Dixie Chicks

[Amberjem]

DH mowed the yard and weedeated (there is a ton of weedeating on 14 acres) 95% of the yard. Still have some out back and next week will be spraying fence rows so we don't have to weedeat those again. Sitting here burning some old wood in a Harrell and getting ready to finish feeding. Moved all the chick's around and I have an empty brood again. It will be filled tomorrow with 45+ chicks.

Picked up 2 flower racks from TSC junk pile that are going to be turned into brooders. Figure they'll each make a 4 tier baby brooders for the young ones.

nice find!

Well broody is officially broody. Had her lid off for some cleaning today and she staid put even when I pushed her over for cleaning right under her.

18 days left on the incubator eggs.I figure 25 or so for broody eggs

I bought an apple tree the other day... No one will pay me to plant it though
A lime tree for in doors or out?

Our apple tree is blooming like crazy. Needed a serious pruning job this winter and it didn't happen. It has 2 to 3 minimum dead branches (weren't dead last year) still attached and needs a lot of cleaning up. Have to wait till next year now. Going to Spray it this year before the busgs get to it.
