Quick update:
We got a few new chickens this week. "Della" a Delaware hen that I found for free on Craigslist needed some rescuing. She was being picked on by the other birds in her backyard flock, and went blind in one eye. :-( She seems to be adjusting nicely with the other 2 hens, that were spared when Boston (a.k.a. "Chicken Killa) feasted on chicken last weekend.
So right now, we have 3 hens (1 Delaware, 1 Sexlink, and 1 Bantam Cochin). Our Broody bird decided to give up on sitting on her nest, so I grabbed the eggs and stuck them in the incubator, but I'm pretty sure they're a lost cause. Hopefully the other 36+ eggs hatch on 2/28 or 3/1.
Yesterday, we got 3 new chicks. They are all about 2 weeks old. 2 Black Jersey Giants (my FAV!!) and 1 Cuckoo Maren. I'll post pics, soon.
Also, seeds have been started inside for our yet to be started garden. Waiting on tomatoes, peppers, broccoli and cauliflower to sprout.
Have a Happy Valentine's day, everyone :-)
