SInce we have some more Michigan members, I thought I would get this thread going again.
So what's going on in Michigan?
For me, I've got 2 batches of chicks I'm still brooding and got to build a new run and coop for, std cochins in one batch, black stars and easter eggers in the other.
Also, I'm busy conditioning my horse for our first competitive trail ride for the year up at the Bay de Noc-Grand Island Trail that runs from Rapid River to Munising in da U.P. We're only doing 25 miles on Sunday, but it's a fun trail, the trees are so HUGE. I just hope it's fairly warm this year. When I rode it in '08, the temp was only in the 40s all day, did not make for fun river crossings
So what's everyone else up to?

Chillin' with the herd
Last night, my husband and I finished the chicken coop/run. We have 44 chickens and we are so happy to have them out of the garage. Next we have to put up the run for a buck and wether. After that we have to finish the goat shed. We pick them up in 2 weeks, so we will be busy every day/night that it doesn't rain. 
I am so happy yet exhausted and we only just started. LOL

We got about 7 of them growing near our garage, enough for DH to fry them up for a side dish.Trail rider said:Moreal Mushroom Hunting. Great season this year.
Anyone started their garden yet?
You sound very busy, Farmer Chick. What kind of goats are you getting?

michickenwrangler,
My husband and I will be picking up 4 Kinder goats from KinderKorner. 2 doelings, buck, + wether. This will be my maiden voyage into goat keeping. I'm so excited!
We used to have morel mushrooms growing in the yard, but I haven't seen any in years. Not sure what happened to them. My son went to environmental camp and brought home a large mesh bag full of them. That was awesome.

Cool, have fun with your goats. I enjoyed mine.
I had to give mine away a few weeks ago and it still aches me a bit to visit the goat section ...
I need to get to your section of the woods sometime soon. I just LOVE that market there in Kalkaska. We were there with our rooster last year (long story) and stocked up on blueberries, raw honey and lots of other good stuff
Actually, I'll be up at the Hopkins Creek trail camp last weekend in June for an endurance ride.
Where does your son go to environmental camp?
