My dream for Kenny Ray

"make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody."

1 Thessalonians 4:11-12

First batch of chickens and turkeys and no bees

Friday night Kenny Ray and I went to Germantown Ohio, about 45 minutes from the house to pick up our first batch of broilers for the year 40 of them. I like to get them there as they are .98
cents cheaper per bird plus no shipping. While we were there the man had also just received some turkey poults so I told Kenny Ray to pick him out 3 turkey's. Will see what happens my Dad always said they were hard to raise. It frosted here Friday night and they all came thru ok.
I usually do not start them this early but the weather has been so nice and warm, although a little wet I thought I might get an extra batch in this year. I do have an order placed for some Freedom Rangers for May 12. I am a little nervous this year as I have some new neighbors, I hope they do not complain even though I move the chicks in about 15 days to another piece of ground,
It could be a problem. I checked my other bee hives today at the farm and it's now official i lost all 3 hives that I had left. it was a hard winter. Have not made up mind if I will replace or not.
