Melt Away!

The Lough Ranch welcomed 16, cute, fuzzy, four day old, baby chicks into the chicken house today. Half-pint and I dunked there beaks in water and settled them in after a quick trip to town with Super Feed/Seed Lady and her keys. Don't worry they are not with the hens. They have their own fresh sawdust, chick-go feed, and water in the cozy Rubbermaid tank in which they will call home for a few months. Then they will move to a bigger, scarier pen outside in the real world. Hopefully in 9 months they will begin to produce farm fresh eggs. Dally may never get off the chain again, unless she promises never to eat young chickens. We also have cucumber, chives, and basil spouts in the eggs carton, window garden. Springtime is great, melt away snow!
