Snow, Fermenting , Eggs , "Been Farming Long ?"

     We have been having some wonderful weather here and the trees and some of the bushes are even starting to get green. I have daffodil's blooming and you would just think that it is the end of March or April and not the end of February.




     To make sure sure we knew it Ole man winter came for a very short visit just to make sure we don't go planting our gardens yet.






     After seeing what we had been paying on poultry feed. We had to come up with a plan.  We switched them back to Layer Pellets. I put it in a 5 gal bucket and I’ve been fermenting the chicken feed with water and Apple Cider Vinegar .  They all love it.  I have to close the barn door to be able to open the bucket up.  They will jump in it and make a huge mess.  They will also get some bread in the morning and in the evenings.









     We wished and wished the girls would start laying. They started laying and now we have about 15 dozen chicken eggs and 3 dozen duck eggs. So if y'all are needing any eggs, just message or call us.






     Our oldest son and his family came out and this past week end and our oldest grandson loves animals.  We took him out to see the chickens and he walked around looking at them going Balk, balk balk.  That is his chicken talk.   He liked the ducks, Betsey and Fred really liked him.  Fred would not stop licking him.

"Been Farming Long?"





     Brent has so much fun playing with Fred.  He gets down on the ground and they wrestle and just have fun.  Fred just eats it all up and just jumps and runs all around Brent. If the poultry are around they just go crazy and make all kinds or noise. 





Betsey has been good.






Until next week,

    Looks like the fowl are enjoying their fermented food.
