| Nathaniel Hawthorn and Charlotte Dickens spent their first day outside. |
 |
| They were thrilled and enjoyed the new coop Art assembled for them. The five wyandotte chicks are thriving in their little brooder and will join Nathaniel and Charlotte in about 5 weeks. |
 |
| Noami, Don, and I put the plastic "skin" on the hoop-house today. |
 |
| Art and Noami worked on preparing this reclaimed door. |
 |
| Now we'll be able to really get started. |
 |
| Lucy spends most of her days gazing and prowling around the two chick brooders |
 |
| Chick Yoga. |
 |
| We picked up our Blue Laced Red Wyandotte chicks from our neighbor with whom we shared an order. |
 |
| They're adorable and when they're not nodding off in an alarming slump they're quite the chatterboxes. |
 |
| Jack with friends from next door Laynie and Johnny |
 |
| Tulips are coming in. |
 |
| Noami, Don, and Art worked on moving and re-constructing the hoophouse this weekend. We're waiting for a VERY calm day to install the plastic. |
 |
| Meet Charlotte Dickens and Nathaniel Hawthorne. I'm pretty certain that Charlotte (a Buff Orpington) is a pullet and that Nathaniel (probably a NH Red cross) is a cockerel. His comb is not only bigger but is starting to get darker already. They also react to sudden noises and movements very stereotypically. |
