A little more of the same.. updates!

Chicks are still doing well. A bit bigger now and the Barred Rocks are finally getting in their tail feathers. Here, take a look:















Lots'a feathers coming in here. Most of the wing feathers are in, and the tail feathers are pretty good too.















This is a beer my Dad gave to me. Try it, he says. Better than most German pils than I've had recently, but didn't really stand out in a crowd. Didn't have that typical corn/almost skunk that a lot of these green bottles seem to have..















Speaking of winners, though.. went to Jody's yesterday and have a pint of the One Bean Bitter that we brewed together. WOW! What a beer! He's already got his on tap.. mine is still a few weeks away from comin' up here... but man, what a brew that was! Really spectacular. I'll get a better review when I get mine online and make it official.

In chicken coop news. Big news! Check this out:

A roof! And..















A window! Oh, snap! That window is actually a double pane of plexiglass that I stuck in there inside the plywood. the plywood is routered in to set the plexi in about 1/8th of an inch. Thanks to my boy Rob K. for the router! Couldn't have done it otherwise. Go buy lots of coffee from his shop there at Plymouth Roasting Co., eh?

Ok, I think that's all I got for the moment...

A week and a half old now...

Here's some new pics of the babies at a week and three days old. Most of them have a good portion of wing feathers in now. One has damn near all of 'em fully in. The Barred Rocks are a little on the slow side, growing in.. but they're coming along too. I dropped their brooder temp to 90 degrees and they all seem to be really happy with it still.





























Here's a shot of my latest masterpiece of egg'n'bacon'n'bagel perfection.

Behold!















that cup of coffee is a Colombian 'Palestine' S.O. masterpiece as well.. really well done, with 26 grams in 9oz through the Aeropress. You *do* have an Aeropress, don't you?

Not much else to report, really... still stalled on the coop while waiting for a router from my boy Rob to arrive, but now that I have it in hand, I should be able to do a little something something on the window I figured out how to install in the coop. Probably be able to figure out that and get some pics in by tomorrow. Stay tuned, true believers...
