Growing fast!

The fourth set of eggs for the year is in the incubator, as of two days ago. It's really amazing how quickly chickens grow. The first batch of the summer is now 2 months old; the second batch is now 6 weeks and the third batch is now 8 days old. The first 2 batches are outside, and the third batch has moved down to the basement! 

I haven't decided whether the batch in the incubator will be the last for the year or not. It's still hot during the day, but the nights have been dipping into the 50s. We'll see once these have hatched in 3 weeks.

I still haven't gotten the new chicken runs up ... or the rest of the goat shed. It's so hot during the day, that I am exhausted by the time I feed and water everyone ... :/ It's hard being the only caretaker, but it will get done, eventually.

I did not get any pictures of them all today before it got dark. Will have to remedy that tomorrow! :)
