Things are a poppin' at the farm. We got a bit or rain and the grass sure appreciates it. The morning began foggy but this afternoon is glorious.
This photo is the twins that we had to help birth last week. I feel a special connection to them. One is a girl so she will stay with us for future breeding. The darker one is a boy. He will be raised for meat. Some people ask if it bothers me to eat the animals we raise. That is a difficult question. I love playing with them, but understand that their purpose is to nourish our bodies.
We are planting hot and heavy right now. We have lots of vegetables of every type going into the ground. I can't wait! Now I need to get busy selling them.
We put our month old chicks in the hen house. They stay pretty close to their crates but don't seem to be bothered by the big hens. We have been getting 3-5 turkey eggs each day along with 5-7 dozen chicken eggs. Our customers seem to love the turkey eggs as they are sold as soon as I put them in the eggstand. The newest chicks are being well taken care of in the brooder pens. They will be ready to go out in another 3 weeks or so.
Our pigs have a new luxury mansion that they are moving into. I'll send you pictures on our next visit.
Pray for rain.
