    God sure did know what he was doing when he created everything, and he knew how to make everything on earth and human to connect and sync with each other. I bet he just sets on his throne and him and Jesus just smiles at what they created. God bless ur family. Remember keep Jesus 1st and all things will work out for the good.

    The chicks, ducks, hens and turkeys all looked healthy and well cared for..I liked they had room to roam around on , and grass to eat .. I especially like the layers are cage free.. they have a very nice setup there.. it would be pretty neat to see it in person..thanks for taking us along on your venture there..

I know you hurt your back doing that. Be careful in the future as you don't want to injure it permanently. Let the guys move the heavy items.

That Tractor was hugely hugest, lol. My goodness the noise level is incredible with the fine feathered ones. Ear plugs.... The property is vast and beautiful. You guys looked so refreshed. Thank you Fit Framer for the great questions we certainly needed answers to and for getting right in there and showing us how to get it done. Great piece!

    The love a mixed flock of poultry. Layers & dual purpose come in so many colors! Ducks probably the most fun tho. Khaki Campbells lay as good as a chicken. I also enjoyed my geese!
    Mine so well trained, if I said "momma momma" they would surround me for loving, if I didnt, I could garden left alone. Poultry acted better behaved than pigs & goats. Your family is blessed & a blessing to me. I stay in tune with the critters
