Chickens, Weather, and Onions.

Happy Thursday!  We have more chickens today.  Puts us at a few over 70 for eggs and around 10 for meat.  We will be adding more chickens for eggs, depending on demand.  By summer we will be getting 6 dozen eggs a day.  Not a lot if they sell, a ton if nobody buys them.

We are also raising a few chickens for meat.  Will process them when they reach 10 pounds or so.  We are going to see if there is any demand for fresh, pasture raised, chickens in Taney county.  The price would be around $2.50 a pound.  Wal-mart will beat us on price, but not on taste.

Yesterday we also received the remainder of our seeds, and onion starts, for the year.  The onions, and leeks, will go into the ground next week.  Also, next week we will plant potatoes, garlic, and a few other cold crops.  Spring is right around the corner. 

 I am getting a little tired of these cold spells.  I am also tired of the weather forecasters who are not even close on their forecast.  It use to not bother me too much, it I even cared.  But now that I do pay attention, and plan activities around rain and snow, it is starting to be a huge problem.  Even if they were close.  If is suppose to snow 1-3 inches, and nothing shows, nothing, that gets me.  Oh well, if that is my worse complaint, everything must be ok.

Thanks, have a great weekend.
