What a wonderful sunrise!
The air conditioning is finally off, the windows are open, and wow the sun is shining!
Ginny - This is your little gal. She has "racing stripes" on her eyes. She's gonna be a beauty for sure.
I've got a busy day ahead but wanted to get some notes in and a quick update on our crazy hatch. We now have a total of 15 (or sixteen?) chicks - all one or two days apart. I moved them our of their brooder and into a kiddie in the basement.
The mob. I love how they are all in a clump.
Monday we had three new arrivals - including this little guy. I had to help pip him out of his shell... but he's doing just fine. See that the pine bedding gets into everything. I put their waterer on a plastic lid and it keeps it much cleaner than this. I use empty cat food cans as feeders for these little ones.
Little Baldy is still their leader. Here he's making sure that the new arrivals are well supervised.

Seedlings:
Broccoli + cabbage
Row nearest fence:
Butternut squash
Long row before raised bed:

Happy Wednesday everyone!
