It's been a while since we had a chicken update, and in early spring, so much of my focus turns to the chickens. In mid February, the chickens get busy (if you know what I mean). Kenny Rogers, our rooster, has turned out to be the best rooster I've ever had. Isn't he handsome? He's an Easter Egger. The girls have been laying lots of lovely blue and green eggs.
For Christmas, Dave got me a new incubator. I promptly used it to hatch a mixed batch of Marans. Here is a White Marans chick. Look at his lovely feathered feet. Too bad he's a rooster.
Yesterday I set 2 dozen green eggs to hatch on St. Patty's Day. The chicks will be a mix of Ameraucanas and Easter Eggers. So cute!
Coming soon...more chicken pictures, and even more knitting projects.
