Spring in so many Ways!

 Welcome chicks!  Five new barred rock chicks reside in our warmed (72 degrees) bathroom.  Cheep, cheep, cheeping they spend their days growing.  In 24 hours, tiny feathers sprout!  It's amazing to watch them grow.  Outside, we harvest 4-5 eggs/day from the others.  Chickens are pretty darn easy, kind of fun, and the eggs are really great!  I recommend them for even the busiest folks. 

 

On the window sill, some other babies!  They look out to an overcast and wet spring day!  Perfect! 

 

I spent 4 hours cleaning the inside of the Hoback roundabout yesterday, pulling all the snaggly woody week skeletons out.  Then dropped and raked down $40 worth of flower seeds.  Couldn't ask for a better day to be optimistic about their sprouting futures. 

 

The greenhouse climbs into the high 90s during the day, but overnights are still a bit cold dropping into the mid 20s.  We're getting there though!
