So, things are starting to pick up again around the farm. the meat chickens and french guinea fowl have been ordered and will arrive May 5th. The pigs (2, possibly 4) are ordered and will be ready for pickup at the end of the month/beginning of next month. The rabbits are happily housed in their new living quarters in the barn. And the laying chickens have a new pasture to explore now that the ground has finally unfrozen enough to get the fence posts pushed in again.
In general, things are moving and shaking!
Some upcoming projects include:
-getting the ground ready and the peas, carrots, radishes and leafy greens planted
-starting warmer loving plants indoors
-getting the grounds machinery up and running
-washing and vaseline-ing the chickens legs to protect from leg mites
-building the chicken tractor(s) for the meat chickens
-setting up the electric fence for the piggies
We are busy, busy beavers over here. But, it's nice to finally be able to do some solid work. I feel very accomplished. That's always a good feeling!
