Spring Time Is The Busy Time!

  When the weather gets warmer, and the days longer , the work really starts!  Ever since the first week of March it has been non stop here, we built a working pen for the cows and goats, started the big garden, got a new batch of layer hens started, the list goes on and on.  Well lets get started then shall we?

New Layers 

 Trying something new this year, we usually order replacement layers from Ideal Hatchery since they are pretty close, but this year they had a long back order, so we got a few from the local Tractor Supply store, so far they are looking good.

 They have all feathered out and we only lost one, and it drowned in the waterer within 10 minutes of going in the brooder, so overall I'm happy with em, I wasn't really sure they would make it.

Speaking of layers, Spring has brought the eggs back, I can't tell ya how bad I hated buying eggs over the winter, but they are paying off in spades now!

Other News
 
The Piglet watch is on, the big sow is looking very pregnant, so we are keepin a close eye out on the pig pen.

The Garden!

 We went bigger this year what with the new tractor and tiller , so we opened up a few bigger garden plots.
And with the help of an Earthway Garden Seeder, we have already put in sweet corn, purple hull peas, okra, yellow and zucchini squash and I'm still working on the tomatoes and peppers , can you see why we've been busy?  If you wanna keep up with the Gardening check out my other site Home-Grown-Vegetables.com.
