I did my first full hive inspection of the year today and things are looking promising! Both of the hives that I went into the winter with made it, I found both queens (marked yellow) and both have started laying in preparation for the daffodils. They are bringing in pollen from the early blooming trees on the sunny and warm days. One hive is much larger than the other so in the next week or two I'll take a frame of brood from the stronger hive and give it to the weaker hive. This helps strengthen the weaker hive and reduces the chances of the stronger hive from swarming.

These are our Large Black Hogs exactly one month ago today when we had some snow on the ground. They are a very unique looking breed of pigs that are all black and their eyes are covered by their large droopy ears. They are heritage breed and do very well growing outside in natural conditions where I sometimes see them chasing each other around their house. It is remarkable how much these pigs eat and I'm very thankful that there is a local feed producer (Chris Farms) not too far from here in Scotland CT where we get all of their feed.

There’s always excitement on the farm when we put our first batch of hatching eggs in the incubator for the year. These are coturnix quail eggs from the James Marie Farm line that have been selectively bred to lay nice sized quail eggs from fast growing quail. Anybody interested in reserving some quail chicks from this hatch is welcome to do so on our website at www.sunnypatchfarm.com

I’m putting our first coturnix quail eggs in the incubator this morning and crossing my fingers that we have a successful hatch. The blue tray is used in the incubator to keep the eggs held in an upright position, the incubator also has a rocker in it. This simulates the movement of a mother bird who would move the eggs throughout the course of a day. You can see that the eggs are too big to put right next to each other. That is because we sought out quail that were selectively bred to lay large quail eggs (about 1/3 the size of chicken eggs).
