Another set of new arrivals have come to the Farmy.
And are under a warm lamp in the basement. Sleeping.
Where no cats are allowed for a while. 
These chickens will be handled often and will come to the old folks home with TonTon and I on ‘Celi’s Travelling Farmy Day’ later in the month. So everyone can have a hold. 
They will eventually join the laying flock.
Happy Easter.
Good morning. What a lovely day! It is dawning fine and clear and sunny this morning.
Yesterday TonTon and I zoomed about in the little cooking oil car and after spending a lovely morning at the Retirement home in one town, we drove to another town and both went into the feed store and picked up the chickens, then we sped over to another town and collected a very bad tempered Mary’s cat from the vet. He is not accepting my apology. He will not concede that such a thing had to be done. And spent the afternoon crouched under the snowball bush, hissing and roaring at any cat who came to say hullo.
Once we all got home after navigating the closed roads I felt like I had driven everywhere twice and that will do until next Friday.
Later yesterday Ton and I gently separated Mia and Mama, so that I can manage Mama’s feed a bit better. I think Mama has been eating Mia’s portion as well. We need to keep Mama’s weight within reasonable bounds. Plus we must be getting close now. And Mia keeps her mother walking. Mia has to keep me in sight so she moves from gate to gate as I work my way around the farm. And of course Mama follows.
Today The Duke of Kupa has his little gate opened. I shall open two other gates creating a corridor out to the South side of the barn. It is the warm side and as you know borders the drive and the gardens. That way if the peacock does peep out he will not have a thousand pound cow peeping back at him! And I am hoping he will allow Peghorn to show him around the barn.
He is still very very quiet. But eats everything except oats ( apparently that is peasant food) and navigates the perches in his room with great dignity. We will see what happens next. He is ahead of schedule but he seems very settled. If we do this slowly I do not think he is a flight risk!
Good morning. I hope you are enjoying a lovely weekend.

Morning Mandy, I am with you on Mama but I think she is going to drag me all the way to the end of April like she did last year (sigh) .. c
Nice. Shown to the lady in the next bed who is a (very deaf) retired farmer. I hope they’re all females!
Welcome back Viv, so sad you are so far away Ton and I would come and visit you and your new neighbour! I ordered females so they had better be!! c
Welcome baby chicks! They always make me think of Easter because General Ekectric (I think) in Brooklyn used to have a window display of baby chicks all scurrying about come Easter time. One of our hens just started sitting last week, so I hope we’ll be welcoming some fluff balls soon ourselves!
It is great fun when you get to hatch them yourselves, I bought these ones so that i was guaranteed hens, we have enough roosters!! That window display must have been so sweet! c
Well, isn’t this the most Easterish place to be this morning.. I’ve had chicks before hatch in my classroom.. they are just the sweetest. Ducks once and I loved how they follow you around:) Happy Easter c xoxo
Oh yes the ducks, we had ducks once too.. Happy easter Smidge! c
Enjoy. ❤
Love to you all Jess! c
Oh, they are sooo cute. What a lovely way to bring a bit of joy to the folks at the Old Folks Home – they will be smiling all day! Happy Easter, Celi.
I hope so, we are booked in to take a few animals on the 26th.. hope I have lambs!! c
Peeps!!!! They are so cute when they are little fuzz balls. Happy Easter, c t
I know, rotton light under a heat lamp but oh well! c
And now baby chicks! Lucky, lucky, girl you are. Wish I was one of your neighbor’s so I could visit a couple of times a week. I wouldn’t even mind if you put me to work!
Looks like we’re going to finally be blessed with a little sun in my neck of the woods for the Easter weekend! Had a horrible migraine all day yesterday and all night so wasn’t able to make your lovely hollandaise. Feeling a bit better this morning so will shoot for it tonight over organic asparagus.
Hope you have a lovely day and a very Happy Easter 🙂

G’morning, Celi! Congrats on the new heartbeats for the farm. I imagine there will be more than a few disappointed web surfers who’ll come to your blog after googling “chick pictures” only to find actual chick pictures. Well, anything to increase traffic. 🙂
It looks like a beautiful day is in store and I hope you get to enjoy it.
Oh Man, I am so dumb, i should have had chick pics as the header!! John is envious of your excursion tomorrow, maybe you will have good weather for a change.. c
