Bonbean - Sheep and chicken happenings

[bonbean01]

Thanks Em...you've had chickens much longer than me...first time the insides came on the outside...is this a common thing or just a fluke? Another chick seemed to have no eyes...and I feared that again I had one with a problem...DH said let's just see if it is better by morning...this morning it is active like the rest and eyes open...only thing different from it is that it has bigger eyes than the rest...so...it is fine

The sound of little peepers makes me smile. I can hear our bantam eggs chirping every so often today and keep looking for pips.

We had one that had a bit of goo last time on its tummy still and we just left it be. It seemed a little more sluggish than the others but perked up after a few days. Not sure why yours had its outside out but probably just a fluke thing.

So where's the picture of the little cuties?

yes...one is green that I put food colouring on since that is from the RIR hen I kept with a game rooster and wanted to see what I got.

It's a St. Patty's Day chick! You got the Luck of the Irish with that one, Bon!

What cute little peepers.

Yes, you need more sheep. and goats.

Too funny Jodie...DH thinks for our small place that we many now have too many sheep...and more fencing in the future for rotatating more pastures

Also looks like more chicken coop building with my addiction to hatching chicks...I am hopeless

Well...haven't updated in my foul weather mood...heavy rains...then a break...now a very hard freeze last night and snow and more heavy rain in the forecast...my fruit trees had already bloomed...that's it for this year's fruit crop...no plum jam...no fig preserves... and I live in the deep south and this is mid March????

More when I am in a better mood...no one needs to read my weather rantings

It was 32 degrees yesterday morning and 25 this morning out at our place! The grass is greening up and peaking through the snow we keep getting! Kinda funny actually.

Bon...my bottle lamb (yes...another one) was doing his binkies in our bedroom last night and this morning. Made me smile and THINK OF YOU!!!
