I picked up 8 new chicks yesterday at New Haven Elevator, that I had ordered in March. I bought a nice variety of pullets, and they should eventually lay green eggs, or brown. My adult hens are getting old, and not laying so many eggs anymore, so I have to get their replacements started. I still keep the old hens around, as retirees, and they don’t end up in the stewpot! I enjoy raising the chicks. They are very cute, and tiny. I’ll keep you posted as they grow.

Weather is much more like spring now, but I still have a few patches of snow on the north side of the barn.
