Healthy soil and sustainable growing

We got 25 Buff Orpingtons from Ridgeway this year. They are just beginning 
to get their feathers through the chickie fluff. Meanwhile our assortment of 
free-range birds have finally found the remodeled chicken house, and have 
begun laying eggs in it. One still insists on laying in the goat hay feeder 
in the barn, however, and the baby goats insist upon walking on the eggs 
before we get to them...

Oh, my husband was a hippie. I don't know what you're talking about with 
suits. I don't think he owns one. He does have a cowboy hat though...and an 
old sytar someone gave him in California years ago that doesn't work any 
more, but it looks cool. Several days ago, he found a new arrowhead behind 
his cow barn. It is a small one made with a small twist to it, to help it 
spin. We are near the Ohio River, and he has quite a collection. But 
speaking of hippies...I think Derek has mistaken yuppies for hippies...not 
the same people. And the yippies - what were they again? My husband keeps 
telling me...
