Happy Friday! This afternoon we will be preparing for our set-up at Bates Farm, Home and Garden Inc. tomorrow May 9, 10am-2pm in Enosburg VT.
It is Mothers Day weekend and Bates has the plant nursery fully stocked, what a great opportunity to pick up gardening supplies and chicks at the same time!
We have a few hatchings to choose from and anticipate having jumbo Coturnix quail, Ring-neck pheasant, and an assortment of hatching eggs. We do have heritage poults and black Australorp grow-outs, but probably will do those as pick up from the hatchery only. They travel well, but at their age they are a bit rambunctious during the commute!
