Picked up More Chicks

I picked up 21 chicks from Tractor Supply thus week. They are all layers.

I have Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds and 3 Green Eggers.

Today Max accidentally stepped on of the the Eggers. He likes to go sniff them and try to lick them.

We have them in our tub we don't use with the heat light on and the shower curtain closed.

I'm hoping they get their duck supply in today. I want to replenish the ducks seems the mink got all of our adult ducks.

It has been an interesting week. Our pellet stove hopper caught on fire..we aren't sure why as we clean it regularly. 

I'm thankful I noticed it before the fire spread to the walls.  We are waiting for a repair person to come look at the stove.

A few farm pics

Here are a few recent farm pics.

Donkey has adjusted to his needs barn friends. He is no longer kicking when they get near his food. 

We finally figured out what hasbkilled all of my ducks and most of my chickens it is a mink. Today we are borrowing a friend's trap and will get rid of it!!

I want to get more but am not going to until we get rid of the mink.

Today I will start my onions. I need to find my grow lamp first. It is either upstairs or in the basement.

I've been letting the geese out of the barn. There is a puddle near the door of the barn which they love to "swim" in. They tried swimming in their pool but the pool is still snowy and icy.

We had a cord of wood delivered this past week. We were getting pretty low. I will be so happy when it warms up and we only need to use the pellet stove to take the chill out of the house!! 

In April we will find out what we are having for a grandchild.  I can't wait to go to Vermont and find out!!! 

Today we need to pick up my car from Town Fair Tire. I had to get 3 new tires put on. Then whenever we get our income taxes it will go to the dealership to get all 4 tires aligned. 

What does everyone think of the crazy gas prices?? It cost $50 for the spouse to fill my car. It usually cost $37-40. I know for a lot of my friends it cost $100. Oil prices are ridiculously high as well. I'm thankful for our wood.

Time for me to go feed my animals.

Have a great day everyone!!
