Chickens

Have you hugged your chickens today? 🐔

We also got 6 baby chickens last week. Why? Good question, miss the ones we had in Ohio and I was raised with chickens and I love the fresh eggs from real open range hens. My neighbor down the street here in W. V. also has a few chickens that run around their huge yard. She has even loaned us the use of some of her stuff for the chickens, thus saving us some money to start. She said they have not had any problems with hawks bothering chickens. Right now our baby chicks are tiny but growing and getting used to being handled, so no freak-outs if I have to handle them at any time. They come right up to me now. Starting to get their wing and tail feathers. It is so relaxing to just hold them and right now they are so playful. I am changing their little pen area every day with clean water and food. They are not a bother at all. The dogs and chickens are getting used to each other. Sure don't want any problems there. Kricket had a pet chicken that always came to see him when we went out in the back yard there in OH. He loved that chicken. 

We now have time to get their pen and housing ready before they are ready to turn loose. They will have a huge 2 acres to play on, security during the evening and nighttime also.

Gardening

Got all my garden plants and ready to plant but not until it warms up some out there. Got some beets, eggplant, tomatoes, green pepper, carrots, asparagus, and a pretty marigold flower. Will add some more if I can find them, want some okra plants. Much faster to plant than doing seeds. The corn we have to seed. Anyway, can't wait until we get the garden going. 

Love and Prayers

Second Shot Day

Morning to all, 

We are off to get our second shot today, hope it works like the first one, a little sore on arm is all. 

Cool out and very cold at night still right now. 

Hope all are staying safe out there.

Love and Prayers, 

Margo

Sunny cool day

Afternoon everyone, 

Well, it rained and some small hail also last evening and night. Today the sun is out but it is cool and just a little windy. We plan to work some in the garden if the weather holds up. I have got to get my corn, and other vegetables in the ground that we picked up the other day.

If while going through this blog site you find out that some links in the blog don't work, please let me know so I can check them as things sometimes get messed up when making changes. 

Hope all are doing great.

Love and Prayers
