Recent farm photos

Busy as usual. Peas are winding down but the beans are coming on so still a lot of picking ahead. Also still trying to catch up with the weeds. Chickens have me runnng as usual. Getting some moved out to the pasture in the garden.

Here's a few recent pix.


A couple of chickens in the side yard. These 2 Buff Orpingtons will actually roam pretty far across the road.


Doesn't look like much more than a weed patch from afar. In fact, in the foreground nothing is planted; it's all weeds. But if you look closer in the rows in the background...

One of the hens was out brooding and recently returned with 5 little ones in tow. Such a delight to watch. She's very protective and keeps the cats and other hens at bay by fluffing up and charging if necessary.

My daughter watches the mama and chicks roam.
