Congratulations kdogg.

Thanks! I almost don’t want to eat it... maybe save it as a souvenir.

i just need detailed maps to study

You could certainly figure out a route on Google maps ahead of time. Print out the detailed parts for getting off the main route, set the route in the GPS. Has to be better than going through all the big cities.

husband made me three, altho we have 3 acres in pasture(have 5 acres) if i let the chickens free range i would not have chickens long, our pasture butts up again some woods and i know we have foxes, coons, hawks and owls, not sure but maybe coyotes are coming in too,forgot possums , we have them all lol, son also has a dog that wants to kill, shes gone after husbands pigs once so if she gets free, i know she would kill them and i would hate to shoot her but i would or husband would so i really like my tractors

Ya my layers are penned up most of the day . Here are some pictures.

Here they are eating some feed.

I let two out to forage . They are locked up every night. Make sure nothing eats them.

these are some of the game fowl hens. They are a vary small fast alert breed. These are also the ones that sleep in the fur trees.

this is the whole flock I didn't have time to get a good photo but they are eating scratch grains . I feed them during the winter and they forage during the summer. They aren't under weight for the breed and have good coloring. These guys can easily fly 200yards across the field .

Here is one of the fields I use. It's a little grown up right now. But comes spring it will all be mowed and tilled.

some land I have been clearing you can see what I would like to buy and clear behind.

The brush piles will be burned this spring as well.

Ya I agree if the odds aren't in favor then there's nothing you can do. I keep my layers penned up to.

Got a HUGE egg today. It barely fit even in the XL carton those are her normal size eggs next to this one kept fluctuating between 78 and 79 grams but either way, HUGE!! Her normal are only like low to mid 50s. I weighed her others. Lowest 51, highest 56. So this is way bigger than usual and bigger than any egg I’ve ever seen. Poor girl.

That's what I do whatever I go on a long journey. My old printer just isn't in color so it doesn't look the same.

Good afternoon Chat Folks - hope that all are having a good day.

Hope so to good night all I might be on later but most likely I will be sleeping.
