Spring Ledge Farm has been buying eggs for their winter market on Fridays. Has been very nice of them, and enjoy seeing the eggs sell at retail for a good price. (They still cost less than cage-free eggs from H*n*fords down the street, and on top of that they are two or three days old at the most).

Been playing with horsey. Not last week though. This Monday.

Working on house today.

200 chicks coming in next week.

No garden this year. Wilmot Farmers Market will have chicken, milk, eggs.

Lydia freshenned. Giving 5 gallons of milk a day. One hell of a cow.

Got to remember to order bees.
Happy hens. There is supposed to be a compost pile underneath them. I add 50-100 lbs a day of vegetable scraps, and then hens run out and scratch it apart looking for whatever they want to eat. So the leftover rinds, etc. decay rather quickly because they are turned over.. In the winter they do not decay quickly because it never heats up, but the hens are happy. They get to run around outside, and scratch and peck like a chicken should. There were more hens on the pile, but I decided to make an odd, screech. Anyways, all the hens heads went up, and they went darting inside. You can see part of the field in the background. South sloped, and happily snow free. Oh that is awseome.
