The Spirit of Optimism

"Cultivate an attitude of happiness. Cultivate a spirit of optimism. Walk with faith, rejoicing in the beauties of nature, in the goodness of those you love, in the testimony which you carry in your heart concerning things divine."



-Gordon B. Hinckley

Cheep, Cheep

The new chicks - Buff Opingtons and Barred Rock
We lost 6 out of 18. 


They were kept in the house until they were fully feathered.


When we put them in with the 12 week Rhode Island Reds they were severly picked on and ran in a corner.  When I put them out together the next day, they ran out before I could get them in.  They knew what was going to happen and were traumatized....


They are doing really well now.  I keep them separated still until they are big enough to stand their ground.


These ladies started laying a couple of weeks ago.  This one is getting ready to lay her egg for the day. 
These are expecting more treats.  They love the meal worms and crickets that they get once a day.
