We visited a new farm store out in Maple Valley. It was a nice drive, and well worth the trip. We purchased four more broilers, diatomaceous earth, starter feed, and cedar animal bedding. They said the hay is free to bag ourselves, but we need to bring the bags. We wished we would have known that beforehand...
Off to the other feed store to purchase a hay bale and some alfalfa for the rabbits.
We got home and readied the coop for the little broilers. We let them run around a bit in the chicken tractor away from harm, but they just huddled together in the corner. They'll get use to it here soon enough. The woman that sold them to us said we can process them at twelve weeks if we wanted to. Let them plump up a bit more. Think we might see how that goes. They're about two weeks old.
The Donnas enjoyed sons yogurt this afternoon and made a mess if their chin feathers!
Lots of odds and ends taken care of...pulled weeds, watered twice since we will be visiting family this weekend, laid hay down for the berries, tended to the rabbits, and added more lines for the trellises.
Time to rest.
