From Town to Country: A Wife's Tale

• Thursday, April 3, 2008 - Hillary Update

Posted in Animals

Still no new babies in the barn.  Hillary is feeling better today.  She was up and eating when I checked on her.  She gave me a goat kiss!  Which was weird because she is pretty much a wild goat, I happily accepted her affection.  Her lungs are clear .  Thanks for your info, Marilyn!

I was in the farm store today and found out that I can't get the turkey poults I ordered until May 7th!  I was hoping for earlier but I'll take them in May.  I was told since I'm ordering heritage turkeys it makes them harder to get some years and this is one of those years. 

I was also reading that most hatcheries have a shortage of chicks this year.  Hens aren't laying and they are having poor hatches.  I hope I can get my broilers on time.

About Me

We've been working on the family farm for 3 years trying to get it back to a working farm. The farm was neglected for 15+ years before we took it on. The summer of 2008 is our family's first experience living in the country, so began our journey from town to country...
