Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"


Here is the one of the Amish poultry barns. See the nest boxes on the walls. They are sloping forward and the eggs roll down into the covered conveyor belt.

Here is their waterer.



Here are eggs from the chickens in the above photo.

These eggs are brought in from one of there other farms. Notice there are no white eggs. I saw the farm next to this farm had a huge fenced in area for free ranging. I don't think there was any grass but they were outside. All in all I was pretty impressed. Although I was behind a glass window so I have no idea if it smelt or not or if so how bad.

Yep, I'd go back next year for another tour. I'd like to ask him what they wash the eggs with and what they are feeding them( the hens not eggs). It says on the egg carton that they are organic.
So that's it for tonight folks.

Now what I'd like to know is why if I posted all of these pictures is that dang skull tank decoration that Bl4 still starring me down on the right side of the screen. Shouldn't new pictures have replaced that by now..... No offence Bl4 but he's scary !!! LOL
 
Hi All!

vicki... glad the chooks are doing better! *Broasted chicken, fried chicken, Kong Pao chicken, flauta?

Zeek,... You probably aren't going to see this, but thanks for checking in!

FT.... sounds like you had a fun day! Liked that daughter post. Queen is beautiful!

Well, The coop is clean, just got to do some closing off spaces and a few minor things.

I moved that hen w/chick to a broody cage and she too it to food so it should be OK now. I think she was just afraid to move it before with all te other chickens around.

Night All!
 
Beautiful!!!! I would take her in a heartbeat!

Why are you up so late French? DH is cutting wood in my ear keeping me up.

Whats wrong with my fish tank skull???? ;)

Neat pics of the Amish school and egg farm. You do not see chalkboards in schools much anymore, they have been replaced with whiteboards and smartboards.

Back to sleep for me.......

Nothing, just giving you sh!t !! lol I just noticed that when I posted all of those pictures that none of the ones on the side of the screen changed that's all.

I"m up cause Dear ET never came to bed. He falls sleep in the chair in the living room. So one hour kinda slipped into another and at 3am I figured I may as well stay up cause I'd have to go wake him up at 4:30am when my cel phone alarm went off. He is a bear if you try to wake him up so I just let him be tonight. Actually I have been on a WI horse Exchange Facebook page on and off. So been busy.
I'm ready to give in to the night now and hit the hay now that ET is up. I don't know why I do this. I have to go do laundry today too. Gonna be a long day !!
Night... for the third time.... bet Cind is even sleeping now !!!
 
Yes please, would love to see.little.Hershey and your Dominiques!

Reminds me. .Now that it looks like my Aussies are going to make it, I guess I need to come up with some names. I'm having a bit of trouble this time. I think I will call the little one (lemon) Pepper but I am at a loss for the bigger one.
Any suggestions? Remember my other ladies are Noodle, Soup, Nugget, Dumpling and Gravy. I just can't come up with another good "chicken food" name that fits (hopefully) a black hen.

I think "Salad"

Frenchy, that was a beautiful story! Makes me think of teri's daughter Taylor. The way she looks up in those horses! That is how I want syd to feel. I wish Blake was into the horses too. Still have not found his "thing". He just turned 4. There is time.
We will have to wait a year or two before I can afford a horse for syd. I am in the hole a bit from getting the property. I am hoping next years taxes pay me up on some debt, and I can save for horse itwms. Don't want to get in over my head!!

Bigz, I am getting very excited for the weekend! Got a sitter for friday night and plan to come nack Saturday with the kiddos :)
