What's New the First Week of May 2019

That's the thing about spring  - always something new going on. 

It was kind of a cold damp week but there were some sunny spots.  Here's one:

Mama Hen #3 hatched out six new chicks.  We now have small, medium, and large chicks and a total of 15. 

Speaking of large - check this out:

When you have chickens, you find out that eggs come in many shapes, textures, colors, and sizes.  The enormous egg on the left weighed in at 4.7 ounces. I believe it is the largest chicken egg I have ever had. The one on the right is a more normal 2.4 ounces.  That is considered extra- large in the egg grading world. 

As expected, it was a double yolker - I had it for breakfast this morning.  Delicious!

The kids are doing great - here are a couple of updated photos.

We have started separating the kids from their mamas at night.  In the morning Kevin spends some time with them while I milk.  I just cannot seem to get a good picture in the low light of the shd, but I will share a couple less tha stellar ones here anyway just to show you the fun Kevin and the kids have while they wait for their breakfasts!

Goat yoga - Ole Lake style!

He is under there somewhere!

One last thing - wanted to share a couple of pictures of a kitty that seems to have moved in with us.  He or she is pretty shy, but not too wild.  I call him/her Scruffy - not sure why as he/she looks pretty good.

Kevin and Rollie have starting working the fields and getting ready to plant - no pictures tonight but hopefully next week.  Until then,  be well friends!
