Missouri Wildflowers Part III

This is a group of chicory in the meadow on our farm. I love this wildflower!

Close-up of red clover. Horses and cattle really love this sweet stuff, and so do the bees!


Queen Anne's lace, another favorite, so graceful and delicate looking.

Baby Chicks Just Starting Out

This is how tiny our baby chicks were just a month ago. We ordered them from the cackle hatchery in Lebanon, Mo. http://www.cacklehatchery.com/ and picked them up from the post office early in the morning after the post office gave us a call to let us know they had arrived.

We got Aracaunas, New Hampshire Reds, Barred Rock Plymouths and two roosters called Partridge Rock, for their interesting colors. They've already grown quite a bit, so I'll post some current pics later.

This is how big they are now only after a month! The hens should be laying eggs by this fall.

Elvis lives!!!

That is, our rooster Elvis! He has such an Elvis hair doo, Elvis strut and Elvis coolness, lol! Isn't he a pretty boy?
He's a barred rock plymouth chicken, my sister Jamie brought to me from Independence. She found him on craig's list. One of the aracauna hens is standing behind him here....It may be Robin or Nosey. Hard to tell from the back side, ha ha ha.
