Well, it's official. We have another edition to the farmstead crew. We went to the doctor today to confirm I that I am 7-weeks pregnant and the baby looks healthy!
On or around Sept 16th, we'll have a major culture shift around our house, but how exciting! We are both so excited at the prospect of raising a child that appreciates where his/her food comes from, how to grow it with their own hands (chemical free of course) and hopefully will want to carry on this way of life.

Yet another chick!
This morning all of the chicks looked fine. I checked them around lunchtime and one is really weak and looked nearly dead. I checked his bum and it looked just fine. I tried dipping his beak in water and tried to get him to eat. A few minutes later he died in my hand. I have no idea why. Sigh.

2 more chicks...
Two more of our baby chicks died today. We think the culprit is 'pasty butt'. We've been diligently watching and wiping behinds now.

Lost a chick :(
One of the chicks was very sick and weak looking when we opened the box. We were hoping for the best, but he didn't make it. So sad! :(
The chicks are here! The chicks are here!
The post office just called to tell us our chicks arrived. Dan's on the way to pick them up now...
