Chickens and Ducks

Our chick sale is going great, they are all selling fast! But our brooder is still filling up and we may need to invest in another one.  The young hens we have are going to start laying their first eggs sometime next month and then we will begin to sell eggs at the Corvallis-Albany Farmer's Market in April.  Terrill has been hard at work building our new chicken coop.  This will allow us to raise purebred chicks!

Unfortunately our Muscovy ducks keep wondering onto the neighbor's property so we have fenced them in - they still have a half acre to roam so hopefully that will keep them happy :)  We will expand that area to an acre next week during spring break.
