A wet fun week.

     The Lord has blessed us all with a lot of rain the last few weeks.  With all the rain we have had, our place looks completely different.   It is so green and there are puddles,  lakes  and rivers everywhere.  We have also seen some very pretty cloud formations out here.  No the bottom pic is not a tornado. 

      When we moved out here there was a lot of different piles of stuff laying around.  In one area there was old wood fence panels stacked and thrown about.  We are using those that we can and making another enclosed area for the chickens to run in.  While moving panels last week we found an area where the hens had been laying. Plus they love to eat all the bugs!

     We have started another project here.  We are growing a kind of food for the chickens to eat.  They are called Black Soldier Flies.  You build a bin for them to live in and lay their eggs and then when the larva gets big they crawl up and then fall into a bucket.  From there they will be fed to the chickens.  This kind of fly is also suppose to chase away the nuisance flies.The pic below is Brent getting ready to put them in their new home.

     The rabbits nightly weed cuttings has really spoiled the grow outs that live on the floor.  We put it in our wagon and they have learned the sound of it and all meet us at the door now.  A few of them went to camp yesterday along with the one we called psycho.  I think there are 11 left on the floor now that are all girls.  There are 2 Rex grow outs that are in a large pen and one little guy that is going to be the mascot for a while that we call Billy.   Look close in the bottom pic and you will see white ears.

     The chickens are really enjoy their afternoon range time.  They just go everywhere.  As you can see , so do the turkeys. The older ducks and the baby ducks are doing just fine.  The babies have started going out in a little pen with water and having a great time.

Until next week.
