And just like that July is almost over... There is lots happening at the farm now that summer is in full swing and time is flying. All the animals moved out to pasture in June so daily chores are a bit more involved now.
A few weeks ago our flock of 240 young laying hens went out on pasture. They will start laying sometime in late September and we should have plenty of eggs for everyone then. So for those of you who are currently not getting eggs because we don’t have enough, hold on just a little while longer.
With so many young laying hens on pasture we needed 2 more portable chicken shelters to be able to house the meat birds who where still in the brooder. So while my (Norwin’s) parents where gone to Germany for most of June we used my dad’s wood working shop to build 2 more shelters. It was lovely building them inside as it allowed us to work on them whenever it rained, or was really hot outside.
And finally we got the shelters finished and meat birds moved out at the end of June.
