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.

That is so totally cool! We had to hatch some baby chicks when I was at school. i’d totally forgotten about it until I saw your pictures! Enjoy your easter weekend with all on your farm!
Oh, I know they will be excited to see those little puff balls.

Those fluffy chicks look gorgeous and how lovely to know they will go on a visit to The Old Folks Home. Happy Easter.
