First of all.. Sorry this picture is blurry. Thanks to my DD who took pic.. anyway.. I know I haven't been around here that much. Been busying.

So far I still have two barred rock hen plus two baby chicks that friend want to rid of due not know how to take care of chicks. Heard about what happened to my 9 chickens that got killed last early spring. They brought us cute two chicks which I don't know what breed they are. I think they are mixed. I will take picture and post here. I put them in cage and put in the pen with two hens. I know they should not be mix cause the hen would kill the younger. More safety to be keep them in the cage for a while.

The hen I held is one year old. I still want to order some more chicks later when the time is right. Righ tnow I have bunch things to do plus I will have surgery coming tuesday and I won't be able to do the work in garden.. feed chicken and more for few weeks or a month. :o(
