Lee Drennen’s Hobby Farm & Garden

[Lee Drennen]

Jim. Thanks I usually give the Roosters away.That’s neat your Daughter works at a Zoo she’s probably good at what she does. Yes there’s so much bitterness in this world life could be so much worse. People don’t have respect for human life anymore and so full of self. I’m hoping one day soon I can get back to building Millitary Models but that’s not my priority now.

The chicken run a about the same size as my garden

Looks nice with the dusting of snow. Have often considered having chickens but the couple next door have them so we get fresh eggs with out the 'hassle'.
Young roosters are a good eat. A bit of a specialty over here.

Glad to hear you're feeling better Lee, you certainly have a lot to be thankful for & you appreciate it too, seeing new life into the world is something special.

More Hatching on the Hobby Farm. These Hatched out yesterday and during the night last night

Nice to see new life brought into this world if we can just keep it clean and safe...you know what I mean.:smiling3: ...for our future generations.

Cheers,
Richard

Nothing beats the sound of newborn chicks and livestock

Lovely stuff Lee. We’ve only got four ex batts but I find them endlessly fascinating. Just successfully treated our first case of sour crop.....had me worried for a while.

[Lee Drennen]

Richard. Thanks for stopping by

Gerry. No the isn’t a sound like it in the Spring time

Tim. Thanks for the complement and hope all goes well

Hi Lee
Hope you're doing ok.
Aren't many young creatures cute. Chicks, puppies, kittens, piglets - the list goes on and on. Not always the case though, my daughter has hand reared a few parrot chicks in her job and early on they are most definitely not cute.
Jim
Great to see new life.

Me, I've a soft spot for foals, kids, lambs & calves - nothing quite beats the 'high' of seeing one get up on wobbly legs & get their first suckle (even if it's at 2.30 in the morning & you've just got an overcoat & wellies on - never noticed the cold until afterwards!)

[Lee Drennen]

Jim, Gerry. Yes I’ve seen young Calf’s and Goats born it’s just unreal. I wish I could find some Goats cheap then my little farm will be complete again. With my health I’m afraid to raise Cattle again you need to get out of the way quick sometimes I I can’t. 2 more baby chicks were born yesterday evening. I’ll post them later. Thank you guys for stopping by.

Think that today I'm going to be helping my eldest son out with his inspection - only 7 hives of honeybees - to see how well they've got through Winter (he did ask nicely!)

[Mini Me]

I really am glad to hear that people still keep Bees.......One of the most interesting insects on the planet, and as far as I know the only insects that produce a consumer commodity. :thumb2: Rick H

I’m with Rick. Not much of Bee Keepers anymore nothing like fresh Honey just like fresh Eggs and Milk.
