So January has been a crazy month weather wise. We started out with a week of subzero temps, which meant going outside a whole lot to keep an eye on everyone. What was hilarious was the fact that I had on multiple layers, and was freezing, and my chickens were acting like it was nothing!!! Crazy birds.
So in the middle of all that cold, one of my 4 month old Barred Rock hens decided it's time to start laying, and she has not missed a day yet. I'm rather impressed by her, I just can't wait for the rest I them to start laying.
One of my non farming friends wanted to see what the difference is between a chicken and a duck egg was. So I took a picture and sent it to her. I'm pretty sure you all can tell which is the duck, and which is the chicken in that middle pucture.
Sam and Jasper turned 7 years old this month. Time has certainly flown. So I decided that since Sam will get upstairs no matter what, it was time to do away with the baby gate. It took Jasper about a week to try the stairs, but he now goes up and lays in my sewing room when I'm working on something.
Everything else is going well here. I'm about to start designing my first web page to sell hatching eggs. It's a project we are really excited about, and hope will do fairly well. We really do have a lot of fun with our birds, and enjoy working with them. I will do my best to keep you all updated on the progress of that.
