Turtle Day

Morning everyone, 

 We found in our yard the other day while weed whacking on the hill, a lovely turtle. I think it is called an Eastern Ornate Box Turtle. We put him back where we found him after some pics of course. 

Nice to know that they are still around and healthy. At least this one is. My sis found the top of a shell a number of years ago in the yard here while mowing. It looked to be the same kind of shell. 

 Love and Prayers

Little Blacky

Morning to all, 

Oh wow, one of my chickens, the black one seems to have "frizzle" feathers, None of the other chickens has this, only the black one and I am wondering what it will look like when as it gets older and larger. She is a very Unique looking chicken. Now it is cold outside and two days of rain, they are being kept inside right now in the garage for their safety.

 I will take a pic when I can get her alone. 

Love and Prayers,  

Margo

Rainy Day

Morning to all, 

Today and last night it has decided to rain, got grass cut yesterday so it is a good day for rain. 

Got some more unpacking to do, so this is a good day to take care of that. 

Hope all are doing ok.

Love and Prayers, 

Margo

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

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. 

Love and Prayers
