Good Reading!

I've been focusing on the chickens lately, and a friend of ours who farms on a larger scale than us recommended this book.

"The Small Scale Poultry Flock"
by Harvey Ussery

This is the EVERYTHING about "it" book for chickens.  from hatching, through feeding and on to cooking...




Thanks for letting us borrow it John!  Our copy is on the way from Amazon now.

Candling

Today we took a couples minutes to show our son where his new turkeys were!  It looks promising so far...
Four of them looked like they might not be developing.   However all the rest have something going on,  including Henny Penny's egg that we pulled in.
More to follow,  but looking good!
Still holding at 101 degrees and about 40 to 50 percent humidity.
