Second Batch of Chicks

There are six partridge colored (three dark and three light) and one little white fella!

Life in the Coop

Here they are all in a row! Unfortunately, due to the hawks, the Silkies can't come out to play. They refuse to go upstairs to sleep inside the coop. Instead, they cuddle up next to the door in the run.

Exploring the Garden

WOW! How fast they grow!

Here is Fluffernutter now! He/she has grown so much. The Silkies are enjoying the beautiful outdoor weather almost as much as I am. Tomorrow is "field day". Only 12 more days of school left! Check back often as I have some more surprises for you in the incubator.

Getting Ready for Summer!

I have been getting ready for summer!  It's so exciting to know that I will have all that time to myself again.  This has been a very busy school year.  Mrs. Loewenberg and I will miss you all when you move on to 3rd grade.  This year is the first time I hatched chickens.  The Silkie chicks you saw in school are growing a bit every day.

This is the only one I have named so far.  His name is Fluffernutter.  I'm thinking it's a boy, but it could be a girl.  I won't know for sure until September or October.  I will be posting pictures of his/her growth here on my Summer Blog.  So, check back often.

First Egg

The "girls" have begun laying and as of today I have two eggs!

Quail Heaven

Nothing like a good dust bath in the sod!
