So today I didn't get much done and have been in a bit of a grumpy mood.

I had 4 people lined up to buy chicks. The hatchery sent them late, by 4 days. In that 4 days, I've gotten 4 emails or phone calls..."Went ahead and got my chicks at TSC (or rural king) so I won't be needing any of yours" so now I've got 120 extra chicks.
I guess the lure of chicks under their noses made it impossible to wait 4 more days. :/

150 chicks is a lot. Ran an add on C-list and got NO hits so far.

I was supposed to have to work at 5 am tomorrow, and had a 4-H meeting tonight, so I tried to make myself take a nap today...basically wasted 1.5 hrs just lying there b/c I didn't sleep....and then work calls and tells me not to come in, it was a small truck...so much I coulda been out doing instead of trying to sleep...for nothing.

And I put off spraying weeds b/c there was a chance of showers / storms........then it didn't rain.

Tomorrow WILL be a better day...................right?

Kim tomorrow is supposed to be beautiful high of 86 and sunny I heard. You can spray those weeds tomorrow. Plus I bet people will start calling soon and come get those chicks this weekend. Tomorrow is another day just make the best of it is all we can do

Tomorrow will be a better day.

I have 75 chicks that I am keeping for extra days on purpose. I have 4 people who want them at age 6 weeks so they don't have to run a heat lamp. So I will grow them out for 6 weeks for them and then charge them more. It works out great for me. If you are stuck with any, advertise the girls as "started pullets" and people go crazy for them. Make sure you charge at least double the newborn chick price. I charge $5 for 6 week old chicks. I hope you are able to sell yours quickly so you aren't stuck with them, but if not try the "started poultry" thing.

21 gallons of weedkiller put down on the garden and driveways.
That 3 gallon backpack sprayer got heavier every fill up.

OK, that chore's done....but I still have a long list, and of course all of it needs done 'first'..... I love to see spring but she sure wears me out.

Sold 6 australorp chicks and gave away 45 RIR roo chicks today, then disbudded 2 goat kids.
Lined up buyers for some of the Flemish and took a couple 'goat emergency' phone calls.
One was a newborn w/ scours and of course they tell me they'll go get the meds tomorrow. *sigh* I offered to give her a dose for tonight but no, they're too busy.
(expecting to hear later that the kid died....)
The other was the folks who bought Yoda. She has blood on her tail and they were sorta freaked out, thinking she might have worms. I explained that does pass blood after kidding so....it's normal. They felt sorta silly but are relieved.

Fixed supper and now I'm gonna go shower all the weedkiller off of me and hit my chair.

Hope everyone else had a productive / nice day today.

 

[Sunny & the 5 egg layers]

Sounds like you had a productive day!
Only 99 more chicks to find a home for!

 

[RPC]

Well I bet it feels nice to know you got the drive way done and it was a nice day for it. So Yoda kidded alright I am guessing for those people. That's always good. I hope you get as much done tomorrow as you would like too.

 

[Roll farms]

Yeah....Yoda gave them TWIN DOES out of Bullitt.....the turd.

eta, if I'd kept her, she'da had twin bucks...........

 

[RPC]

Yes she would have.
