hello long lost ones,
There are 26 new chicks in a baby pool warming under the heat lamp tonight. Buff orps, welsummers, and buckeyes. I lost my best wheaten marans hen last night-- am unsure what happened to her but she quit walking so I isolated her. She would drink and eat, but her legs were oddly unmobile and hung oddly behind her. I wonder if she had a spine injury. So I'm down to something like 27 adult chickens, 11 ducks, and so I had to get chicks. We've been planting trees and berry bushes, prepping the garden and have forgone the early crops like cabbage/potatoes in order to save the room for items more palettable to the boys. DS#1 qualified for state track this week. Life is good.
Gonna catch a sunset... be good you wild ones.
