Then a couple of days later, I found a hen that was being given away with a clutch of 5 babies who were a week old. I am hoping to get at least 1 hen from the little bunch of babies.
The funny thing is, now the duds have learned from the new girls who have taught them how to scavenge, peck and scratch and it's great to see. One of the white hens has begun to lay and as you can see by the green eggs, my little araucana is laying as well.
Here's a glimpse at my very prolific garden, not bad seeing we have just finished Winter. I'm waiting for some of my produce to finish so I have room for my spring crops.
The grass growing around the base of the raised beds is getting very long and lush. I have been harvesting it to throw into the chooks. |
