Done!

Just placed my order for Sunnyside...... no meat birds until September.

Luckily we got our meat bird order in early.

That should work out perfect bl4. Hope you placed a order and can butcher in October. That would be perfection at it's best. No to hurry.

Stay Safe...bigz

yep, We always liked butchering after fly season is over. and it is easier to cool the meat off if the temps are not in the 70F's or above.
How many are you going to get ?
I didn't work on the green house today. DD brought her 3'' drill bit and we prepared 11 buckets for wicking waterers. going to put the Romas in them,
I have to go get a 1 1/8'' hole saw .
I am going to fix at least one bucket up for peas.
today I scrounged up a few steel T-posts.
Not looking forward to using the pounder to drive them in, though..

I placed an order with Sunnyside....... then started calling around to see if anyone else had birds....... lo and behold Tyler did!

Purely Poultry has a chick supplier able to ship right now! So order number 2 will arrive the week of June 30th, order number 1 will ship September 16. 30 birds each time.

Right now the chickshaw is being used to break the broody hens...... it will be nice to evict them soon, as I have been battling these biddies for weeks.

My hatch of layers has started….5 out so far and more pips waiting to zip. Need to set the brooder lights up yet and get the temp up to par.

Stay Safe....bigz

Now that I am almost settled into tent life. Here is a thought I am pondering. We have ALOT of floor board type stuff. Do you think this would work for my 5 chicks if we put insulation between the boards? I do still have igloo but that would only work for the hen plus maybe one but when I do let her out she tries to terrorize babies but when they get together Pixie may have a surprise from them

this is what I have been doing for the past two days:
making self watering (wicking) bucket planters for my ten Roma tomatoes.
They have to sit level, so I moved them onto the level deck of the green house:

Recycled the old barbecue cart into an outdoor table. The wood is poplar.
