My Chickens

Morning everyone, 

Here is a pic after morning clean-up for my baby chickens. 

If the weather would ever warm up, they are ready for the outdoors, but back inside for the nighttime for a while. I can hardly wait to see what they will look like when older.

Have you hugged your chickens today?🐔🐓🐤🐣

Love and Prayers, 

Margo

Another cold freezing night

Morning everyone, 

Well after another night of freezing, we did last night cover the ones that had buds on them, I am hoping that that will have kept the freeze away. Time will tell. I uncovered them this morning late, and they seem to be doing ok so far. 

If it did, will take some pics later when things open. 

Love and Prayers,

 Margo

Cold coming

Afternoon everyone, 

They say tonight is going to be cold and tomorrow it might be in the '20s with snow all around us, so we are taking some care of plants that are outside. This seems to me to be a crazy cold spring and I am ready for some at least warmer temps. I do hope all that are flowering will not die off. 

It is so nice out now hard to believe it is going to be that cold for a couple of nights. 

Hope all are staying safe. 

Love and Prayers, 

Margo

Surprise

My dear husband surprised me when he come home from the store today, 

here is a pic of what he brought me 

Can't wait until it warms up enough to put them outside. 

Love and Prayers,

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
