Yeh, talk about the garden. I've got to get in mine today and do some heavy weeding! That darned nut sedge sprouts up over night, and I haven't been in there for 2 days to weed. Going to lay some plastic down and cover it with straw, that is if my neighbor comes through with the straw like he said...  My FREE potatoes are coming up!!!

awesome! I'm glad your potatoes are doing so well! I'm gonna be putting down weed barrier cloth and mulching all the walkways, as I get things done haha. Just a strange year me thinks for the garden with the weather being all wackadoodle. 

 

Sounds good on thinning down the silkies for more room. I just can't wait to see how things will be in a couple of months for the birds here. Should be a whole different story.

No worries right now Donna I can in no way afford them.

However I do have 5 Birchen because of all of your pictures Gilavina!

I also have a batch of Whites in the hatcher right now that I am trying not to get to excited about. I just have not had a lot of luck with these White hatches. If they do not do well I will be getting some from Dick Dickerson. He emailed me to let me know he had some for me.

haha....perhaps one day, when I'm happy with how they look enough to feel like they are sell-able. Then I'll also be looking into NPIP and etc too so I can start shipping. 

Did you see the girls I'm growing out now that are black birchens? They look better everyday, but still all of my birchens are in progress. I think I already have you on my waiting list yes? I'd have to go look for sure, but its getting long.

Yah and Vicki when those girls start laying you are going to have waaaaaaaaaay too many eggs on your hands and for your 'bators so feel free to send the extra's this way and I will be more than happy to incubate them for you. *insert big cheesy grin here*
