Monday Monday


We've had a productive morning so far. Back inside from 'recess' we've spaded up the next garden spot behind the coop, and the hens are "working" that today. We've put up a bit of a wind block not that they noticed the breeze any way but as I move things out of the way that sort of just happened. They were delighted to discover the worms and slugs under boards as we were moving things around. I was thinking we could start up the fire pit but not with the wind gusting up to thirty miles an hour had to wait. 

Now that the chicks are a week old they are getting tail feathers and starting to shed their chick fuzz. We've been holding the chicks so they will be used to people. This is one advantage of having them in the basement they are handier and we can let them get used to us being around and hearing people noises like our voices. The grand kids are more than happy to help us with this task! 

Dear grand son help collect eggs we got two green ones two pullet ones and one regular size brown egg for a grand total of five eggs.
