I lost two chickens within a week of each other. Harriet was sudden, possible heat stroke. Little Miss (posting her pic was very late, I was too upset) has had numerous problems, and another came up. We decided to have her put to sleep. That was the most heartbreaking, as I was holding her when she was injected and took her final breath. It was really hard.
Three more chickens moved in, they were arriving anyway, and I decided not to postpone. So now there are five. They are all well, although none are laying. The new hens are too young, and the old hens are a combination of old, and stressed. They may lay a few months more when they’ve adapted to the new chooks.
Haven’t taken many pics lately, but I’m harvesting new potatoes, carrots, asparagus peas, romaine lettuce and beets on a regualr basis. The strawberries were bountiful, I’ve frozen 5 litres, and eaten 3 litres in 2-3 weeks! They’re ended now. Oh! And today I ate a handful of blueberries, too.
Courgettes will be ready very soon, as well as french beans. Left a veg box at my neighbours today. I like giving the gift of veg, especially when it’s so colourful!
