Fall garden


This is the fall garden with my first attempts at growing kale. Surprisingly, it has done really well, and I really like the taste. Also, the spinach and lettuce is doing great. The collards, one bed was eaten by some unknown pest.

Culled another chicken

Unfortunately, we had to cull another one of our chickens. Admittedly, I miss her. How can anyone care for an animal for 2 1/2 years and not get somewhat attached? But I know she was just a farm animal. She had some health problems that I was not able to resolve.

What is up with these two?


These two hens crack me up! Apparently, they want to sit in the same box to lay eggs. There are only three hens in this coop so I know they are not over-crowded. Also, I have tried adding an extra box, but they still insist on sitting in the same box. So I gave up and decided to let them work it out between themselves. Two sitting in the box, while one is waiting, that is too funny!
