We have begun our spring planting in earnest and the primroses and daffodils are out. The supplementary feeding of the birds is working well and everyday we see crowds of birds in the hedgerows.
About 3 weeks ago, we had our tractor stolen. Almost before our eyes. Despite having given chase, we never found it... However, thanks to our insurers, we have been able to buy a replacement - another John Deere. Here some children are enjoying it.
Our new chicks have arrived. Small balls of fluff. We have 15 commercial brown ones and 4 white leghorns. I am always looking for white eggs at Easter time because they are easier to dye. I thought it would be a good idea to have a few hens that lay white eggs. As always, small chicks bring a smile to people's faces.
We are now waiting on a couple of goose eggs which are warming nicely in the incubator.... Fingers crossed.
