Definitely starting to see some signs of spring around GalliStead. The fruit trees are blooming, asparagus is popping up, and saw tons of frogs around the pond! Plus just a few birdies I have seen around this week!

Brian helped me build a new brooder for the chicks. We used the guidance provided here. We liked this idea because it was simple and we could easily take it apart for storage once the chicks don’t need it anymore. We needed a bigger area…

Decided it was time to try our hand at raising baby chicks again. We got Rhode Island Reds, Buff Orpington, Black Sex Link, and Barred Rocks this go around. Started with ten but already lost one last night. They are pretty cute!
