Finally, an update....

The first rule of blogging and website maintenance is keep your site fresh with frequent updates and changes. This is what I read again and again when I first started out with all this.  I swore to myself that I would do just that, because I check other favorite sites frequently looking for updates. I am disappointed if there are no new blog entries.

Well, it’s been more than a month since I updated.  I could try to blame it on lots of things, but instead I’ll just promise to try to do better in the future

The last month has been unseasonably cold and wet and grey.  This was hard on our new baby chicks. Sadly, we lost a bunch of them the first week or so.  Now that they are bigger and tougher, along with the improved weather, we expect things to proceed much better.  My camera is still in the shop – don’t ask, it just makes me furious to talk about it – so I still have no pictures to show you.  One batch of chickens is still sheltered in the little brooder that Shannon custom built for us. The other batch is in the chicken tractor which gets opened up each morning and closed up each evening.  “What’s a chicken tractor?”, you ask.  Stay tuned, and I’ll tell you all about it one day soon.  I’ll include pictures, too – hopefully (Grrr.)
