come up with a name for our little farm.

Also had some Silkies hatch, and a couple of RIR x SLW chicks from my flock.
She took a turn for the worse about mid-day. She stopped eating and drinking. The BLRW is eating and holding her wings normal, no more fluffed up look. She's tried to fly out of the aquarium I have them in multiple times. I had to put towel over it to keep her in. I don't expect the legbar to be alive by morning.
