Sunny and nice. Supposed to be another beautiful day. Sitting here drinking a little coffee and looking at cortnix quail. Thinking about getting 600-800 eggs to go in a cabinet.

Send some of the sunny and warm here, please.
Setting quail eggs or chicken? That many quail would be fun.

Quail. I just started a bunch of chicken eggs on Saturday.

I don’t think this nice weather is gonna hang around but I’ll take it when I can get it.

Nice. The most quail I've done is 80.
We went from 50 to ground covered in snow overnight. I need for the ground to freeze so I can get the tractor out and clean the goat barn. It's been so muddy I haven't wanted to rut things up with the tractor.

Time to get t work. Have a great day.

Because yesterday was supposed to be so nice, I wasn’t expecting the ice. I went out with my coffee to take a picture of the sun rise, and think about what I could build. I really want to get a prefab coop fixed up for new chicks to be in after a few weeks, complete with a heat lamp.
I went down, and had to wiggle to the grass to get back up. So much for getting work done! I am a mess!

I hear that. The warm up and wind was a welcome sight for us to help dry us out. We have been so muddy all fall. Fighting the mid is very tiring and we are trying not to rut up too much but that is virtually impossible for us. I tend to run the same ruts over and over until I can’t anymore. We bought a new ditch witch stand up skid loader with tracks (Dingo) this summer. Weighs a hell of a lot less than our big skid loader and is small, perfect for cleaning buildings and light work.
