Is It Spring Yet?
We've got a list of things to do this spring. Most everything has to get done in March and April in order to be ready for the summer season.
1. Build hoophouse. Old hoophouse belongs to new hens.
2. Fix up henhouse, actually old hoophouse. Need shadecloth, roosts and nesting boxes. Clean up from over wintered roasters.
3. Build brooders for 1000 chickens. That's right, 1000.
4. Locate a brooding house for 1000 chickens...how bout the garage? The cars can stay outside. The chickens can't.
5. Build moveable pens for 1000 pastured chickens
6. Erect fence to keep chickens in their allocated 3 acres of pasture.
7. Get certified organic. No don't. No do. No later. Oh boy.
8. Mix soil. Plant seeds. Grow plants.
As usual, even without a full time job it is going to be chaos. The full time job has actually been replaced by full time antiquing which includes buying, restoring, selling, shipping, etc. AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
