The baby chicks moved out! My house no longer smells like chicken poop…hooray! The big hens love their new boxes and the chicks are enjoying having more space. Dad did a wonderful job hanging it up and in no time, the girls had it full of shavings. The top row had to be immediately blocked … Read morebaby chicks moved out
What a crazy week it’s been. Cookies, cakes, and a whole lot of presents! The beautiful weather has pretty much kept us all outside as much as possible. Mucking stalls, cleaning the coop, cleaning the brooder and climbing trees. Once chores were done, we worked on something a lot more fun. I had full intentions … Read morecookies, cakes, and a whole lot of presents

Another week filled with fun and chores on the farm. We had fun playing with horses and chickens, and a lot of not so fun just plain working our butts off.

I was just looking at the pictures for this week and it feels more like 2 weeks have passed by! Between caring for an injured horse, cleaning up outside and trying to start our garden the time just flew by. The animals required so much extra time this week.
