Our pullets!
The beginning of March I picked up 6 new chicks for expanding our chicken flock. I bought 2 Cream Legbars, 2 Red Stars and 2 Black Stars. Below is what they now look like at 4 weeks of age.
Cream Legbar, note the crest.
Red Star
Black Star, note the legs are blackish.
Cream Legbar, these are supposed to lay blue green eggs.

Park's primroses this weekend!
Folks,
Camellia Forest Nursery in Chapel Hill, NC is having open house this weekend. I read about it last night on one of their Facebook posts. They mentioned a sale on Clifford Parks heat tolerant primroses. I've purchased these in the past and they do survive our hot dry summers. Camellia Forest will be open Sunday afternoon if you would want to get some of these beautiful plants.
So I somehow ended up there to get some primroses and 2 camellias. I feel lucky to have these locally grown primroses available in our area. These are all crosses, each different than the other. I have one primrose in our garden that is about 15 years old, so they can live a long time.
The camera did not capture the dark burgundy color on this primrose. Wow!
Oh and I loaded the camera with images of a lot of the camellias in bloom at the nursery. Maybe a post on them soon.
