Chiken growth.

For the past week we haven't had a lot of stuff going on lately!  Selling the eggs is going on fine, the Lord is really answering prayer!  We're getting around 60-70 eggs a day now and getting only about 2 blue eggs a day and around 5 white eggs a day and the rest are brown eggs!  We are still thinkin' about the mixed dozen, if y'all would like it just leave a comment or email us at: wassfam@aol.com!

Well let's do the interview of the "girls" and see the stages of their growth!

This is the day we got them they were about three days old.

And this is when we moved them to the chicken coop.....about 12 weeks old

and getting older...4 months or so.

when we allowed them to free roam...

older....about 5 months

and when we moved them to their home base for the rest of their lives on pasture.....6 and beyond......

and how they are right now!!

From this...





To this!!




They grow very fast compared to humans!


We hope to hear from ya'll soon!
Till next time , God Bless

Exciting happenings!

We have some new things happening on the farm!  First we did find the snake....
 He had four eggs in his belly,

and it was also as tall as Seth!
We found him when we were movin' the eggs boxes and he was in one of the cinderblocks!

The girls in the field!


This is what it looked like after we moved the eggs boxes.  We moved the nesting boxes so the chickens wouldn't roost on the tops of them; so far it has been workin'!
We are startin' to sell the eggs now! If y'all look on the price page it is updated again, we just changed a couple things!!  We are going to bring a cooler to our church in our big white van each week and also there is a change box in the cooler so you can make change yourself.

This was the old eggs price sheet....
And this is the new one! (Which will be inside of the change box.)
This is the eggs we brought with us on Sunday!
Our family finally got what we have been looking for a year!
A.........
Cow!  We got her yesterday!  I hope she keeps the chickens company!
Till next time, God Bless!

Update

Well this week we were at Nags Head, North Carolina so we couldn't post but we had a fun time!  We had a friend watch over all the animals for us and while he was gatherin' the eggs he saw a black snake.  Caleb had seen one before but no one else saw it,  and we think that is why we are not gettin' as much eggs then we should so we're hoping to catch it soon!  We have had two of the older Golden Comets broodin' for a couple of weeks so the eggs are gettin' close to hatching!  We also got our first blue eggs while we were at the beach!
We hope to get some more pictures and eggs!
Till next time, God Bless!
