We had 6 Black Sex Links and 16 Buff Orpingtons. Thats 23/35 I think thats pretty good. I think Im gonna get a bator now! I like this. Hatch em when you want and much much cheaper!

Here is another picture of momma and her 15 ducklings:

I see! Even better. Yeah I know there poop is awesome thats what with the cabbage and peppers. I put ashes, chicken poop, rabbit poop and rotted leaves and plowed it together for that soil. It should be good.

holy moley, Buff, maybe you should disconnect the internet more often. Nice work.

Today, the chickens feasted on the four broccoli plants I put out Saturday.

Hey Buff, I just wanted to say thank you for your attitude, work ethic, and everything else you share here. I just spent 3 hours helping set up for a high school choir concert tomorrow night. The choir was having a dress rehearsal, so the boosters were also feeding the lot, too. I worked my rear off.

The rudeness, lack of respect, and general "needs-a-trip-to-the-woodshed" behaviors had me really frustrated. My DD was in tears on the way home because of the crappy attitudes of her peers.

Thanks, James, for giving this old Tater hope that there are still good young people out there in the world!

There are still some good ones out there. They just don't get noticed as much as the others because they're in the minority.
