Spring has sprung! Random pictures of signs of spring
#1
In the past week or so it's been decided that spring is really here. We've had wonderful weather (low 80's, no humidity, night time lows in the high 50's) and everything is green again. We got our garden mostly planted this weekend and my husband built a little mini coop for my two banties that are setting a little clutch of eggs. They both went broody at the same time so I stuck them in together to tend to one nest. The eggs aren't actually theirs but they don't care. :) The eggs are from my Production Red hens and my Buff Orpington rooster. I candeled the eggs yesterday at 9 days and was so excited to see the little embryo inside squirming and moving about. One was a dud so I threw it out.
It was also warm enough that my kids played in the sprinkle this weekend while I planted some flowers. Awwww, life is good. :)

Had to add a picture of my hen house because it's so darn cute

I really love my hen house. It was my Christmas gift from my husband. His friends though he was nuts when he said that's what he got me for Christmas but it's what I really wanted. :)
