Job done! Thanks Jonathan!! He went above and beyond!

We have done a thing…trenching from the well and electrical sources to the barn and coops.. 1. This will make mowing easier.. no pulling hoses that we used to get water to the barn or coops and no over head electrical wires draped thru the trees! 2. And in the winter, no more hauling water down to the barn or coops in the ice and snow. Hydrants have been installed near the barn and coops. 3. The trenching to the coops will eliminate the trip hazard of all the tree roots. Yeah!

Storing Fresh Eggs in Limewater (Keeps 12+ Months)

Storing Fresh Eggs in Limewater (Keeps 12+ Months)

The practice of storing eggs in lime water goes back centuries, and it's still one of the best ways to preserve eggs without refrigeration. Anyone whose kept chickens knows that egg production doesn't always line

So, posted this on my personal page. Dave caught the snake and a rat in traps in the barn. The rat was taken pretty quick. It took a couple of days for something to eat the snake. Dave thinks a raccoon picked the flesh clean.
We joke that we are leaving offerings to the Owl god, as we have a Great horned owl on our property.

They are ready to harvest.. planning on Friday!

Cornish rocks’ new home. This chicken tractor will be moved each day onto fresh pasture.

What a difference a day makes!

Crazy weather!
The alpacas are in the barn.. they got sheared yesterday, so no warm coats! Dave restyled their stall this morning to give them more room.

04/14/2022

The Cornish rocks are getting big.. they are almost full feathered out.. probably will have them in the chicken tractor on the pasture by the end of April!

The Cornish Rocks have arrived! 30 of them!
The post office called this morning for us to pick them up.. once there were in there new homes, they got a drink, some for some feed and all huddled under the heat lamps. They are in two tubs, with 15 birds in each!

Spring on the farm

03/25/2021

Up date! The tomatoes we moved to buckets are doing real well!, added lettuce and a regular tomato (not Cherry) in the black and yellow tub.

03/08/2021

Dave tweaked the nutrient solution and added air stones to the buckets.. wow, what a difference !! The left 4 buckets are tomatoes from my first planting of The aero gardens. Boy, are they producing. The buckets are from the latest transplant from the AeroGarden into the buckets. They will green up and bush out like the ones to the left.

03/08/2021

Made some chicken saddles for one of the hens.. her back was devoid of feathers.

07/17/2020

We sell fresh eggs and Cornish Rock chicken.. eggs $4.00 dozen.. chicken $2.00 a pound...7-8 pound whole chickens. So, for the 7 pound it’s $14.00.. $16.00 for the 8 pound. Chickens are humanly grown and harvested.

06/27/2020
