ThreeBoysChicks - Sold Sheep and Guineas, what to buy.....

[ThreeBoysChicks]

Thank You - Same to you. Hoping to put down lime and overseed the pastures this weekend. Need to check the weather. Next week Hatchery Pullet chicks should arrive. I have all of them SOLD except about 20 and several persons intersted. I purchased 50, one person is taking 18, so I sold them to her for $3 a chick. Everyone else, I am selling the for $5 a chick. In the end, I am keeping 5 pullet chicks for my laying house (variety) and will still make almost $100 on the deal.

Or how about changing the batteries on a stuffed toy with surgical precision.

I see Nifty had to post the rule reminder. So I am not going to comment other than to say, "We are all a little nuts."

How ya doing Ed?

I am doing well. I have a client that is doing a big upgrade tonight, so I may be working, although, they are pretty self-sufficient.

Today, I did job I hate to do..... clean up the dog's yard. We have four large dogs and they have part of the backyard for themselves. I had not cleaned up the poop for 1.5 months. I got 2 chicken feed bags 1/2 full each. I hate that job. I purchased some trees on-line to provide some shade in the pastures. Of course, I might be dead before they actually do that. I took 77Herford's advice and purchased some Quaking Aspen.

Tomorrows weather is to be warm and calm winds so I plan to put down lime and over seed the pastures and our yard.

Hatched out 20 chicks yesterday and already sold several this weekend. Another batch moving to the hatcher tonight.

My middle son made the high-school baseball team. He is very excited. He could not play last year because of a broken ankle. So my wife took him shopping for a new bat, shoes, etc. Our youngest needed new shoes, a helmet, etc. Then our middle son needed to order a sweatshirt and t-shirt that are for the baseball team. In the end, spent like $700 on baseball stuff today. I said, I am buying another goat, this is crazy. My wife gave me "the look".

All-in-all, I cannot complain. Thanks for asking!

Congrats to your son on making the team!

Well...... Sunday afternoon, I got the over-seeding done on the yard and the large pasture. Need to get some more seed for the small pasture. Another batch of chicks are hatching now and Nina is still growing. I could not get on BYH last evening because our Internet was out. But it is back. Glad to see everyone is still around.

Oh --- I got my BYH calendar in the mail today. I had asked for one for Christmas, then my birthday. So finally, I bought it myself.

Everyone have a great night.

Wow getting alot done.

Seven hundred on Baseball stuff?!? Yikes. That's my whole income for a month! And your wife gave you the look for one little goat? One little teeny tiny goat. Well, that would be a bit of stretch after spending all that on the children.

So what kind of goat are you getting and when are you getting her/it/him?
