Even though the heat index was 105+ I got a lot accomplished today. Dad has his game cameras up and hopefully we set them right. We should have some photos Sunday and maybe we'll see something interesting. Got the chicken coop fixed, moved, cleaned. Out of the 7 baby chicks...which are no longer babies...we have 3 hens and 4 roosters, grr. 2 roosters are going bye bye this weekend. I'm going to keep 2 of them for the time being. The new hens should start laying in Sept. - Oct. and if all the hens lay that is 7 eggs a day, ekk...If anyone needs eggs in a couple of months let me know. I was honestly hoping for more hens but with just 7 I won't have to build a new coop at the moment.
I took some photos but I'm going to wait to post them. Michael and I are raising caterpillars/butterflies. I'm not sure what they are but I've been taking photos of their progress and we have a couple of Chrysalis (cocoons) at the moment. I bought a special butterfly pen to raise them in and so far so good.
I watched the bucks out in the pasture tonight and they're antlers have grown. I just wish they'd come up when it was light enough for decent photos.
Tomorrow we are going to put a 20 ft culvert pipe in at the end of our driveway at the property. The one we had in there was concrete and it's caving in, not good! Soon we hope to start on the concrete for the bridge but we had to fix the driveway. Don't want a Cement truck falling through, ekk...That could be a little bit messy.
Looks like it is going to be a busy weekend and hopefully we can get a lot of work done in the morning before it gets hot.
Hope y'all have a Great Weekend!!
