Hope everyone is enjoying this gorgeous weather today! It's supposed to be even warmer tomorrow here in Lincolnton...I think I read 78 degrees. We've been crazy busy at our place. We put up 3700 feet of electric fencing over the weekend. Prepping to bring our first dairy goat to the farm. She's...
Hope everyone is enjoying this wonderful warm day. My hubby and I are at work so I'm sure my birds are TICKED and ready for us to get home so they can get out of the run for a bit. Our 3 newest chicks are at the 5 1/2 week mark. Crossing my fingers that all are pullets. They are feathering out...

My kids are busting to open gifts and a wee bit stir crazy too. I've threatened to call...
Had a great time checking out the birds at Chickenstock today with my DD. She wanted to take everything home! Bought two Blue EE hens and a Mille Fleur D'Uccle. Also landed a tshirt, meal worms, some Caramel Bourbon Apple Butter and a CHICKS car decal.
Our family finished up the molasses...
You aren't kidding! My run is a wet mess and I SOOOOOO hope it dries out today. Our 8 goofy girls were soaking wet instead of staying inside their nice little house in the dry. Lookin' rough!!!
On a side note....Our one silkie (the one in my pic) was soaked. Quite a sight for me to see for the...
If anyone is near Lincolnton this weekend and want something fun to do in this nice weather.....come to the Lincoln County Apple Festival. It's like a county fair without the rides...complete with all the fattening food you could ever hope to eat. Fresh orchard apples from our local growers...
