I had expected to blog sooner than this, but sometimes, life just seems to get in the way.
So, here are a few updates.
Around January 7th, our olive eggers finally started laying. Well, at least 2 have. About half of our eggs are now the olive eggs. It's really cool to look into the egg carton, and see the multi-colored eggs.
January 9th, we had our first snow of the year. We didn't get a lot, and it was real pretty while it lasted, which wasn't long.
On January 15th, my Boy turned 16!!! Hard to believe! He got his permit towards the end of December, so we've been driving. He's not super thrilled about it., I keep wondering who's kid he really is! (Too bad he looks like me) Birthday person gets to pick the restaurant. And where did my boy pick? Charlies Chicken cause he wanted some Corn dodgers! He had 2 friends come over after school, and they hung out and played Magic until time to open presents and go get some food.
Over the weekend, I did some work on the chicken coop. We've had our chicken feeder hanging under the chicken coop. And it works pretty well. But when it's extremly muddy, wet, well, yucky, it's a real pain to get in there, and get it. I saw some cool chicken feeders built with PVC pipe recently. So we decided to make one. We'll see how well it works.
I have a 4" pipe that runs from inside the coop, right next to where we keep a 5 gallon bucket with food, down under the coop. There we made a little stopper and cover so hopefully, we'll not have any problems with it falling out, or with a lot of rain getting in it.
We'll see, and I'll update later on how it's going. (and you can't tell in this picture, but no, it is not sitting on the ground)
Guess that's it really. I've had one Boy Scout camp out over the weekend. Saturday night, it got down to 11 degrees and it snowed a bit on both Saturday and Sunday, but overall, everyone had a great time.
Until next time!
