Hi Carolyn! Busy busy, always seem to be playing catch up with the farm, and we only have 12 acres. A get together could/would be cool, always depends on when it is, although I am more than happy to make an all out effort to attend. We offer pea shoots in our salad shares for our CSA yes. They...
Evening Peeps! Long time no see. Busy Busy here at the farm, as always. The girls are starting back in to their laying cycles now that the daylight is returning (thank goodness). Hope to be around more, sorry I have been away so long.

We have 21 chickens. 10 of which are not old...
Our cats stay clear of our girls, we have no roo's here, but the cats know to keep there distance. We have another dozen 10 week old girls out there too and the cats show no interest at all. The dog has learned too, she does not like getting pecked on the schnizzle.
Now every situation is...
0430 I went out, the girls I added in last night, were out and about in the run, peckin and generally just being early morning chickens, the older wiser girls were still in bed on the roost, ya know, it's raining, we're not going out there. I took out some scratch, some rolled oats, some bread...
