Oh, we had grand, exotic plans! International travel plans ... Casablanca to Marakesh plans ... all cancelled due to the Covid-19 coronavirus. Well, there's nothing to be done about a global pandemic, except shelter in place at home ... and raise a flock of chickens!
April 1, we picked up our chicks from our local seed and feed store ... 10 biddies and 1 little rooster (the one with the green head). These are Dominiques (aka Dominickers), America's oldest breed of chicken, and the same type of chicken I had in my first flock.
We got them all set up on the screened-in porch, in a kiddy pool, under a tarp. Rouse made them a little "house" in which to take shelter. They were cozy under a heat lamp.
