Hello,
We are expecting a little snow today so I made sure the bird feeders are full. There are many sparrows which live and nest of the farm, Juncos’ , Chickadee’s, Blue Jay’s and a pair of Cardinals. Sometimes during the winter I will see Finches and Grosbeak’s. These birds earn their winter keep. I rarely have mosquitos in the summer.
About 6 or 7 years ago I planted a Christmas type tree and some Holly near the feeders. Its has been a successful planting as it gives the birds protection from the few cats which roam the neighborhood , shelter from storms and a safe place to eat their seeds.
AMELIA’S FEATHERS
As you can see in the picture Amelia’s feathers have really come out. I finally found the right group of chickens for her. She is happier now . You can still see the purple of the Blue-Kote which I kept spraying on to protect her.
The rest of the hens have now returned to laying. Yesterday I got 5 eggs.
Thank you so much for reading my blog. I hope you have a wonderful day. Carole
