going on around here. The weather has been dreadful and cold. It's supposed to start warming back up today. I'm ready! I hope it's the last morning I have to thaw out all the critters waterers and I'm ready for the sun! I need some vitamin D!!!
I will be shuffling chickens tomorrow. The teenage babies will move to the chicken tractor, after about a week they will get some supervised free range time with the flock. The five babies in the house will move to the big brooder in the shop until they feather out more and then will be introduced to the flock.. I am going to do some baby chick proofing in the little coop. No more eggs have hatched but with the full moon tomorrow you never know :)
No news on the goat. Supervised breeding will happen next year so I won't be guessing on a due date. She is in the very late stage of pregnancy but I have no idea when she will kid. I would have bet money on it happening before now and would have lost. Hoping the moon makes magic happen in that regard also. I'm getting weary.
Have a great week ya'll!
Supervised breeding, you may take all the fun out of it for them.
ReplyDeleteI am in town to get some onion sets to plant as soon as I can get in to the garden. The snow is melting so maybe a couple days as they will go in the raised beds.
I know I'm a killjoy with the breeding situation, but not having a due date is HORRIBLE!
DeleteWell I hope all the snow melts and you can get to gardening. I planted lettuce, onions, potatoes, and carrots last weekend. I'm ready for some fresh homegrown tomatoes ☺
I hear you about warming up!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful here this afternoon and were not to far from you just couple of hours. It's 57 degrees right now.
I'm hoping to remove the straw from my garden beds now and till a little.
It's 40 degrees right now! Still too cold for me but the sun is shining! Enjoy your gardening today ☺
DeleteSandy...you are warmer than my area of Florida. Kelly... I am only 10 degrees warmer than you. Our birdbaths were frozen this morning and we have a freeze warning for tonight.
DeleteI am waiting patiently for warm weather.
ReplyDeleteOur weather has been like a roller coaster. It's been cold, windy, and rain is coming but warm next week. I want to garden! Love your chick updates.
ReplyDeleteStill waiting on goat babies for you! I know the frustration of not having a date...I'm not sure when my Alpines were bred but I expect Scilla to go in the next 2 weeks. She's getting a very pretty little udder! It's so much handier having a due date. I'm going to make sure that I supervise "dates" with our buck next year.
