Well, Marvin's hay crop has turned out MUCH better than we expected! He has been baling hay for the past 3 days. So far, he has 602 bales and still has 13.75 acres left to bale.
We have chicks, chicks, chicks. The barn is full of them and they are cute, cute, cute.
We had a nice fellow and his young son visit today. They were asking about eggs and I was explaining to them that the eggs they buy in the market could easily be up to 2 months old. Additionally, the chickens from commercial producers are often kept in small cages and fed a commercial feed that may include hormones and antibiotics. Our chickens are free range and are allowed to roam in the open fields during the day, eating grasses and bugs as well as feed that does not include hormones or antibiotics. These chickens are inherently healthier. Our eggs are much more flavorful and much better for you. You can actually tell by looking at a the yolk. The yolks "stand up" high and are a very dark orange in color. Once someone tastes our fresh eggs, it's very difficult to eat eggs from a grocery store.
I hope you have a very nice Memorial Day. Please keep in mind what the holiday really is for - to honor those that fight for our freedom so we can enjoy this beautiful country.
