Missed ya uncle Pen!!

Thanks I've been getting many honey do's done around here. Important stuff.
Really pleased with eggs laying now that spring has kick in. My not so pretty project birds are 100% on eggs for the last three days. Nice to have a little cash flow to help pay for the feed


We are getting a storm coming in wind is really strong. Glad I don't have an incubator going tonight. Slider glass door is flexing.

Did ya get the milker fixed?
