It's April, and new life burgeons everywhere - mounds of ephemeral flowers, the golden green of new leaves, a new queen in the hive, and baby chicks!
Now these little balls of cuddly fuzz have entered their 5th week of life, having replaced the cute but impractical fuzz for mature feathers, allowing them to get out of the brooder into the chicken yard.
Eleven birds have joined Betty, Buffy, Louise & April; a mix lot of Auracana, Buff Orptingtons, & Barred Rocks. Hopefully, they will turn out to be all hens!
