here!
Most of the snow in the yard has melted, Robin's in the front yard and mud everywhere!
It does mean that spring, if not here now, is just around the corner!
WOO HOO!!!!
Your time is up old man winter!!!
That means that letting the chooks out to free range and planning and planting the gardens are not far away. I can't wait to be outside in the sunshine. I'm sure my Hubby is NOT nearly as excited as I am.It does mean a lot of work for him. Luckily I am not as picky and demanding as some think I am! :)
Besides, it keeps him busy until football starts. Chicken and garden season first, Then football season. After football season, more chicken season, a little more garden season.
I have such a great Hubby!
So with that here's a little update from the coop!
Mama has hatched herself 8 beautiful little chicks.
and they are a handful.
She is often clucking and tucking them back under her when they misbehave.
She is a great Mama and they are all doing great!
We also have a new addition in the coop, she doesn't have a name yet and she is a little different
but she seems to be getting along with the gang just fine.
She is a barred rock X polish mix
and she is pretty sweet.
She has quite the personality, she is a very funny girl!
And she likes to be up high.
We took the big Meany (The chantie rooster hates me) out of this pen, with the other hen and filled
this pen with babies.
She is with the babies we have left from our last hatch
and seems to be happy, even though she gives a peck and gets a peck once in a while.
She seems to fit in just nicely!
So that's all that's up at the Adams Farm.
Happy Homesteading!
