New Chicks

Rudy the Rooster is a Daddy, 23 chicks hatch Sunday and I brought them home Monday. They are in the basement for a while under a heat lamp. They are doing great, the Kids think they are great also.

We had heavy snow this weekend and slowed things down a bit. The driveway drifted really bad and had to get a tractor and plow it out. About 6-8 inch fell over night. I was thinking that spring was here but I was wrong again. Really muddy out side not much you can but look out the window and think spring.

Fertitize Eggs going to incubator.

We will be taking about 35 eggs to friends place. He has a large incubator
that he hatches chicks for sale around the local area. The kids and I are looking to expand our chicken operation. We now about 17 laying hens
and can't keep up with egg orders.
