Expect a message from me!

I was surely thinking of you when this was posted.

At least Snow is thinking about nests, that's better than nothing. She may give you an egg even though it's winter.

I have had a new layer lay in the winter despite the lack of sunlight so it is possible.

The TSC babies were outside today. They are growing big and strong.

I've decided to keep the Marans, and 2 of the EE chicks, one light and 1 dark. The remains 6 I'll sell as a package deal.

They look very happy.

I too took the babies out today, All went just fine. First I took the Browns out and let them run around the run. The older chickens did great! Then I got them to go into the coop, and I closed the door so I could go get the other 4 chicks. When I felt the one week old's had enough I took them back into the house. I sat on the coop floor and played with the browns for a bit.
After they ate a snack, I took them too back into the house.
As Soon as the got out of the box they got a drink and sacked out. Lololoo

What a wonderful day! I'm glad you had time to spend with them like this. I know how busy your day can be. I frequently exhausted just looking at your list!

It is never too late for photos like that.

Well I managed to keep Rosie out for at least 2 hours today, not sure exactly. The last half hour involved a lot of whining and the occasional tug on my pant leg, but good over all.
Rosie and Brenna got in some good bath napping

With the break in the rain this became top priority. It was only 63ish out but the chicks were so busy they didnt mind. It is important they get use to the coop, run and older hens. the One week olds did not get to run loose, I think they are to small especially the reds.

I went out to the shops and when I came back...
Drumroll please...
