Plant starts for the 2025 garden

Here are the baby plants under my "cat protectors". Everything is coming along well. Tomatoes just got planted last week, so they are not germinated yet.

Here are my incubators, just started with 48 chicken eggs.

Today I started two incubators with chicken eggs. The expected hatch date will be April 14, 2025. Last year this worked really well, so I am hoping I have similar success this year. The turkeys have not started laying eggs yet. Hopefully they will soon, and in three weeks when the incubators are empty again, I hope to put in some turkey eggs.

Baby Matthew

Our newest addition to the goat barn arrived sometime overnight. By morning he was dry and his tummy was full and he was on his feet. His mother is Maggie, our second first freshener. Maggie is doing well and has a nice udder and is giving plenty of milk for her big boy who weighed in at 9 lbs!

We were hoping for more doe babies this year. We still have three goats left to kid. All are experienced goats who have kidded before. One has never had a girl. Maybe this year she will surprise us, we will see!
