What's Happening?

Hi All.  Been a little while since I've last posted.  We have been a little busy.  With spring here (at least it feels like it), we have been planting seeds indoors and are getting ready to transplant the seedlings and plant more wonderful veggies and root plants!  So far in the ground we have garlic and roma beans.  We will be adding more seedlings in the ground very soon, which will include, romaine lettuce, carrots, onion, tomatoes (better boy) and marigolds, broccoli, and a couple herbs: chives and oregano.  Mmmmm.....we are looking forward to the tasty goodness Mother Nature will have to offer after our efforts of putting it all in motion.  Rain has been good so far this year...fingers crossed that we will continue to reap the sky water crystal drops!

Not only are we looking to reap a good harvest from the earth, we are getting so very close to getting our first egg(s) from our hens!  Looking like we have a couple Leghorns that are very close to laying and a two or three New Hampshire Reds that are very close.  Didn't know we have chickens?  We do! Our white egg layers: White Leghorns (4) and Production Blacks (3).  My daughter has a Crevecoeur named Sweetheart.  We are not yet sure if Sweetheart is a pullet or a cockerel. If a pullet, she will lay white eggs.

Our brown egg layers:  New Hampshire Reds (9) and Our tinted egg layers: Ameraucana/Easter Eggers (2).  We also have 3 Roosters:  Big Red, the New Hampshire Red - he rules the roost, and takes good care of our girls!  Dudley, the Rhode Island Red, we're still waiting for him to start crowing!  And then there is the "nameless rooster" he is a Barred Plymouth Rock.

We are raising more chicks!  At present time they will be 3 weeks old on Wednesday.  More on them once they are older ;)


Meet some of our girls!
