Christmas chicks

Originally uploaded by edgwickfarm

My chicken flock was devasted over the summer by predators and lost over 50% of them. Over this winter I am going to incubate and hatch as many replacement hens as I can. These four hatched today from the first batch.

Beautiful!

Sometimes a kid is born with bent hocks. If they are splinted for a few days, the problem clears up.

These two lovely girls out of Bambi greeted me in the goat shed this morning. They were dry, alert, walking around and already had nursed so Bambi had them some time during the night in the twenty degree weather.

Summer vacation

edgwickfarm — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 09:52:51 +0000

I am off to Maine for five days for a much needed break and time with my large extended family. We have rented cabins on a lake at Maine Wilderness Camps. My friend Xuni came in from Oregon to take care of the farm while I am gone. I promise a full update on the farm when I return.
