As a sure sign of spring, our 50 meaties arrived at the post office this morning. All appear to be in good health after their airplane ride from Mnt. Pleasant, Ohio. Our goal is no more then 3-5 losses. We are needing to house them on the back little porch of the rental. It is crowded, but will do fine. Now we can open the back door and eat and watch them from the kitchen table just three feet away.
We are hoping we move out to the land within four weeks but that might be optimistic. We will certainly be ready to get them in the chicken tractor by then. The house is nearing completion. They are painting this week inside. (Mark, your idea about the extended jambs turned out to look quite nice!) Next week the stone mason might start on the fireplace. Then it is flooring, cabinets, finish electrical, and a few things outside.
The turkeys are scheduled to arrive on April 26, right about when the meaties will be moving out to the tractor.
