This week has been busy here at our farm. The Chickens are doing well and have switched from organic chick feed to organic growers feed with some supplemented scratch. They are starting to get big and fat :)

| Gretel and Hansel |
Hansel and Gretel are now 11 weeks old and starting to really grow. They love for us to come give them attention and often call for me and the boys to come out and play. The boys like to get in their pen and let them crawl all over them.
The ducks now have full use of the pond and are growing big and strong. We did lose one though but we still have 12. They come right up to me and tonight they ate right out of my hand.
The garden is doing pretty good, we started eating lettuce and cherry tomatoes out of it this week. The cold temps in June really didn't help it to grow. We are making up for that this month with temps in the 85*-98* range. I can't wait for more veggies to grow!
This week we also added something new to the farm, 20-2 day old chicks!
They are Easter Eggers, New Hampshires, Plymouth Rock Barred and Buff Orphingtons. They are all females and 2 of each will be kept for eggs and the rest for eating. They have already left their home in the basement and are on the deck in the brooder coop. They are so cute!
On a sad note.......this week John's bunny Jack died for no apparent reason. We will probably be replacing his bunny soon.
That sums up this week on the farm :)
