New Life

We've got 37 new lady friends on the farm! 
By now they're actually 3 weeks old, so they've moved beyond this cute stage to the almost-awkward stage.
For their first few weeks they lived in our mudroom. They probably would have survived in the garage, but it was cold and we felt sorry for them. But now they've been moved to their own section of the chicken barn. The mudroom was getting dusty and smelly and it was clear that our house wasn't the right place for our new friends.
We've been planning out our new garden space and now it's just about time to plant potatoes!
The boys were happy to help with the tiller!
We were happy to see the lovely, mellow dirt that we turned up. Hopefully the potatoes like it too.
We didn't till the entire thing, just the section of our garden where potatoes and onions will go.

That leaves more tilling to do another day!
