I just love this!
Welcome to the Farm.
True, we're entitling ourselves a homestead, but they didn't have that flag at TSC. ha ha
Anyway, thought this was cute and welcomes those who come to our drive.
Week Six and these chicks are driving me bonkers in the office! Clearly they're no longer "chicks" to us and now full "chickens" Hubby and I started fencing in The Ladies area this weekend.
Earlier in the week, though, we had frost. Really??? Frost! COME ON WINTER - GET OUT!
On the nicer days The Ladies have been outside.....
Free Range Chicks
Until they got near the patio and The Big Guy chased them out. LOL
Back to the coop - but they like it, especially on sunny days!
Frieda and Lucy 6 weeks old!
Last night we got the posts up (hubby did) and almost all of the chicken wire attached. Unfortunately we ran out of day light and the rains were setting in.
Back to the cage then.
BUT...I FINALLY got a shot of all six of them on the roost!
Is that a riot or what? We have to roosting poles, and they chose to all get on the same one.
You can see there is still somewhat a segregation problem, though. LOL
This week I did get the 2nd set of 72 seedlings planted and going!
I love how the greenhouse is filling up and filling in so nicely!
However, I discovered someone else enjoys the green house!
Nasty black bee's! OOOH I hate them!
Saturday our front yard looked like this...
Pretty purple and even yellow flowers. Looked like a lavender field!
So it was time to start mowing.
Look at that nice straight line!
I LOOVE mowing! It's my spring/summer exercise and I burn over 1000 calories doing it!
The mosquito shoo geraniums are doing great, even starting to flower!
So I got our first one into a pretty terra cotta pot!
I decided to move the heat lamp from the brooder to the top of the Coke machine for the seedlings.
This idea came after the lamp hung too low from the cabinet I tried and started to melt the seeding lid.
They are doing GREAT!!! Wish I did this with the first 72!
Well that's it so far from the homestead. Just gotta finish up the chicken wire so we can get The Ladies outside for good! Just in time for tornado season - sheesh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
