I've got eggs under two that I blocked off from the others - the rest of them are setting on golf balls. When the eggs start hatching I'll slip a baby under each of the others at night to give them something to raise so they will get on with life! AND I BOUGHT NON BROODY BREEDS DAMMIT! It gets worse every year...... *sigh* I'm just sure these chickens will be the death of me.basicliving@backtobasicliving.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07782631124134813311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-16681962239128374412010-04-06T20:34:26.587-04:002010-04-06T20:34:26.587-04:00B2B, I love that you said a broody will hatch a ro...B2B, I love that you said a broody will hatch a rock! However, some of mine are a little silly. I have some banties that just won't sit still. <br /><br />Wickett, dontcha just laugh when people say that pigs are soooo cute. Ha! I love the old farmer saying that the stink "smells like money to me."

I like 'em too, as it doesn't seem like a farm without them.<br /><br />(I'm definitely with you on the pig thing though--I absolutely HATE pigs, mainly because I was raised on a pig farm....'nuff said.)<br /><br />Have a wonderful Easter :-)wickett6029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-84064114548800914902010-04-03T21:29:10.687-04:002010-04-03T21:29:10.687-04:00I don't know what to substitute for plain ol&#...I don't know what to substitute for plain ol' lime - and a garden can't do without it..... I agree with you. Nothing better than a broody for hatching out chicks. A broody will hatch out a rock if you give her enough time! I hope I NEVER have to incubate - broodies do a way better job and it's WAY less work for me. Can't wait to hear how this story end up! Great fun - you are always an inspiration.basicliving@backtobasicliving.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07782631124134813311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-17777379283059191432010-04-03T20:51:17.176-04:002010-04-03T20:51:17.176-04:00RE: Lime

The short answer is that our clay soil improves dramatically with lime/limestone. <br /><br />Normally I dont like to use a lot of chemically stuff.. but this really does a great job and technically I think is more of a mineral.Ohiofarmgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02606563929369721111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-32150195126259019322010-04-03T19:15:02.403-04:002010-04-03T19:15:02.403-04:00Lime?
