And so it begins.... the garden is being put in. Weed fabric is down and we put a bird net over the top ( I didn't think to get a picture of... later, I will.
Weed fabric. Garlic strip on right under straw for winter
Uncovering the garlic for sunshine and ~20 mm (3/4") rain 'they' say we're getting.
Gertrude is setting up her nest and she was pulling hair yesterday which usually means kits are imminent. Nothing as yet though.
Here are some updated pictures of them all:
Gertrude (with nesting box)
Nesting box is being renovated to accommodate the babies (kits)
Mabel
(seems to be getting a double chin so we'll see)
All 12 chickens having a blast in the chicken run
We are super excited to get our first set of kits from Gertrude anytime now. Also quite hopeful that Mabel is pregnant too but I am still unsure about her. She will be going to freezer camp anyway because she attacked Peter and we don't want to breed aggression.
