Chickens

Here are the future laying hens.Front row from left to right Welsummer (pink feet), Ancona (black and yellow), Gold Campine (blue feet), Russian Orloff (yellow feet) and a Silver Grey Dorking (pink feet with an extra toe).

I haven't decided whether I'll be showing at the county fair yet. I have to get the entry in soon so I'll have to make my decision before I even know if I've got birds that meet the standards. That's the down side to getting chicks later in the year.

Mowing the Orchard

Moved the pregnant ewes and mowed their old pen to reset the grass growth. We needed to chop off the seed heads and get it back to growing more leaves. It should be ready to graze again in 2-3 weeks.

Dog House? Sheep House?

So is this a sheep in a dog house? or a dog in a sheep house?
