More Chicks and Still Coming and Planting My Rhubarb Plants

Friday June 21, 2019 Guerneville CA.

Getting lots of little peeps

This hen has six peeps born a couple days ago.

Goldie has a bunch

This hen I call Goldie has 11 or 12 little guys. They move around a lot and are hard to count. She seems to be a good momma taking care of them all. Gertie is in the box and should hatch her eggs out in another day or so.

Planting rhubarb plants

When I was shopping a couple days ago I bought some rhubarb plants and now I needed to get them in the ground.

I was thinking of putting them in this spot but I thought it might be too small for all 4 plants when they got bigger.

I dug the plot up and put some redwood leaf mulch in there before planting two of the rhubarb plants.

Here’s the two rhubarb plants planted and now I’m ready to plant the other two plants.

Which I did in this spot after digging it up and mulching it.

Glad to get that job done now they can grow and grow.

Puttering

I puttered around a lot today just checking things and watching the new little peeps and  moving sprinklers to water the weeds for the chickens.

Feeds four at a time

Late in the day I let the chickens get into this Grandpa’s feeder. Who says it can only feed four at a time?

Notice the rooster is smart enough not to get in the middle of all those hens.

Nice day puttering around the yard.
