Easter Hens and Sheep
June and her daughter Noa came to visit. They raise Silkies - a kind of bantam - and wanted to see our coops and, since the Jacksons have Silkies, hoped to get one from them. As usual our very elderly silver crested polish hens are the most popular. The two crested polish are all that is left from our very first batch of chicks.
The Jacksons had a Silky they could give away, and some fertile eggs that June will stick under her broody hen. The goats, llamas and sheep were all admired, and the sheep got a snack of apples and pears.
Tom goes back to Boston Wednesday and Thursday for the next infusion. He is continuing to have few side effects from the treatment, and those are mild (a little tired and a little stomach upset) but is feeling fine.
