We have lambs!!!!!

[SageHill]

I was trying to get one like it of Misty’s lambs but they ewe lamb is rather skittish so I had to take one of her and her brother separately.

The best photos are never planned.

Can’t get over them. I just want to sit and watch them play all day! Does it change after so many lambing seasons?

Never! I’m 10 years in, many lambs and the latest one is just as exciting as the first one.

I read that @Baymule is going to swing by your place next week. I’m trying to sign up for the meeting

Wednesday the 19th. I’m going to Windy Meadows hatchery to pick up 75 Cornish Cross chicks. I’m gonna try to leave here by 7, get there a little before 10. Take the tour and see what they have done, then she is riding with me to the hatchery in Campbell, outside of Greenville, so we can visit and I’ll drop her off on my way back. I can’t wait to see everything they have done.
See you there?

Geeze I could spring 30-40 chick surprise on myself, but 75? I’ve got work to do today after church, and probably tomorrow too. I need to put more dirt around the edges and my dirt pile is a giant mud pie. Need to run the new extension cord from porch light to coop, hang heat lamps, spread pine shavings that I don’t have, gather up waterers and feeders and have them ready to go, put the door latch on, cover door with dog food bag to keep wind and rain out, cover entire coop with giant tarp, weigh it down with cinder blocks (Lowe’s only had SIX yesterday!) then test run everything and cross my fingers that it all works and the poor little babies don’t freeze in February’s last fling. Oh and take the 4 bags of feed out of the back seat and put them in barrels on porch.

I must have a FEVER!

Windy Meadows, we’ve gotten chicken from them before and are also considering getting some Cornish Cross from there. I’ll see if I can make it. There’s always so much to do here

You have to preorder your chicks. They are $1.60. When you select a date on their website, it says how many are available. If you have never raised them before, I’d start with 10. That wouldn’t be overwhelming.

I don’t think we are there yet. We have over 70 laying hens (some are dual purpose) right now my Memaw and the kids deal with the chickens. I stay in my lane and tend to the sheep

Good thing about meat chickens is 2 months and you’re done. It gets intensive, but worth the 2 months of work for a years supply of chicken.

40 years of raising dairy goat kids and lambs and it never gets old just watching those babies hop and chase each other round! Adorable.

My friend's kids in 4-H rased meat birds for the fair. After the fair they sold off the extra chckens. I aked her why she ddn't put thm in her freezer and she said she couldn't eat them. She said she ade the m ostake of "making eye contact with them".
