Stone Face Farm

So, a week after the big gathering and I think I have most of the stuff back where it belongs. Continue reading →

For this past week:

330 + feet of new pasture fence built
~ 25 people here for 4th of July celebration
Way too many late nights
A whole lot of very good food consumed
Several very hot days

Egg count for the week of 6/29/2014 thru 7/5/2014:

• Eggs gathered: 67
• Sold: 3 dozen
• Traded for labor (fence building) or used for picnic: 13 dozen
• Cartons filled: 5

It has been a busy week, not everything got done or even started that I intended to do. Well, there is always tomorrow!

I am a day late, again, in posting this weekly egg summary. Holiday weekends seem to throw me off for some reason. We had company this last sunday. My brother and his wife stayed overnight on their way back home from a wedding in Wyoming. Always a good excuse to light up the firepit and cook out. Continue reading →

Well, Jenni just went back to work for 7 weeks, we have a three day weekend, and there is still too much to do to be ready for the summer season. Continue reading →

This week I took all of the hatchlings down to the Jensen petting zoo so they could watch them for me while I re-arrange the duck pen. DuckSoup and his compatriate Stevie(the wonderduck) did not survive their second day. Not sure what happened, they were the smallest of the bunch. Could be they got trampled by the others or something else equally obscure. Continue reading →

The eggs are hatching!

I forgot to mention last post that Saturday the 3rd of May was the 25 day mark for the eggs in the incubator. That meant I had to take the turning  mechanism out, increase the humidity and decrease the temperature. Continue reading →
