Well! I see it's been a little over a year since I posted anything about the farm! It has been a very difficult year. And a hard winter. The chickens didn't lay an egg for probably 6 months, but I have an old faithful that has begun laying nice brown eggs. I am down to 13 chickens (including 2 roosters), and a pair of ducks, but I am to 3 bunnies. Another chocolate and a white have joined us. They are named Fufu, and Chocolate respectively.
Looking for some input... I am planning a big garden this year, but undecided whether I should get more chicks and bees. Any comments or opinions?

Getting spring fever! Tapped the maples today, cleaned the chickens nest boxes and the rabbit cage. Groomed the rabbit (I can't remember what I named her) as you can see in the picture. I think I gave her an alter ego. Apparently I have been remiss in her care. Hauled 200 # of feed (50 # at a time), looked on Craigslist for chicks. What kind should I get this year? What are your favorites?

"There is to me
A daintiness about these early flowers,
That touches me like poetry. They blow out
With such a simple loveliness among
The common herbs of pasture, and they breathe
Their lives so unobtrusively, like hearts
Whose beatings are too gentle for the world.

Would you be strong? Go followup the plough;
Would you be thoughtful? Study fields and flowers;
Would you be wise? Take on yourself a vow
To go to school in Nature's sunny bowers.
Fly from the city; nothing there can charm-
Seek wisdom, strength and virtue on a farm."

Our muscovy ducks are starting to get quite a following and we may end up having a waiting list for ducklings this year. YAY!!!!!

after a delay, the muscovy drakes are scheduled for delivery today. I delivered 5 araucana roosters to an Amish farm last night. And so happy they won't be eaten. He was excited to have them, saying the kids like the blue eggs... Yay roosters! Still have 3 cochin roosters for sale... any takers?

6 of my muscovy boys are headed to Pennsylvania to their new home. Scheduled to be delivered at 10 tonight. I still have many roosters that need good homes! Anyone need one? Thinking about my chick order... and seeds...

I posted my extra roosters on craigslist- they are so friendly I hate to see them go, but they're pestering my girls!!! I would keep one of them as a pet if I could have him in the house- he's awesome- and beautiful... If anyone is interested, I'm making deals... just sayin'
