Weeeeeeee!

We (Kyle) have strawberries!!!

Just in the one bed.....

but although these are June Bearing, they don't seem to care.

The other bed is focusing on plant growth and sending out

tons of runners, which is also good...

but it's fun to nibble on an occasional strawberry.

And they are AMAZING!!!!!

The broiler chickens are growing FAST.

And have seriously outgrown their little brooder.

The plan was to move them into their broiler coop.

Which would require putting up the electric fence

and having Kyle move out there with Luna. (Rottweiler)

But we aren't ready for that.

(Mostly I AM not ready for that.... lol)

So... I had a brilliant idea yesterday.

We stuck them in the egg mobile!

We didn't have enough shavings for the whole floor...

Kyle is heading into town to get some supplies for

the new shed he's building, and 3 more bales of shavings.

But there is NO WAY anything can get in 

and harm them, so he can stay in town

and Luna can stay here for a bit longer until

he's ready to move out.

We will want to move them into the broiler coop

in the next couple of weeks.

They need to be on the grass.

But at least this was a good temporary option.

He put wire mesh both at the top and at the

bottom for good air circulation.

The layers will be up on the roost bars at night

or up in the nest boxes during the day.

But these little guys are down on the floor

and it was WINDY (and kind of chilly) so we

put a board up to block one side on the floor to

give them some protection.

It was in the 100's all last week,

but this week the high is in the 80's and so far

today it's only 71!

(Rod is outside working in a JACKET!)

Hahahahahaha.

Anyhow.

I'm heading out to the freeze dryer to get the

thin crust pizza I put in there on Wed.

(It was done yesterday but it was late,

so I added some hours...)

I baked them and then cut them into little

cracker-sized squares.

Here's hoping they are good!

There's a brand that sells 3 for $9.

So I bought 6.

One for each tray, and one for lunch.

It was just pepperoni, but it was tasty.

I'm excited to give these a try.

I need to get them bagged up for tomorrow.

And then I'm teaching again tonight.

I might run out to the farm real quick though

just to check on the chicks since Kyle is 

going into Hays.

And I'm curious.

Have a great weekend!!!!
