Recent Chicken Happenings

 Pretty eggs from our colorful hens.

 Brooklyn decided that January was the perfect time to raise a family.  She successfully hatched 8 chicks and is a very good mother.
 A few of the chicks got to travel with me to high school one day. The students had the option of sketching one of the chicks.
 The chicks were quite a hit with the students.

 One talented art student sketched one of the chicks. Amazing.

 Here are the babies almost 4 weeks later. They grow so quickly.


This morning I went to the feed store and came home with 10 new babies.  Seven are Cuckoo Marans and 3 are Buff Orpingtons.  I have them set up in the maternity ward with a heat lamp.


The fig tree is still a favorite hang out even in the winter when there are no leaves.
