Since I am so behind on my blog, here are a group of photos of the farm animals from March until May. In March we got 10 new baby chicks. These will be 10 more egg layers, since we have lost 5 hens since November. We lost 4 to the stupid fox, and 1 hen was egg bound.
I also adopted 5 adorable Silkies, as well. They are the sweetest chickens ever!
Since then we have also purchased some meat chickens as well. They are Cornish hen crosses, they grow rapidly. They are almost 5 weeks now, and are already the same size as my 12 week old Americaunas, and Silver laced Wyandottes. They will be ready for butcher at 8-9 weeks.
