The Pollock's Chicken Hatchery

Liv decided to experiement with this "rigged" incubator.

She finally got the temperature just right.

Now, in 21 days, if all goes well, we should have some chicks.

21 days later....

things are really happening....

and the experiment worked.

Isn't the Lord so good to us. He even cares about the little things.

Black Star chicks.

The blacks are hens and yellows are .......(can you guess)?

Awwwww

The end to a good day.

A Special Delivery

What's in the Box??

They just love the chicken tajmahal, that keeps growing and growing and growing.
Sugar for the water. SWEET
"Hey, what's that bright light ya keep flashin at us?" (peep, peep)

Work/ Music/ Birthdays


It's time to build onto the barn....

It sure makes it nice with this machine.

Some things still have to be done the old fashioned way.
First part is done.

Now we have to wait for the sawmill to continue with the rest.

Now onto some fun.....

We enjoyed meeting the Wissmann Family and seeing them in concert.

What a precious family!!

Liv, trying to be sophisticated :)

We can see right through that, girl!!!

Stopping for ice cream at McDonalds. (Good ole junk food)


Now it's time for another PARTY. Did somebody say party?

A party just aint a party, unless you have a fire of some kind.

How bout this?

Whoa, it's a little steamy around here!!

This is the life.

Stay tuned for more...
