New Queen Marked in Green

We have a new Queen marked in Green!!

I was able to mark the new Queen yesterday. She now has a nice Green with White background mark you can easily see in the video feed. I did not see any eggs so she is not laying yet but I do think she is fertile. She doesn't look full size but she looks larger than a newborn Queen.
She has access to the lower part of the hive and to the outside world so she may not be visible all the time.

I said yesterday that I thought they had started sitting on the eggs but that doesn't appear to be correct. I have seen hours of empty nest since then. It seems like last summer they had babies sooner than this. I am unsure if we have a problem or if this is just a "watched pot never boils" kind of thing. Who knows, maybe it's just that they are shy and don't want to have sex on camera. Next year I will try to get a view down into the nest so we can see the eggs.

BABY CHICKS!!

One of our hens just popped out of the the woodwork with 5 baby chicks in tow. We expected this but had no idea who or how many. I'm assuming that we will have a few more pop up soon.

The ChickenRun is what used to be our front yard before the birds decided to do something else with it.

I'm not sure if I like it yet but I'm outnumbered so I have to live with it, for now,.. until I get the grill going... :-)

Lay-Z-Goats is the bottom outside corner of our goat pasture.

The Goats like to lay in the sun, scratch the dirt, jump on the blocks. It has a nice view to the south, down to our garden area. Which, if the fence is not ON, or it's down, the goats like much more than we do.
