It's Spring and I'm like most gardeners that want to start planting in my garden. I know it's too early in our area, we still have some cold nights and the last frost could be as late as the last week of April. My seedlings are growing, I re-pot the young cucumber plants in bigger… Continue reading It feels Like Springtime
The seeds all sprout and I am so glad to see all the young plants. It's still too cold to plant in the garden, I normally plant them in late April. In the past, I bought young plants from the local nursery and it was very expensive. I could only afford to buy a handful… Continue reading Seedlings Update
The chicks are over 2 weeks old now, and last Sunday Bo delivered them to his mom. The photos below were taken at 2 day old, only 25 of the 41 eggs hatched survived. The bathroom/tub is not an ideal place to hatch and raise them, I have noticed that I had gotten sick the… Continue reading Incubator Chicks Update

This little fellow is a mixed breed with a Feather Footed Bantam, there are feathers on his legs. The one on the right hand side is the youngest, and… Continue reading 7 Day Old Chicks
It has been a busy weekend for us, so far 16 chicks hatched and there might be a few more hatching tonight. The chicks are healthy, and probably thought that Lee is their mom. Lee helped chirping to encouraging them to hatch and at one point she said she gave birth to 5 chicks. I… Continue reading 1 Day Old Chicks
Bo has been trying to hatch his mom's chicken eggs by using the incubator and this is his first success. He didn't keep track of the number of days, and it takes about 19-21 days for the chicken eggs to hatch. The first egg hatched around 1:15 am last night, and I'm glad the second… Continue reading Incubator Chicks
