Mom's Day Pullets, Hens, Eggs, Cats & Veggies

Today is Mother's Day and temps are supposed to hit 90F.

Hens and pullets are well-shaded, well watered and with a gentle breeze, should do fine.

We are getting three of our two-year-old hens ready for sale. They are still producing nicely for their age.

The Rhode Island Red pullets are quite chatty and friendly.  I'll try to get some audio/video of them next time. For now, this is their size at three months of age.

One cat on the prowl, one cat asleep and the other is hiding.


Harpo is 12 years

Ginger will be 8 years in Sept!
The Garden Box is starting, little by little. This year, I started the Garlic (last fall) in a container because the winter garden box got damaged last fall and the other was not prepped for winter planting. Also, the tomato plants and the pepper plants are thriving in the green house.
