The other day whilst I was mowing, I noticed a bazillion little bugs jumping around in the hay. Oh no! The grasshoppers are back! How shall we deal with all of them? Now that we have the sod, water, pollination and such going well, we surely don't want to get wiped out by those green hoppin' things. I sighed to God and asked Him what can we do and I thought of chickens. Then the next few thoughts involved the purchasing, receiving, keeping warm and fed until they are big enough to be outside stages. Then a day or so later, I noticed an ad at YooperYardSale.net for someone giving away roosters! Wow. What an answer! These dudes are about 2 months old and already love eating bugs (they even ate them off our daughter's shoe!) and are trained to go "in" for the night. Thanks to a nice lady in Rock, we now have 14 roosters at the farm to eat the grasshoppers and other unwanted buggies! And since there are no "girls" around, they seem to get along just fine. Thanks God for answered prayers!
Hubby says that my question regarding our hummingbird buddy was answered yesterday. They saw he had a friend so maybe we'll have babies around soon!
