New animals on the farm

We've had some additions to the farm in the past week.
Our order of chicks arrived. We have been looking forward to our Cornish rocks (for quick meat), Aracanas (for colored eggs), Silkie bantams (for cleaning up the front garden), and some additional laying birds for the farm-fresh egg business.
Unfortunately, almost all died en route.
Here are photos of the rocks, most of which made it:
















And here are the handful of survivors of the bantams + the one aracana that made it:

























Another addition this week was the return of the puppy "Roadster", since renamed "Winston." He spent a year in Conneticut. He came home this week. He hasn't been neutered, so we'll do that. He also needs some behavior modification work.

Here's what he looks like--handsome, isn't he!

Entry 1

I've started this blog to share news of Terdal Farm, USA, with family and friends. I plan to post photos of life on the farm, too!
News of the day: Robin, who has been staying with us off-and-on since October is moving around the corner today.
Boki continues to recover from his hit-and-run injury.
More chicks arrive in the coming week, about 75 of them! I'll post photos of them in a week.
Baby goats Solstice (born Dec. 21) and Godiva are growing.
Horses are eating hay and standing in the mud--it rained buckets this morning.
That's all for now.
