These First Days of Sun

While not officially Spring, you couldn't tell by the gorgeous mild day we're having. I have the back door and windows open to the breeze and warmth. I'm moving slowly under the hay fever meds, but trying to get a few things done. I really need to get the house tidied up, then cleaned. I broke down yesterday and did something I swore I'd never do - I bought chicken-themed decor items. *hangs head in shame*. Granted, they are more modern folkcraft than country kitch. I might even get a few reproduction metal farm sign to decorate the new coop.

I've got to get back outside and do a few things.

Farm work day

We've been crazy busy here today -
I cleaned off the back porch and moved the larger Metroshelving into the blue shed. The wood shelving unit is now on the back porch holding our yard shoes. We use the shelves for holding food, coolers, etc. when we BBQ in the summer, so they are useful.

I moved the brooder chicks into the blue shed coop, then Scarlet to the old hutch coop where Ruby was already asleep. I hooked up an LED sensor nightlight in there to keep the gals company. Scarlet didn't seem too interested in taking care of the chicks, but then she didn't attack them either which is a good sign. There's now two heat lamps out there to keep the chicks warm, which should be fine. It's 44F out there right now and it's almost 70F where they are in the coop.
