This picture is one of hens that decided to lay on her egg on our supply shelf a few weeks ago. When we checked on her today, we found a baby! I know, we have hundreds of chickens already, but this one is home grown! If you look really carefully under her chest, you can see the chick peeking out. A hen normally takes 21 days to hatch her young. She is the best mom. Marvin tried to reach under her and she not only pecked him - she drew blood!
The weather is definitely heating up. We had some of our romain lettuce in a salad last night and it was really good. Of course, it always tastes better when you grow it yourself.
There just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day to do all and enjoy all. Life on the farm is a never ending array of sights and sounds and things to enjoy.
Stay tuned for more!
