This is Texas girls, your gonna love it.

So those are chickens!

You may have to look close to find Cleo the Cat as she gets her first look at the chickens.

Isn't Texas Great! March and 74 degrees. Green grass.

The chickens are home and seem to be settled in, we're getting about 4 eggs a day from the 5 hens. Well, settled in is a relative thing I guess, if your ready for snow on the first full day of spring.

Yes, I know it was in the 70's yesterday, but this is Texas

Friday in the 70's, by Saturday night it was in the 30's and Sunday morning snow. Monday is to be sunny and back in the 60's and Tuesday in the 70's again. And the grass under the snow will still be green. I just wish it would dry out on the weekends so I could get a garden planted. I'm two weeks behind on getting the patatoes and onion in the ground.

The hoop house/coop is built sled style so it can be moved around the pasture. They have cleaned all the greens out of their 8' x 18' area in one week. Plans were to move it Saturday but a little Texas weather blew in and changed the plan. Maybe it will be dry enough next week to get the truck in the pasture. In the meantime I'll pull some clover and give them.

This is Chance, if your really good friends with him you can call him "Fat Chance". He's really a Rat Terrier, but in the picture above he was doing his impression of a Pointer. He just doesn't have much to point with.

And here he is with his buddy Roudy, getting a close look at the new arrivals.

I'm really behind because of the wet spring. I've had plans to have a small greenhouse up and filled with seeds by now. It just hasn't worked out because of the weather. Also wanted a small hoop house up and covered to use for a brooder this week. Looking at the weather forcast, I'll be really lucky if I can have them complete by next weekend. Oh well, those chicks, peeps, ducklings and keets can grow in someone else's brooder for another week or so.
