Belgian Nightcrawlers

We have had our Belgian's on sale for awhile and we've run out of worms to sell. We've got to keep the rest of what we have to replenish our stock over the winter. We have plenty of Red Wigglers though.

Chickens and Green Beans

I can't get my green beans to grow :( My chickens keep getting in the garden boxes and they like the green bean leaves. Oh well, tomatoes, lettuce, radishes, carrots and onions are doing well.

Grasshoppers are crazy horrible this year, although the chickens do love them! It's so funny to watch the girls (that's what we call our flock of 7 hens) chase the grasshoppers. There is one chicken that gets upset when another hen gets a grasshopper, she tries to take it away.

We are getting eggs almost every day from at least three of them. They lay little ones and big ones. The big ones have all been doubled yolked so far. I'm sure it will all even out eventually. It's pretty funny looking in the egg cartons.
