The first batch of meat chicks came in the mail form Iowa on Wednesday. They look really good and are now settled in the nursery. We raise enough chickens in the summer and spring for the whole year. We will put them in the chicken tractor in a few weeks so they can eat bugs,scratch around and be chickens. I love that we have the ability to raise almost all the meat we eat. I got a great book on smoking and sausage making for my birthday. I am planning on curing the hams and bacon form the piggies. I am also getting a awesome smoker. I can't wait! I have not made much sausage and such, but am anxious to learn. I found a Amish man that does great hams I am hoping to pick his brain and get some pointers.
