Today, after two weeks the roof of the chicken shed is now complete!  Also we have 3 darling cats that were born last week and found in the hen lay box still around, we had a hawk swoop down at the flock on Wednesday and on Tuesday night we lost a chick that got  laid on by a goat. We also finished the construction of the bean trellis and have most of the plants in the garden planted.... Still have lots growing in the classroom as well.

Random Photos: Cat Update...Mom and 3 babies doing fine. Momma cat very nice.


9 baby chicks were doing ok. We lost one chicken the night of 3/12. It appears it was crushed by the goats while sleeping. The goats have no physical awareness, they step on the chickens and apparently will sleep on them too.

On Wednesday 3-13 we experienced a hawk attack. During 4th other 5th period a hawk swooped down at the chicken flock. It did not get any of the chickens, but boy did it excite the chickens. They all ran into the chicken coop and continued to chatter.

Two of our babies that were purchased and or born on 1/24/19.
