Wannabefree...guess what I got in the mail today!?!?!?!?

You know, RU has a zebu bull. (He was SUPPOSED to be a steer!) Maybe she should see about using him for breeding.
 
Jamester, glad you're still getting yours, but I won't be. First off the man never called for me to come look, and DH's unemployment has ran out, still no signs of work. Maybe later :hu It's no big deal, just not the right time. The door wasn't open for me obviously ;)

I got 27 strawberries set out today, an apple tree, and two raspberry bushes :D

Don't ask me what kind of apple tree.....it's just the kind that is self polinating :P That's all I cared about. I justed wanted a self polinating apple. I'm rather simple :lol: Raspberries are for DH, strawverries are for me and the neighbors and that hunk of chocolate waiting in the freezer to be melted down and wrapped around a big juicy ripe berry.... :drool

I got eggs delivered today, and a bit of necessary shopping done with a few freebies from Wally Mart.

I need to make bread and clean up my bator for the next round. :D

Saturday I am taking several chickens to the flea market for sale. I am getting TOO many eggs, and want to cut back my layers just a smidgen. I think right now I have 38, about 20 of which are laying, and then some little ones that will be laying in a couple months. I have the chicks sold already, and any others I happen to hatch this Spring, so I am concentrating on making a bit of cash with them. Even cutting back we will have too many darn eggs! I have plenty frozen already! I want more duck eggs, but NO MORE chicken eggs! I can't even keep enough cartons for the dang things right now :P I have a couple of loyal customers i want to keep in eggs, but beyond that...I need to cut back on the feed bill for a bit. The chickens are already getting scrambled eggs once a week or so and I don't want to make that a habit. I have been getting about 8-9 dozen per week. We can only handle about 3 and that is pushing it. The neighbors and customers get 4 dozen, so I need to cut back about 8-10 hens.
 
We are getting gobs of eggs! But we sell them like crazy!!! So worth it! Also the duck has a nest going on :D 7 or 8 eggs

My ducks seem to have quit :hu I wish I could find more customers and keep the birds, but I really need to cut back.

My one I hope will set, and I have figured it up by the time the clutch is finished in 10 days or so. They begin incubation almost 5 and a half weeks before easter :D
 
I'm hoping to have bunnies for sale at Easter this year. I may have some ducks and chicks too. I plan on it, but things don't always go as planned :P
 
Sorry to hear about the no-go on the mini's. Maybe the door that does open for you will be even neater. :hu

I have been looking into waxing eggs :P We get more than we need, then my girls slack right off, and I have a bunch of wax from my cheese experiments, so why not?!

Yeah I have read of doing water glass and different things to preserve them. I want to pickle some, but don't remember if I like pickled eggs or not :hu Maybe some spicy pickled eggs would be good :drool I LOVE the Penrose beer sausages and was thinking if I could get THAT flavor on a boiled egg...I'd do a TON of them :P Never heard of waxing...enlighten me :D
