New Brood

This mama hen has been VERY persistent to set since the last batch . Thanks to my friend Susan who gave me a Buff Orphington rooster I had fertile eggs for her to hatch, it takes 18 days. Here she is the proud mama of 9 babies!

Hang'n Out

Hennie Pennie with her 5 baby chicks under the Canna Lilly forest. I tried picking up one of her babies, not recommended. Pennie is teaching them to forage for food and taking dust baths in my flower beds. Every afternoon I am replanting and watering, I can't stop them they are too cute.

Compost Surprise!

Each year the compost pile offers up something delicious, this year it's Spaghetti Squash! If you've never tried them you should, they are low in carbs. Cut squash in half, remove seed, cook in a boiling pot of salty water for about 20 min. until fork tender. Drain, cool enough to handle, using a fork gently scrap out squash noodles. I make a cream sauce with crab and scallops served over the Spaghetti Squash. Wonderful!

Baby Chicks!

Exciting News! These 4 little chicks hatched out Memorial Day! Watching mother hen teach them to eat and drink, they will be out and about soon in the bamboo chicken tracto. She still has 4 more eggs to hatch.

Veggie Trader

I subscribe to Hobby Farms magazine. I love reading anything about gardening, raising animals etc.. I came across this small article about a new website I think is a really good idea. Check out www.VeggieTrader.com. You type in your zip code and it will find local produce in your area. Great way to sell or trade excess veggies you grow or want to buy. This website is just getting started so sign-up.

Seedlings

Finally, the seeds are planted in the portable greenhouse. I have this really cool greenhouse on wheels with four shelves. I added grown lights and heating mats. Plug in the timer. . Grow plants, grow . . . .

A Dozen a Day!

My ladies don't know it is cold outside, I guess that downy feather blanket they carry around is keeping them comfy. Eggs are plentiful if you are interested in purchasing some give me a call 336-879-4145.

New Hampshire Reds

Here they are 5 months old and have just started laying. I have more than I need, if you are interested in a rooster and a few hens let me know. These layers will be full grown and laying full force come Spring when the days are longer and the temps are warmer. Not interested in birds, well I will have plenty of eggs soon.
