Today we sent off  2 full trailer loads of our aged composted horse manure.   The manure is heading straight to the customers  garden to be tilled into the soil.  In this part of the country it is the time to start working organic material and fertilizer into your garden areas.   If we knew that the poo was so desirable we would have started selling it years ago :)    For years we have simply spread it over our pasture but lately we can’t produce enough.  That’s saying a lot with 4 horses working on it 24 hours a day.    Move over oil there is new “black gold” in town.

This week we sent our first set of eggs to the state of New Jersey. There is no question our chickens are proud to know they have family all over the United States. That even includes New Jersey :) Perhaps one day, some of the chicks will show up on the Jersey Shore tv show?? You never know.

This week we completed our custom chick brooder.  The new brooder, aka “Big Momma”,  features a thermostat controlled heat lamp and a pull out drawer for easy cleaning.  All of our new hatched chicks will now have luxury accommodations for their first few weeks of life.

While “Big Momma” waits for her first house guests, she has been keeping watch over  the next batch of eggs in line for the incubator.   Three weeks from now those eggs will be visiting Big Momma again in the form of chicks.
