Congratulations Black Sheep, patience and determination paid off.
Get your supplies in, never know if you'll be snowed in at this level ?.
When are chicks due?
Just seen the date of your first post, sorry, must have missed that one. Hope everything is going well.
Thanks, yes it really has paid off, its a beautiful spot and more land than we ever imagined we'd have.
Chicks are coming up to 2 weeks old and doing well - we incubated 27 eggs, 18 were fertile at a week, 15 hatched although one had to be euthanised, but 13/14 doing well, one little one doesn't seem to be growing as fast as the others but is still up and about. They're a mixture of Rhode Island Red, Buff Sussex and Light Sussex.
Will definitely be stocking up for winter in case - thanks for the reminder. Hope you are well too :-)
