Farm maintenance


I've worked on several of the drawers during the past two days.  I cleaned the two drawers of mature worms and harvested some.  I've had some baby/injured birds to feed and am still putting some worms outside for the wrens that I've released.  I've got a pretty wide gap between the mature worms (some of which are turning into pupae) and the next drawer, in which the worms are pretty small.  I need to reduce the gap between worm sizes, which I should be able to accomplish by sifting out the eggs more frequently.

I'm posting a picture of two beetles, who look like they're making babies!  I saw these while I was picking out another batch of dead beetles.
