They are adorable! ❤️ Congrats on the new babies!

I moved all my volunteer lettuce and the bolting spinach etc. into one planter today. Now once I prep them I can finally use the rest for their intended purposes - beans and hot peppers!

I’d be worried about the mice eating your chickens’ food.

Glad to hear things are going well! No idea what your mystery chick is though. 😅

Glad to hear your baby made it! 😃

Yeah decaf is for when you want coffee/tea later in the day but don’t want to be bouncing off the walls until 2 AM. I just wish it didn’t taste so soapy. 😕

I have not done this personally, but my understanding is you let the hen sit on some fake/infertile eggs for the usual span of time (or close to it), then sneak some day old babies under her at night. But success depends at least partially on the hen.

Got my carrot seeds in finally 🎉 and put the oregano in pots for lack of better things to do with it.

Grit is basically rocks that birds eat to grind up their food.

Got the components to make my bunny barrier today. I went to two different Home Depots because the tubing I tried to buy at the first one didn’t have a bar code on it and the guy at the register tried to sell it to me for $50 when the shelf said $15. 😒

Could you put a screen over it? (Wood frame, screen on the top, put it over the grass you want to preserve so they can nibble the bits that grow through but can’t destroy the roots?)

Need to get some fencing before I do much more planting. This is the first year in a while that I’ve planted anything near ground level and there’s a pair of adult rabbits that keep visiting…needless to say I don’t trust them.

Put chicken wire around the plants?

I’ve heard that they hatch like popcorn…wait…that isn’t helping is it?

I swapped out my suet feeder for the hummingbird feeder a few days ago and had a very confused woodpecker show up to inspect it. 🤣
