SCORE!

Yesterday I sold all the babies except the 3 I am keeping, and my neighbors he still hasn't picked up. Plus I sold 3 pullets! YAY!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Now I have to go spend the money. I need to buy feed today, and some other things. I had some sneezing going on yesterday, not good. I had to lightly medicate a few pens, I hate to do it, but I can't afford to lose my whole flock. I really need to get on improving my pens, they need to be enclosed on 3 sides and I need to get in there and clean them out. The rain is a huge culprit, and I need to prepare for it. I have to have Larry find me some saw mill lumber, b/c that is what I plan on enclosing it with and one end needs to be enclosed this weekend. I also need to start planning the run, Summer is approaching and we will need it. The barn nursery pen also needs to be fixed and I need another pen for my Wyandottes at some point this summer b/c the back pen is going to turn into my sell pen or my eating egg pen. Larry has mentioned the possiblity of building a pen down by the spring, I'm not sure about that for a few reasons, but we will see.
I got 14 eggs yesterday. I am pretty sure a few of them were just missed on Wed, b/c they were in new places and Bo collected eggs yesterday, but even at that, Bo brought in around 6 Wed and then 14 yesterday, that's a lot of eggs for 2 days. I hope I have a similar experience today.
I have a few chicks supposed to hatch tomorrow, then some on Wed and next Sat. I hope the sells stay up for the entire summer. Maybe I can stockpile some feed for the winter. I really need to start my search for storage. I really want a massive chest type freezer that is not working. It would be perfect for bag storage, then I want some galvanized garbage cans for each different feed. I have been thinking of making my own mix, I am not sure though. I have a hug 100 gallon barrel. (I think it's 100 gallon) I have been thinking about mixing rooster booster, oyster shells and layer in it. It would be easier to mix, lay in on it's side and roll it. Then I would need a long handled scoop, But I think I have the figured out also. Then I would only have to keep the feeders filled with that mixture and they would get their entire balanced diet in one feeder. I may work on that this weekend.
