Spring has come to paradise!

Spring is officially here! We got the baby chickens into their outside pen yesterday, and they are loving it!! They have been dusting, laying in the sun, scratching in the leaves and enjoying being able to run in their pen. 

The grown up chickens are enjoying the weather too! They can get out and scratch in the leaves now that the snow is finally gone. They also enjoy the heat of the sun.

The bees are also glad that winter is finally over. They have been bringing in pollen like champs and the queen is already laying eggs.

Dad and I did some spring cleaning in the hive and ended up with quite a bit of burr comb. That means I have lots of beeswax to render. Perhaps I'll do a video sometime!!

Well I'm off to enjoy the sunshine myself! Until next time, Happy Easter and God bless!!

Sunshine chickens

Here is today's picture. The days are getting shorter and colder, so any bit of sunshine we get is wonderful, and the chickens agree with me. Here is Nugget soaking up some rays. The last few days they have been stuck inside, so they relished his chance to go outside to scratch, hunt worms in he garden, and lay in the sun. Love my chickies!
