Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

This one was taken around 10 pm. You could not see the purple with the naked eye, only with a long exposure with the camera.

Some of the shots I took after 11 were amazing; especially the activity directly overhead. From 11-12 you could visibly see the dancing and the beams stretching all the way across the sky.

Put some swarm traps up last Saturday…… hoping this is the real deal and not robbing, I have 4 traps, two with bees that behave like they have found ‘home’.

FFF to all! Nothing better than a fish fry created at home. Bluegills with ho-made fries, onion rings, slaw, and a ice cream cone for desert.
Waiting to candle the eggs that are set in the bator.
What a great weather day here today! I love nice days outside.

Well went to farm and barn bought 3 pullets. 2 cinnamon queen and a Wyandotte for my broody hen. So far so good,
Had planned on getting other varieties, but just never got around to ordering them.
The chicks at farm and barn been selling fast i guess.
Next week possibly by 4 more.
Chicken math, goto store to buy 2 chickens end up with 4. Bout how it goes.
Like to get couple orpingtons and not sure what else.
Might get some rangers from Sunnyside, but see how the freezer goes.

My brahma mixed with austrolorps are laying quite well. Most of my hens are mixed from hatching last year.

My hen took in the 3 chicks. So far so good.

TOR, free vehicles are always nice. I got a Ford
pickup for free from my brother. drove it for
many years and then sold it for $5oo.oo when
I didn't need it anymore.

Nice snowy Sunday here for the last day of April. Sure, hope May brings normal temps again. The greenhouses all opened yesterday around here. Maybe go tomorrow for my bedding plants and potato sets. One can't wait too long, or you risk the varieties you are after being sold out. Keeping them inside will be a hassle for a while, but it always works out well.

We didn’t have snow up here, but plenty of rain. Snow is still around in small patches. Cloudy and windy in the mid-30’s today.

Tomorrow our chicks arrive!! Brooder is set up and waiting. So excited and nervous at the same time.

Nothing but good wishes for your new chick's badger Farm! It is exciting as Christmas the first time around and the care being given to the new arrivals will be enjoyed by them too. It sounds like you have the careful eyes watching. It becomes a lifestyle if years and years of care for the flocks become something dear to you.
My flocks are spoiled, and we totally enjoy the extra effort we give them with clean nests, (clean eggs) coops, fresh water,(good health) good feed and treats, as well as hours around them.
Have fun with the new ones.
