Sooner or Later…

Pickin’ chickins bock bock bock…Pickin’ chickins…bock bockity bock…

Guess what we did today?

The crew consists of 3 Black Sex Link, 3 Red Sex Link, Ameraucana and 3 Barred Rocks.*  Each of my 4H crew can choose a group to call their own.  Come fair time if they are all similar they can show as a group of 3 and if not, then show just the best. (That’s my public rational anyway) Each are very good to excellent layers and are dual purpose (lay or fry chickie bwahhahaha!)

The turkins are selling nearly as fast as they arrive.  Fortunately we have practice every night this week so it will not be a bother to check in for new arrivals.  That will be about our limit–at least until I do some more measuring & calculating.

One thing I need to note for next time.  The chicks were fed from red feeders at the store (mostly). Mine are metal so we had to cover the bedding with newspaper to keep them from trying to eat it.  Hopefully they will adapt quickly to the metal.

On the bread front–two down, two more to eat while the rolls didn’t make it through the night.  Robert baked a 9×9 pan of brownies for his our late snack.  Not bad either.  Last time he miss read the box directions and added 1 1/2 cups of oil.  It was very rubbery/weird texture but still tasted good. (hate to admit that but there you have it, we ate them all)

*I hate to think of what that just did to my rating at the “rate your site” test.
