Our first sign!

Well, I think I can say it's official: we are a real farm!  I've decided to make this a regular thing on the weekends that we will have our eggs out for sale.  I plan to add the words "Saturday and Sunday" to the sign just so I can leave the sign out during the week, but I need to put some sort of weather protection on it since I made it from random material I found in the workshop!  We did get to meet a nice couple from the neighborhood across the street, and I'm hoping they not only become regulars, but get some word-of-mouth sales going for us as well.  I would love to, one day, maximize the efficiency of this farm to the point where I supply all families that desire Actually Natural food in that neighborhood!  I want to be a household name over there.  It only makes perfect sense to me!  And of course, if it only proves to be a pipe-dream, I have fun doing it, and the family stays healthy with great food.

Chickens at 6 Weeks - Getting Fat!

FATTIES!  These birds are definitely no stranger to a grain bin!  As you can see I did, in fact, upgrade that stupid watering unit to the galvanized 5 gallon unit that I'm used to.  So much easier!  Of course, balancing the stupid thing is my new puzzle every day!  All of the birds are doing great.  The injured bird only sat out for two days and she was returned to the flock.  I can't even tell which one she is anymore.  I established their butchering date.  They will all be dropped off in the morning of July 25th, and picked up that evening.  The great news is that I recently figured out that they will be sold for $1.69/pound!  I'm so excited that I finally have something that I'm raising that beats out grocery store prices.  That makes my chicken cleaner, more nutritious, more humanely and responsibly raised, AND cheaper!  That's progress.  Anyone interested in buying, please let me know.  If I get enough orders I will be raising up to 200 more birds!
