This sunflower quilt block was the trial run for the larger ones we have planned for the side of the shop. This was really easy to do so now we are excited to tackle the larger ones.
We picked up the new girls on Thursday evening. We got 5 new hens and one rooster.
After our poor experience in the fall of trying to introduce new birds we decided to keep the old and the new separated for the time being. Our plan is to raise our own chicks in the future as getting a new flock every few years can be expensive. The Buff Orpington's are supposed to be good mamas so sometime in the future we will let her go broody and raise a few chicks. Just another adventure here on the homestead. We will try to get a few good pictures of the rooster in the next few days. He is still a bit skittish of us but he has beautiful iridescent tail feathers
