Looky here, looky here… Right here is something good. 🙂 See that, it’s yummy! Maroochy and the Chicklets have moved to a new location. They are now where they can explore the grass, find some dirt to bathe in, and learn more about how to survive. Mama is doing a good job of teaching them…
While at the used book store, I came across a book titled “Bible Wines or Laws of Fermentation and Wines of the Ancients”. It looked interesting so I brought it home and have begun to read it. The original thesis was written prior to 1871 and has some amazing information in it. I am now…
I’m back after a brief absence to marry off my daughter. 🙂 Such a sweet wedding. Ah. … It’s a bit cool on the farm this morning but still a nice day. We’ve had a few small showers over the last week but we are so dry. Maroochy and the chicklets are still in…
The hummingbirds are having such a difficult time at the feeder today. The wind is blowing so hard that they aren’t able to hover and the feeder is moving around. Ever once in a bit, one is able to take advantage of the break in the wind and success! Yesterday’s storm didn’t turn out to…
Watered the garden today. There’s bad weather forecast for this evening tho. Started working on the fence but then ended up putting a cattle panel up makeshift. I need an additional set of hands to work on the fence so it will have to wait until MM can help. Still not quite sure how the…
Another lovely day on the farm. I am staying out of the garden (for the most part) this week as we prep for the wedding. I could spend way too much time working out there. Maroochy would really like to take the littles out but they are just so small still. I’m gonna make her…
It’s a lovely wet day on the farm today. I am thankful for the rain! Everyone is doing well. The dogs are holed up on the front porch. The coos are off grazing as it appears the rain doesn’t bother them at all. The chickens also don’t seem to care if they are wet. Maroochy…
Here they are… Maroochy and “her” chicks. One spends a lot of time underneath her. She’s taking such sweet care of them. It’ll be interesting to see what they turn out to be. (Should be all girls.) Any guesses?
Late yesterday evening, we took Maroochy’s eggs and gave her three little fluffy butts. She accepted them and has been busy ever since keeping them warm, talking to them, and just generally showing them how to be good chickens. Sorry, y’all have to wait till tomorrow to get pics.
It’s overcast and gray on the farm this morning. Fits my mood pretty good. Unfortunately, none of the chicks have hatched and the one heard peeping is silent. Maroochy, the mama hen, is still very protective of the eggs but I think I’m going to have to take them from her. If the farm store…
