So if you ever saw the movie you would understand the meaning of the "Green Mile" In this case you can see the chicken tractor at the end of the trail which is advancing twenty feet closer to the execution site every day. This Saturday the meaties are going to be processed just in time to beat the impinging summer heat. They will head to the comforts of our cool deep freeze. They grew very well this year and are ready for harvest at 7.5 weeks. I honestly have to say I will be glad to see them go, as once again it meant two trips out to the land every day to feed, water, and move their tractor. Below you can see that their brief time on this earth was days of relaxing in the shade ... and eating and sleeping.
Our young layers are enjoying their lives of leisure foraging about the yard (when we are around) and hanging out in their deluxe accommodations.
Our turkeys are doing well, about 2.5 weeks old, we lost one to a STD (No, not ghonorrhea....sudden turkey death syndrome!) Fine one day, dead the next... the others seem to be quite vigorous and I hope to get them moved out to the land soon.
The house.. still putting along...supposedly we will be in by the end of the month. I will post some reveal pictures when it is done...don't hold you breath.
