Warm up and flood proofing
The last week of January and first week of Febuary at Hanging Mountain was productive and rough. My son finally got all the old chicken stuff out of the flooded house and on the pasture. He dug a ditch around the chicken house and I believe, hope, and pray that this manuever takes care of the problem. That may be his last major project on the farm as he has officially joined the ranks of the employed! We are very proud of him.
Last week the girl's water stayed frozen all week and Carlene and I had keep taking heated water down to the birds. Now with the warm up things are better and they are laying like crazy.
I am order maore chicks this week for delivery on ar about April 1. They will be Delawares. That is eggsciting!
