cheese, jam, and chicks

I made my fist batch of goat cheese and it is tasty.  Light and fluffy and delectable.  Mixed will mulberries it is amazing.
 Then I took the 8 cups of mulberries I picked with Rob and made them into jelly.

 I put that on a bagel with my goat cheese and it was great.

Babysat my Sister-in-law's puppy and caught puppy fever.  Hopefully will have some more news about that in the coming weeks.
His name was Jake.  I added, from State Farm.  And when asked what he was wearing, "Nothing."
 The chicks hatched under my broody hen!!  Super excited that 6 out of the ten eggs made it to hatching.  All the chicks look healthy and mama seems to be doing great with them.  Very protective, which made getting pictures difficult.  4 look like my golden laced wyandotte rooster and two will probably be like the white hens, rhode island whites.

 I had to move them into an old rabbit cage cause I was afraid the chicks would slip out of the dog cage and be attacked.  So for now they are in the garage with mama.  I hope to move the turkeys outside soon and put my three pullets with the older hens finally and get mama and her 6 chicks in the brooder.  Basically musical chicken housing.
