Okay - for those of you who know the tapping tree stuff - isn't it about right to do it now? temps are supposed to be over freezing during day - but down to 20 and below at night in my area? wondering.

Wow Ivywoods, that is quite a find - I'm envious. I'm limited to 12 due to city restrictions so wouldn't have been able to do this anyway - lucky you!

Place a test Tap in your selected tree, and put a small stick or something of a smaller size then the hole. If it starts to drip pull the stick and place your spigot. My walnut is barley flowing, but it will be a few more weeks.

Congratulations on your new additions and what a great deal! Don't know much about leghorns, but our Rhode Island Reds are a hoot. Very inquisitive and prone to following you around like a dog. Hope you have a market for the eggs!

.............And as of tonight we have more new additions at Ivywoods.

One of our nubian does had her first batch of kids tonight. She had triplets.

We have them inside where we can get them warm and dry. They are SOOOOO cute! It's still too cold and they are not ready to go back out yet, so it looks like it will be a sleepless night tonight.

Congrats on the new additions. Wow big increase in just a few days. Do you ever harvest milk? I have made cheese a few times and would like to again. Goat cheese might be cool to try!

Yesterday I got my first egg. It is from my blue or splash Ameraucana.

Congrats! What age are your birds?

I'm looking forward to mine starting in about 5 more weeks I think.
