Yep! we have more as of today! 21 new Cornish meat birds. They are always so cute when they are babies. The first batch that came before Easter are growing up a bit. They may not be ready for processing in 6 weeks, maybe around 7 or 8 weeks. They are a bit smaller than the Cornish Cross from last year.

I mentioned that I enjoy Saturdays, right? Always a great day no matter what we’re doing. This Saturday was a bit different because we were celebrating a couple of friends’ birthdays. So, while it wasn’t exactly a lazy day, it was a day of celebration that we don’t really enjoy often. Sue did get a projected completed this morning, so I thought I’d show what she did while I did what I did, then what we both did. 🙂

We did a thing. Yesterday morning we worked on revamping the coop/tractor for Flattop, Nudie booty, and the ducks. This time I remembered to take photos, even though I didn’t remember my own phone.

We do try. I think I’ve mentioned this before. We are making attempts and reusing as much as we can, throwing out as little as possible. Finding different uses for things that might end up in our trash. Granted… we do not do as much as we probably could with containers and the like. But we give it a go. We’re pretty good about using food scraps for the chickens and the dogs. We definitely are amazing at using the yogurt and cottage cheese containers until they disintegrate. We use our wire scrapes as much as possible and other bits that we accumulate. We’d love to get more experience using building cast-offs. Thought I’d talk about a couple of projects reusing, and then one that didn’t.
