What did you do with your flock today?

First light this morning I checked for momma hen and found her in my garden, behind the black storage box and snuggling with her beeebies. Reintro was seamless thank goodness!!! I then threw food and changed out water, then proceeded to find them some bugs. Momma really looked like she appreciated my efforts. This eve, she was in son's yard, so I tossed some good food over the fence.

17 eggs today! All sold along with 32 other eggs. New customer is buying up all I have.

My baby Peppermint spent most of her day with me on my computer while I worked. She is mostly a indoor chicken.

The look on Aria’s face! Pure joy! I’m sure I'd have that same expression if someone filled my arms with chicks 🥰

I can't even express how adorable they are...or how delighted so many made it through the power outage ❤️
Thanks! Me too 😍 The other newbies are like giants in comparison to these teeny babies! They’re about 8 weeks now, but it’s been so nasty outside I’ve left them inside for the time being…not for long though! 😍

Jett is my favorite so far. She’s just really sweet and chill ❤️

Bloody mites! Grrr! Ours are active here too. I found around 6 unfed, grey babies under a roost bar. Squashed the heck out of them but it means either there's eggs from last year starting to hatch or adults about that have started breeding. I've never seen them this early in the year before.
I saw that my spray killed them. I do need to spray again, as I saw some missed areas and didn't have time. Inevitably, there will always be some that got missed. The fight continues.
 
Today's menu included Olive Garden leftover salad, no dressing. Heard a lot of chuckling (happy sounds) as they picked through it.

Samuel is settling in nicely as Boss Roo. He's alert as his girls feed, has stopped eating with them. I think he'll do fine. And he's handsome, too.
