Red Golden Pheasant eggs

It's definitely that time of the year! Now there are seven eggs deposited in the nesting box. Watching to see when the hen will go broody.





Found a loner egg in the other pheasant location and placed in the void in the picture above.

This evening while shutting all the doors to the birds, I ducked in to see if there were more eggs. Now there are nine!




Tonight maybe we'll get a glimpse of the Northern Lights! ...

Wonder if anyone in these parts saw them. As for me, I feel asleep. Haven't seen any Facebook or Twitter chatter about.

This evening's nest inspection, another pheasant egg.

Springing into Spring!

Finally, we were able to enjoy a warm Spring day. Took in a local farm estate sale. It was the first day people could think about spending some time extended time outside. Amish and English were in full number to canvas the old homestead of a friend.





After the auction, it was a trip down the Ohio River, before heading home.




The garden was tilled, to get ready for some seed planting! The chickens loved getting into the freshly exposed ground, full of earthworms and other chicken delights. The pastures are starting to dry out. Slowly the muddy mess will go away and the green grass will overcome.

Last weekend I had a hand of hauling round bales. It was fun!







One of the hens with the Golden Pheasant, has started to lay some eggs! It was a surprised to discover these four this morning. They are smaller in size in comparison to the chicken eggs. I'll be watching these closely. Hopefully there will be more eggs laid and then one of the hens will sit.
