Farm Life

Its been awhile.  Lots have gone on since I last wrote.  My focus is going to be on my family and farm.  Yeah, we are trying a Green Acres kind of thing.  We now have chickens and roosters.  We may get more animals, but a little at a time.  Fresh eggs are a nice thing to have.  We know what they are eating.  In this process, I have already gotten 3 killed.  When you build a coop/run, it has to be secured from predators.  Flying, digging, etc.  Raccoons are a viscous predator.  They only take the head of the chicken.  Now when it comes to a possible Bobcat attack, they take the whole thing.  Minus the red thing on a roosters head.  It even spilled very little blood.  These are things we are learning.  Soon, our land will be fenced in and we may get some other animals, like goats.  Getting back to roosters.  They are a natural alarm clock.  Every morning at around 5:30 am, they start crowing.  Some can ignore them, but, I can not.
