water

This place runs on water, it grows the grass and gives the animals (and us) something to drink.  I also hoses off the deck when the turkeys roost on it overnight.....

The chicks are getting bigger, and the cornish crosses are twice as big as the laying hens.  I worry about their hearts and legs keeping up with the growth rate but that is what I bought them for.

The bunnies are doing great.  They are eating pellets and grass and are learning to drink from the waterer.  I will probably ween them off their mom soon.

And it is thanks to water that a lot of this happens.  Last week Dad installed the line for the rain barrel and in the two nights of rain we had over the weekend it filled up.
