The Enchanted Tree: Chickens, Chicks and Chicken tractors.

http://theenchantedtree.blogspot.com/2015/04/chickens-chicks-and-chicken-tractors.html

Tuesday, April 14, 2015. Chickens, Chicks and Chicken tractors. I have a second hen broody, and she is setting on another 4 olive eggs, 3 Black star (XL brown) and another Java egg. These are due to hatch the first week of May. i believe the BCM (Black Copper Maran) is the daddy to most of these, so i'm really looking forward to the variety of egg colors i should be getting this fall. Our next project is to replace our current chicken feeders with PVC tube. April 14, 2015 at 1:37 PM. What a lovely chicks!

Thursday, February 26, 2015. Ice Art- Surviving Snow days. My husband and daughter both had the flu last week, and were pretty much stuck on the sofa. My boy and i somehow managed to avoid getting sick, but the cabin fever started to set in pretty quickly. The week before the storm, i had picked up a puzzle at the goodwill for my boy who loves puzzles. So we pulled it out and decided working on it was a good way to spend the snow days. The puzzle is called Lost in a Jigsaw II. At the end of the day when ...

Thursday, May 14, 2015. In the Garden- First week of May. My late winter lettuce is still doing well, and i have a spring planting that is close to harvest. We are beginning to get asparagus, and i found a few more morels last week. Chickens are still laying well, despite about half my hens trying to go broody. Root veggies have never done well for me,so this year i planted them all in pots of raised beds. My radishes were doing fabulous up until we had a week of 80 degree temps and then they suddenl...
