It has been a stressful two weeks in the working world, tensions and frustrations on high after I got into an argument with a lazy co-worker last Thursday. It's nice to come home to the animals, wake up to the animals, be constantly coaxed into action by needy mouths and dirty brooders. It's crazy how fast everything happened, it seems like just a week ago I was complaining about the lack of progress. Now each evening after work we are graced with several hours of daylight for projects (at least some days, our out of shape winter bodies are not as enthusiastic as we are.) The chicks and ducks are growing so very fast, today it seemed the ducks heads were almost touching the top of the brooder. Fortunately the coop is nearly completed, hopefully I can make enough money to get the poultry wire this week. The chicks have been interesting to watch grow, noticing the differences in the three different breeds we have. The meat birds obviously bigger, clumsier, and uglier already. Two of the red pullets are still smaller than the other two, and less colorful. We have been moving them into a big dog crate in the yard during the day to get some fresh air and grass. They seem to love their play time, the ducks don't bully the chicks at all, though they do keep to their separate groups. The baby bunnies are growing up quickly too, venturing out of the nest box just for a few sips of water now and then.
Also, my boyfriend has dreadlocks, and he looks very hot.
And I felt like you should know.
Until next time,
Angela Kelly
