Glad to share that the laundry- cheese making- seed starting- chick brooding room has officially moved into the
hot chicks phase. Once again I wanted a few Orpington to take over the work of raising the littles, and once again it looks like I waited too late. Or not. Think I may try hatching my own Orps if I can't find any at the local stores. For some reason, I don't like the idea of having chicks mailed to me. Irrational, I know.
Also glad to share our first annual food planting. These are peas we planted the weekend of april 16th. Pretty late for our area, I think. A week of rain and hail storms seemed to keep them cool and happy enough to at least start growing. Also planted carrots, beets, and turnips, but I see no sign of them. I suppose I should get a planting journal started so I at least know when and what and where something should be. I suppose I should also just be glad we've started, no matter how small or (un)successful the effort proves to be. :)
Getting chick's in the mail does make getting mail much more fun! We have two hens thinking about going brood, a Buff of course and a Buckeye.
ReplyDeleteI see how mail chicks would be fun- think I'm just afraid the timing wouldn't work and the poor things would sit there too long. I dunno. lol. Fortunately, a local store recieved some Buffs, and put them aside for us, so I'm on the road to broody buffs myself! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Buff day!
