Now - I'm about 1/2 way between Spring Lake and Vass with a Cameron address about a 1 mile off of Vass Rd/Hwy 690.

How many are you incubating? What varieties? When is your expected hatch date?

I'm toying with doing a bantam Ameraucana chick order from John Blehm.

Our current barnyard flock has several EE and 1 OE, production reds and 5 barnyard bantam mixes. Then I have 2 blue Ameraucana pullets and 1 blue Ameraucana cockerel. 1 Cuckoo Marans & 3 Cuckoo Marans pullets, 4 buff Wyandotte pullets and 1 Ameraucana/leghorn Roo. Still have 4 barnyard mix roos for the the freezer/table - should have done it sooner.

**********

Was reading thru your blog - do you have your "green house thingies" outside? How did they hold up with the freeze/cold weather? Seedlings do ok or do you have heat out to the "green house thingies"?

Also would like to speak w/ you re: your 22 Jan post - Wyandotte & Red Broiler chicks.

And some gardening ??s...

Looking to do some meat birds this year.

Has anyone in NC ordered meat birds (or any birds) from Cackle Hatchery? They have a lot of mixed reviews on the rest of the forum. Seems they are either hated or loved, but I can't see where folks ordered either the Hungry Man's Special or the Fry Pan Special (both are heavy Heritage breeds - so not ready in 4-6 weeks). Also, if youve done heritage birds - is it worth it (ok?) to do w/ the difference in feed/time to butcher? For us - I think this would work as then could stagger butcher dates while still doing a larger order (less expensive up front cost).

I was personally looking at doing the Fry Pan Special and if anyone is interested in doing a split order - could order 100 at one time. I have a couple of other folks wanting some, both as chicks and after processed, but if we ordered 100 (to start) could definitely split the order.

What say folks in the Vass, S Pines, Fayetteville, Spring Lake & Sanford areas?
 
This RAIN needs to go. The pens are getting wet now, can't run my landscaping business like I need to, need to be moving greenhouses to the new farm, plus all of the nursery stock. I have bushes and grape vines that need potting up, blueberry plants to pot up. Fruit trees coming in soon, plus a house to finish and a house to prep for sale.

Also need to build pens on the farm, move the chickens and bee hives.

So glad In have nothing to do....

Plus a buddy set 17 eggs for me as a test in his new incubator...

Still I wonder, still I wonder...who'll stop the rain ( for folks my age)

Oh, sick twin 4yr old boys at home too
