Signs of Spring
Although Spring seems to be taking its' time, there are a few signs that it will eventually show up! Always exciting to see that first Robin!
Shit Kicking
Now that the melt is on and the horses are locked out of the front field it’s time to spread the manure that was hidden under the snow around. Quite literally give it a good shit kickin!!! Just watch the fecal balls fly...
Bare Bum Bruces
Our 2nd lot of layers, aka 'The Bruces' are Red Rock Crosses and they are a more agressive chicken than the 'Maggies' which, if memory serves, are Red Sussex Crosses. Even though they have a nice big run, everyone tends to get a little grumpy and bored when the winter drags on. I tend to alliviate this boredom by knitting, but apparently 'The Bruces' think pecking the crap out of each other is a much more interesting activity. Quite frankly it's a little cold to be walking around outside with a bare bum so I've picked up some 'stop peck' which is supposed to help stop this cannabalistic behaviour. It's red, slimy and smells like cheap wieners - I kid you not! You grab a chicken and get smearing...
Fashion Footwear for Spring
There is a reason one trades one's Sorels in for Hunters this time of year. Oh ya MUD!!!
Grass!!!
I spy with my little eye something that is green... Oh please let it be!
