Chicks



It just isn't spring until you have a few of these little bits of yellow fluff peeping on the farm. O Wise One hatched out his first batch in the incubator over the weekend. I'm starting to see a pattern here. Baby rabbits in a snowstorm, baby chicks during a weekend rain storm.  

Won't Hank have a ball with these?

    So cute! We had to order chicks from the local Co-op this year after an incubator fiasco failed to hatch any for us.

    I hope you kept your power for the brooder. Our power went out and we have eggs in the incubator again, just like a couple months ago when the power went out. Congrats!

      I have a gas oven. When we lose electricity like that I will put my oven on it's lowest setting and warm old towels in a pan in the oven. Not too hot but just warm then lay them over my eggs. Keep changing them out until your incubator comes back on.

      Meat chicks. My girls are not yet 1 year old and could lat for the least another year or so before being replaced. These will either go in the jar or freezer!

    Hope you are not experiencing any of the flooding that is on the news. Weather is crazy every where. Chicks are so cute.

      A great many of the local rivers and creeks are out of their banks but we are pretty well high and dry although it can make getting any where tricky : )

    Hey Lady, love your blog...thought of something you may be interested in or may already do something simular. If you plant a cover crop alfalfa isa great one to plant. Alfalfa is a great booster vitamin for pregnant goats as well as raspberry leaves.Google about the alfalfa and raspberry leaves if you plan on bredding, I think you'll be glad you did. My
    daisy May is due in August, please pray for a safe and healthy delivery. It's her first time.
    Blessings and Thanks for your wisdom.
