Going to set more chicken eggs this weekend. So why am I posting here, instead of on my "Culling Project" page???? Because I'm also going to throw some turkey eggs in the incubator, do a split hatch like when I do chicks and ducks at the same time.
No idea if the turkey egg is fertile, our...
My acres of weeds are getting tall too - taller than the chickens, the ducks, and as tall as the shortest goats. As soons as they grasses drop more seeds, I'm taking the flail mower to it, knocking it down to 6" or so. Its 15-18" right now, 20" in places.
Goats ate my attempts to sprout 50#...
I do, next to my scallions. Haven't done much gardening of late, we've had inches and inches and inches of water from the sky. If things aren't rotted, and not eaten by the hornworms (all my tomatoes), they are being overgrown by weeds so tall I can't even see the asparagus plantings!

Got another row of CMUs up for the greenhouse, sawhorses were out while I assembled the picnic table and made some adjustments to the bunny hutch. Mostly cleaning up and rearranging.
Have someone coming in to erect a pole barn over the RV. Our temporary sail cloths worked - but are only good...
Not so far.
I tried a couple, just to make sure they are good, you understand...
Seemed fresh still, so I reset the traps.
Next maybe I'll try toasted?
Actually, one of the turkeys has bumblefoot it's being treated none of the turkey eggs that have been set for the last month successfully hatched and the incubator because it stopped turning ruined the last batch of chickens I was trying to hatch oh and it looks like we have a trash panda...
it sort of feels like "responsibility". Which is why I wasn't on BYC except for brief moments in the first place. Too busy mending fences, fixing broken things, and shopping for parts...
