At Seven Weeks and In the Big Coop

We moved the left-over new flock outside into the main coop. Put our three remaining hens into an A-frame coop which they are none too happy with that move, but will put them back out in the main coop when the others are big enough to stand their ground in a few more weeks.

Today, we planted 25 Norway Spruce trees. Of the 50 we planted last year, only 4 survived. Ugh. These trees are taller than the ones I bought last year. All bare root and in the ground. Hoping we don't have another summer like the last two summers. These long, hot and dry summers are hard on our attempts to get the Christmas Trees a going.

One of the ducks is limping today. Will try to catch her tonight when it is bedtime. Easier than chasing her and the others around the field in the middle of the day. By putting them to bed in the coop, we can then grab her in a confined space. Need to check to ensure that she isn't getting a sore on her foot.

Meat Chicks will be arriving on Wednesday, and then we will be a step closer at getting our chicken meat raised for the year.

And that's the update for the first week of April, 2023.
