Also the chickens have started laying! Or at least a few have. See the smallest egg in the image. It's next to "regular" sized eggs in a carton of store-bought eggs. Is it the last store-bought? Fingers crossed.
The leghorn, Miss Blanca, is the smallest of them all and she is already showing her genetic strength, laying the largest of the pullet sized eggs and nearly the most regular already.
It is such a wonderful surprise to open the nesting box door and discover these jewels waiting. I am checking the boxes a couple times a day for now and will increase to three times as more chickens begin to lay.
Also, the turkeys are scheduled to arrive at the end of April or early May. I am getting ready.
