REPEATING:

"PFAS, human-made chemicals found in everyday products.

The fertilizer, made from processed sewage sludge called biosolids, was promoted as an environmentally friendly option for years."

In addition to "Ithica" you have (or will have soon) the "Ladies" not just for eggs, but to further grow your thriving gardens on your spacious grounds!

Some very nice pictures of your County Fair ready produce!

‘The Girl’s Club House’ will be cleaned out come Spring and added to a separate pile; as you know, chicken manure needs to compost for at least a year - too much acid, otherwise.

But, you’re right! We can improve production a year out and many years to come. Beau is so CrAzY about those hens! Never thought he’d take to them as he has. He ‘fell in love’ at Farm & Fleet when we were buying fluffy yellow chicks last Spring and he’s not been the same since! ;)

Well, it would be good if chickens provide him a good reason at his age to hang around the farm and gardening wife rather than heading up north to chase bears around wolf and moose infested spaghnum bogs and Alder thickets with packs of baying hounds!

After us being ‘cooped up’ all winter, when Spring Training Camp starts, I’m more than happy to see them all go! ;)
