Same here! I was shocked at how powerful it was. Digging right along, then wham it grabbed a root and almost took my arm off. It ate the root also. It's awesome, hands down over a shovel.

Yours are growing fast!
Mine are officially in the garage as of yesterday. Needed space for the new chicks. All but one is fully feathered tho so they're ready enough. The silkies feathers are a bit crazy atm. But I figured id just go get him at night if temps were a little low. My runs are like... Half built. Just one more day I THINK/hope

The oak pollen/tassels are getting to me.
Not allergic, sick or anything, but....
There is a 2 inch carpet of the stuff on everything! It's taken over.

Our area is having bad windstorms daily so as a result lotttts of pollen, despite not even having trees. I wake up every morning take claritin, benadryl and either us my inhaler ot keep it on hand. It has become a serious nuisance. But at least it's become an automatic habit now.
Brought home two extra pullets to hopefully take some stress off my hen. She's barely been barred but she's begun picking back at the roo . So now they both have exposed downish feathers on their butts. Finished building the new coop and put them in all at once at night while they were sleeping.
