We're still spending more money on poultry feed than dog food .... but it's getting closer. We're definitely spending more than $1K a month on critter food now, but some is wasted on the rodent explosion in the barn. Darn cats are too fat & lazy to do their job. I guess I need to put the repeating mouse traps out in the barn & start feeding the mice to the chickens for extra protein.
For sale birds are lots of tom turkeys, lots of juvenile chickens (mostly cuckoo marans and turken) and silkies, and .... I don't remember. I just know we have a ton of birds & chicks.
Gerald talked me into buying another sportsman incubator. Man, that is fancy .... digital stuff. Too complicated for me. Well, not really, just not enough time to program it. It flashes the inside incubator temp, humidity, outside temp and how many times the turner has turned. Cool! Now I just need time to put eggs in.
The egg man is obsessing over his plasticulture garden. The fella came out & laid the plastic & drip line, now we're waiting on the other fella to come & hook up the line to our water supply. We could probably do that ourselves .... maybe? So, the new Komondor puppy (I assume since I didn't see it) decided to put some holes in the plastic. I think she was just trying to help
This morning we went & bought t-posts and cattle panels to go around the garden & last I spoke to Gerald tonight, he was out in the dark, in the pouring rain, putting the fence up. I guess I should call & check on him. He just might have passed out from exhaustion and fell in a big mud puddle.
Oh, and Gerald is
so excited about some chicken eggs he's been collecting ..... the olive eggers are beginning to lay!!!!!! Army green eggs! The same colors as his big ol' army truck.
I'm so excited now! I just got the word .... They don't need me to work overtime tomorrow night
