Chickie Hatchin..

This is the 1st lil chickie to hatch in my June bator hatch...
I heard a cheep cheep yesterday when I put the eggs on lockdown, heard it all during the night and today. Then around 2:30 a lil mutt bantam hatched. Its early, poor lil chickie is lonely in the bator full of 41 eggs now, lol. There are LOTS of pips and I can hear more cheep cheeps...

June Hatch... To Be Continued :)

Itty Bitty Bantam Chickie...

This here chickie is the smallest chickie I've ever had runnin around with the flock in the chicken run/coop... its BO Momma really protects it, poor lil thing is too little to go back into the coop after momma brings it out so they sleep under the coop at night, I try to bring in at night but sometimes I cant reach em.

This bantam hatched in May from a secret nest Chipmunk one of my bantam hens was trying to make, Brian was cuttin grass one day and the tire to the tractor ran over the nest crushing all but 2 eggs, I put them under a broody bo and this one made it.

(Chipmunk has another hidden nest somewheres... I cant find it, but shes hasnt givin me eggs for almost 2 weeks now, she better bring me some babies in the next few weeks!)

Weeds and Chickens...

I HATE Weeds...
and they have taken over our gardens, really its embarrassing! This is our beet garden and just look at all those WEEDS! Poor lil beets cant even grow. We love beets and need a good harvest so I got out there this morning and started weedin. I took me 2 1/2 hours to weed what little I got done, Brian came out on his lunch break and did some of a roll. So guess what we are doing after dinner... yep... pullin more weeds!

I threw what weeds I picked to the chickens... they LOVE weeds, lol

* My June bator hatch is hatching... 1 little bantam hatched out this afternoon, 41 more eggs to go, blog later this week :)

10 Of My BO Girls In Their New Coop

Pretty much the new coop is done...

I've been collecting 5-8 eggs a day from these 10 girls since I moved em in.After awhile I might add Chicken Noodle one of our BO roosters to the coop so I can produce pure BO chickies

Handful Of Wild Black Raspberries...

Didnt think they would be ready yet...
Dylan came in the house to find me and said Momma your berries are ready, so I had to run out there and see for myself. Dylan and his friend ate a few, lol I'm gettin ready to go out and check all the berry spots for ripped ones...
