It’s been cold and very wet here on the central coast of California. That means for us that everything is turning green and growing and in the case of the Manzanita – blooming! The bees love it. It rained – hard and times – Christmas Day.
The goats go out to browse on grass and oak and manzanita leaves most of the day – unless it is too wet and muddy. The chickens go out in their yard or sometimes wander around the gardens – scratching dirt away to find bugs and making a mess.
We are getting from 3 to 5 eggs each day now. We are sure that 5 of our 6 chickens are laying at least. We just have never witnessed that 6th one – CC is her name – laying. Maybe she’s a rooster? — though not showing any physical signs of it. Maybe just a late bloomer, or waiting for spring!
