Merit Badge Awardees (click for latest awards)
My featured Merit Badge Awardee of the Week is … Denise Thompson!!!
Denise Thompson (levisgrammy, #43) has received a certificate of achievement in Garden Gate for earning a Beginner Level Backyard Farmer Merit Badge!
“We started our own flock originally by purchasing chicks from a hatchery. We had Black Austrolorps to start and used their eggs to hatch a flock using an incubator given us by my father.
The present flock are Black Sex Link and they were purchased from a hatchery. They enjoy free-ranging as much as possible and are fed organic feed. We enjoy about 6-7 big brown eggs every day this time of year.
We will be enlarging the flock this Spring.”
Yay for Denise!! I love your flock of girls and how fantastic you get so many fresh eggs daily. Please post some photos later this Spring when the baby chicks arrive.
Congratulations Denise on receiving your Beginner Level Backyard Farmer Merit Badge! Your flock looks fabulous. Enjoy your soon to be enlarged flock and the many eggs they give you!
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much MaryJane. What a wonderful surprise.
