Day old Buff Orphingtons anyone? Please?

Alex and his Rubik's cube

Alex is trying to solve his rubik's cube for the Youth Conference Talent Show. We made a video to enter, this is part of it. He has been driving us nuts for weeks with this project, but I didn't find out that it was an official project until a few days ago. I also had no idea that he was able to solve the puzzle in a minute on average!!!

Spring is here

These are blue swedish ducklings. The one that looks like a bandit is a mutt. Half blue swede and the other half a mixture of Aunt Tammy's ducks.

Justin has been hatching eggs for the last couple of weeks. The week we got our show broilers (two weeks ago, Justin and Alex are showing them in the Milam Co. Fair), he hatched 5 chickens (3 survived). Last week he hatched 5 ducklings and 4 chicks. This morning he informs me that he already has 3 eggs showing signs of life. I'm soooooooo excited (not). Anyway, he is trying to sell them so if you are interested in saving my sanity gives us a call :)

The meat goats are due at the end of March and the Dairy goats are due the middle of April. We also got our first turkey egg today. And yes, Justin rushed it right in holding it with great care. We have four Turkey hens - that kind of scares me. How many eggs do you think they will lay?
