Just picked up my new chickens, well they're not chickens yet, the other day from Seattle Farm Supply. They are currently cheeping, eating and pooping in their brooder, I hate to sound like an adolescent girl but they are super cute! Very interesting to watch too, I haven't been responsible for a small creature in a while and it's fun, hopefully they turn out okay. Two Americauna chicks are two weeks old and the Speckled Sussex and Brahma are three weeks. I guess I better get cracking on the coop. We've got the design worked out, but I need supplies and an extra body to get it up in, ideally, one day. I'll see how much I can prep this week and potentially erect it Friday or Saturday.
This is also going to be my kick in the seat to start on the garden/yard project I have tentatively set for myself this year. Just had my interest piqued in "The One Straw Revolution" about a sort of Zen approach to farming and gardening, I need to pick that one up from the library or maybe Elliott Bay Books, I do love buying books...
