Making some progress

The baby geese are getting bigger. I put up a partition fence so they and the meat chicks could come out of their half of the chicken house and play in the yard. They are making a big mess inside that I was having to clean just about every day. 
As soon as I taught the geese that they could play with the water in the pool they decided it would be a good idea to take a bath. Then one after another they took turns at underwater swimming. It was pretty funny to watch them. 
The new egg hens have arrived. We received 16 buff orphingtons and 10 auracanas.  I'm pretty excited to add to my flock since I believe all of my producing auracannas are gone.  There are a few of older hens around but I am finding now green eggs anymore. Some of the buff orphingtons are designated for my sister who will finally be set up to have chickens in her back yard this year.

The garden finally dried out enough to get tilled and ready to plant.  The onions are already in the ground and growing great. I planted the potatoes and green beans this week and will sprinkle some more root veggie seeds soon.
See me sitting in the garden?   Still working to find all the strawberries under all the grass that has grown into the garden and taken up residence.

The new rabbit hutch has been added now. I also put in some pavers in my walking path so that I'm not walking in the mud when I'm feeding/watering in the winter. New water bottles (heated) feeders and hay racks have been ordered and will arrive any day.  Hope to see our new bunnies in about 3 weeks.
I have decided that the garden, chickens and rabbits are my favorite things in my yard. It is a bit of work to maintain, but it is much more gratifying to do that work and see the results in your hands than to work day after day and never see the end result. Jobs in the real world make you feel you are spinning your wheels and getting no where. They are frustrating and make you tired of life.. they suck the life out of you.  Working in your own yard, producing some thing useful you can hold in your hands gives you life.
