Just wanted to pop in and say hello to everyone in NC.

Happy hatches to everyone and hooray for SPRING!

Lots of people in our state are poultry lovers

Yay on the pips!

We went to tractor supply, anyone want to guess how many we walked out with

Always a MILLION things to do, and no time to do them. Today was a GORGEOUS day... so I'm happy to say I spent quite a bit of it working outside with the DD. We got her garden done she's been wanting, and we got some birds moved around. I have to go clean one last coop, and water the front garden.

I came out this morning to a couple of the chicks that had squirmed their way out of the broody pen. They were running around the lawn like life was good! Glad I saw them before the cat... she was ready to wreck their fun. After trying to secure everyone, I noticed it totally failed because another escaped while I was working... so everyone, and mama, got scooped up and walked back to the silkie pen. They can handle the protection detail there on their own. They'll have a better chance of surviving in there then out in the yard with a hungry cat!

I just hope that doesn't mess up my hatch due March 28th.

Ok... and finally, my daughter's new garden bed, done and planted (will mulch over the weekend).
