Look what I got in the mail today





Mike and #1 Son have been working on a chicken coop, built using mostly found materials and guiding info found a Backyard Chickens. The plan has been to buy several chicks in a couple of months, but since I've learned that means we won't have our fresh eggs for several months, we're thinking we might buy a few hens so we can have eggs sooner. Naturally, advice is always welcome.

We still have not found a source for raw cow's milk, so my stepdad recommended we get a couple of goats - milk plus lawn care service - so we're looking into that now, too.
