The Great Chicken Adventure: Day 14

Today marks one week from my eggs (hopefully) hatching! Ive still got a bit of shopping to do before Im ready - but I have most of what I think I need. Nothing has changed in the incubator, so as far as I can see; so far so good. Lots of exciting things will be happening this week along with my chickens hatching. The weather seems to be on the upward turn, the temperature is significantly warmer than last week, and I think the sap will run good. We have about 15 buckets up, but so far we only have 3 trees dripping - from the south side. They say the south side runs first but the north side runs longer. This week will involve a lot more tapping and if we have enough sap it may mean boiling a day this week. Ill do a post on maple syrupping later this week. And tomorrow Im cooking rabbit for supper, a first for me. This is the "determiner" on whether or not we'll be getting a couple of meat rabbits over the summer. If it goes well and cooks up nicely, youll hear about it, haha.
