Hello to all,
Dropped my 3 racks yesterday and have 2 young remaining in Lower 6 gourd of Rack 2. 263 birds have fledged from my 72 gourds. My next check should wind up my 2025 season and my 8th year as a "landlord." Am now planning the renovation of my 3, 24-gourd racks. Should keep me busy during the "off season." And lastly a shout out to my Louisiana landlord friends - Geaux Tigers! How 'bout dem National Champ Baseballers. Mike
