| Spring 2010 we decided to add an additional 50 more chicks. They started laying at 4 months. The organic eggs sell well at the farmers markets and local stores. So we got our USDA license to wholesale eggs. |
| This is how the 50 chicks arrived. They are called Golden Buffs. They arrived on Feb 24th so they lived in our bathtub for a couple of weeks before they got so big we had to move them to the chicken house. There are 3 males in box, can you fine them? |
| They are 3 days old in the picture to the right. Below is their first home. They weren't very happy to be moved but they loved the extra space. |
| Gathering around the water cooler! |
| We hatched 6 guinea hens the spring of 2008. They will be additional guards around the farm when they get a bit bigger. |
| Here are the guinea hens as of Spring 2010. We have 9 guineas today. They fly all over the farm and eat the ticks and weed seeds. It's nice to have them on the farm. |
| Our other feathered friends around the farm |
| Here they are, March 15th. Today is their first day to fly up to the perch. Notice they are all on the top perch, 24 inches off the ground. |
| These chickens are part of the 100 we received last summer. |
