Chicks



Well we decided it was time to get some new hens as the ones who are left are getting old now. We were ordering with friends so neither had to buy 25. well long story short all was well till the wife got to looking and ordered 25 Bantums who came in a mixed set (just hope they are not all boys). So with the ones I ordered we got 38 of the little puff balls.

Busy Busy

Been fairly busy of late and not keeping up here. Couple of weeks ago we got the daughter her first lamb she is a registered Shetland about 3 months old and still tiny. The goat boys continue to grow both in size and silliness. Ramses on a regular basis keeps sticking his head through the fence which is great until he trys to pull it back and his horns won't let him.
My current unplanned project has been fixing the wiring in the shop (scary stuff). came home from school 3 weeks ago and our power pole was laying on the ground. Got that fixed with a new pole and all that goes on the pole for around $3500. When the state inspector came out he went and peeked in the shop and left me a list of corrections to make. As I have been making those I keep finding other scary things I just cannot let go. I am fairly suprised the shop never burned down due to an electrical fire.
Hopefully I can keep up here on the blog as the summer goes on.
