Hubby just asked me when I would be done incubating? How do I tell him I have an addiction?

It helps when all the pens are full.... all the brooders are full.... and there are still eggs in the incubator- I have started spacing my sets further apart and being more selective with what I set. I have a feeling we will have a BIG batch of birds to take to auction next month..... but at our house HUBBY is my enabler! Yikes we are in trouble!

Fun picture from last week- one of our hives swarmed into our fig plants, yes his friends call him the Bee Whisperer. Except if you know anything about bees you know he was in very little danger of being stung because they are in "swarm" mode! Easiest swarm we ever caught, the branch was so heavy with bees it drooped to the ground, so we placed the nuc box next to it with some built comb and they marched right in and made themselves at home!

yep, that and some wonder dust, we will see what happens. the neighbor is getting rid of those 2 mutt dogs, im really thinking they got ambushed and pulled over the fence and threw the barbwire. bc i looked and looked, i really dont see how they could get ovet by there self. they will stand up and put there heads over the fence and threw the barbwire to eat the tall grass next door. but the wire is strung tight and close together, so theres no way they could jump over.

I made the most stupid misake with my geen house because our carrots never grew the past 5 years I just sprinkled the packages of seeds lightly through the green house. Ten days later we have the green house coverd . I thout some would die off but they are thriving and even befor I did that carrots were already coming up from last year because none of them sprouted . Now when I go in to the green house I only see green no ground.
