So for chicks we have 4 hay loft chicks (crosses from our current chickens) and the chicks from McMurray hatchery. These were 15 All Heavies, 16 Araucanas, 1 Speckled Sussex and 1 surprise chick. So now I am trying to figure out what I have exactly. I would love any input you have into this.
Hayloft Bielefelder mix?
Buff Orpington?

Araucana?

And here are the chicks are their new, clean shavings.
In other news, one of the peahens laid an egg finally, but in a bad spot, right nest to a pen door. So we are not optimistic about this.
And Peppa and George have graduated to the pig trough.
The goats still enjoy bamboo.
And Ryeleigh’s new duck toy arrived today. And she loves it. You can see she is preferring it to the gutted Mr. Bill. Maybe we have a winner?!? Thanks Jeanne!
Lastly for dinner I made Pork Loin Chops with Roasted Rhubarb. Here it is about to go in the oven,
and here it is on my plate. I ate less than half of it, but it was really good. And it is truly a farm meal as the pork, rhubarb and beans are from our farm.
What a wonderful little brood!
Thanks Dorothy! I am enchanted.
I love all your pictures!! Thanks for sharing them!!
You are welcome!
I forgot to mention that your pork loin chops and roasted rhubarb sounds really delicious! I never would have thought of making something like that! Do you plan to make it again?
Tom is getting a little tired of rhubarb so it will probably be a once yearly thing.
