The Farm – new chicks, new flock

So on our trip to Ontario this past summer, we did a little side trip to Nova Scotia, summerville to get some fertilized bresse eggs. These eggs, when hatched and raised, are gonna be our new dual-purpose flock, basically eggs and meat.

So with the new eggs in the incubator it was time getvthe run and hen coop ready. I planted a little garden around the run and it has been most amazing.

The eggs started to hatch 2 days early…. so exciting. Not as many hatched asni had hoped for but we will take what we get♡.

Charlie of course couldn’t help himself and had to come up and see what all the chirping was about.

Surprise…..

We gor a surprise chicken….. only the past week could I tell what it was not the 2 opts…. black orrpington…..

The new flocknis in the coop and are as of today integrated with the other three chickens I have that are about 11-12 weeks old, very big and should be maturing in about 4 or 5 weeks….. how exciting.

Yes thw hurricane hit and the chickens are all good the coop moved a few feet by being pushed by the fallen barn. The run got mangled but we were able to prop it up temporarily until we can move the coop to a new location but all is well♡

The coop needs a new paint job as well…. maybe barn red…hmmmm
