The first farm animals arrive


Three chickens have moved into the chick-mobil.

5 months old, they are  already averaging 1.5 eggs per day, which is more than enough for us. 


The names, so far, are, left to right:

Dora (the explorer), Snowy, and (shrinking) Violet.


They are amazingly friendly, always coming over to say hello.


Brown dog is entranced by them and would happily spend hours watching. It wasn't wasted effort either, when she saw where I placed an egg the other day while I filled the water. The egg quickly disappeared. I guess you only make that mistake once.

Breakfast, 50% home produce. Yum.


Happy Easter
