Babies are here!
Tried to breed Daffodil and Lily today, but they were not having it. Will try at least one of them again in a couple of days...I only really want 1 litter at a time in the summer heat, esp. now that all the young does have proven they know what to do with babies.
In other farm news, we got a Craigslist rooster today. Not a free dear-god-get-him-out-of-here jerk, but a nice sweet 12 week old Orpington dude I paid 15 bucks for. I'll try to get a picture of him tomorrow. He's black, basically, but with that green sheen like motor oil on water. I know nothing about chicken color genetics, but he's a buff/chocolate cross. We like our buff Orpington, so we hope we'll get a similar temperament with him. He's been handled a fair bit, and both his parents are nice. His father was fucking MAJESTIC, so I'm looking forward to that. No name yet, but then our bird naming is slack.
The coop *should* be done tomorrow, then once the paint fumes air out we can go get our teenage hens from our friends' house, and integrate them all into one big flock.
