October is here, my Favorite month crisp cool weather, color everywhere!!! Hot tea, hot chocolate and cider, sweatpants and sweaters, all of my favorite things!!! Whooo-Hooo.
This past month, we sent in 4 of our 5 male chickens in to the processor. They weren't that big yet, just over 3lbs each, but they were causing quite the ruckus in the chicken yard. We roasted 2 of them for dinner that same night. It was wonderful eating something we have raised ourselves. It was a little weird at first mainly because I am not use to cooking a whole chicken, usually it's just parts. But, it was very good, and we still have one male left to keep the ladies in line. About a week after the four of them left one or more of our chickens started laying eggs just little pullet eggs but it was so exciting, my hubs found them first in the coop and since I was at work I made him send me a picture. Then about a week after we started getting chicken eggs one of the turkeys started laying two. Both chicken and turkey seem too average an egg every day and a half. Our big saturday morning breakfast's now consist of our very own farm fresh egg's. I get a big grin on my face whenever I think about this.
Life is currently fantastic, I live on a small little farm with my wonderful husband and son, with two dogs, a cat and a fish. Outside we have turkey's, chickens, apple and pear tree's. What could be better!
