I have moved all the chicks out to the Keetergarten, after making it more chick safe by adding a second layer of 1" poultry netting to the inside of the pen. So the garage is slowly getting back to normal, at least for the moment.
The guineas have started laying - willy nilly - here, there and anywhere I find a guinea egg. I'm going to incubate them all again this year, once I have about 30 eggs or so. I think I'll incubate some of the duck eggs, too. I'd like more ducks, but they cost over $5 each at the feed stores as ducklings!
I'm also going to incubate some eggs from Darling, our very smart little bitty chicken, just to see if what she has learned about staying safe from predators is passed along to her chicks.
I'm pretty excited about a new farm implement John bought me for Mother's Day! It is a disc cultivator that goes behind our Polaris Ranger. We found it at Feldmans Farm and Home in Bonner Springs, Kansas, several hundred dollars less than the exact same model at Northern Tool Supply, TSC and Orschleins.
I can use it to cultivate the area I want to be my garden area - much easier than using the damn Sears overly-expensive and unreliable tiller that is only one year old and will not work! If this disk cultivator works, I'm selling the damn tiller!
I'm sitting around waiting for the rain to stop, so I can go outside safely (there is lightening close enough that I don't want to be a target) and feed the goats, horses, chickens, Buffy and get the trash out!
Hopefully, I'll be able to make it to the Farmers Market tomorrow. I'm on antibiotics and I'm not contagious, so if I have enough energy, I'll be at the Leavenworth Farmers Market tomorrow morning - bright and early! (ugh!)
Well, the sky is looking better. I'm off to check the chickens!

Yes, she got farm implements for Mother’s Day.
What’s your point?
I think it’s that you should write the ad for when you sell the tiller.
Other than that, isn’t the idea to give her what she wants rather than what you think she needs? Sounds like you did good to me!
