QA Good to see you last night and hoping Mt. Hope is going well for you guys!. Long night at Rogers last night. Wound up with some turkey eggs:love There is an asst. batch and then a set of some kind of penciled. I got them for a steal and can't wait to get them in the incubator. DH has some...

Just got done helping a couple of friends tattoo their goats. Now my hands are covered in green ink:barnie DH has been outside working in the yard all day since the sun decided to peek out. I hope it stay out long enough to at least get the garden tilled. That would be really nice. A long shot...

Thanks for the welcome back and the new welcome. I like the growing number of people in Eastern Ohio. Kinda makes me feel connected. Hoping the rain does stop on Fri. I have to work at Rogers and really hate doing that in the rain. I live in Stark County by the way. Got your PM QA and sent a reply.

Wow! what a big garden. Reminds me of Mom and Dad's garden growing up. They were feeding up to 14 people at one time so it had to be large. Ours runs about 50'x50' or so. You've planted a lot already. Makes me wish we could get into our garden.

Hope you feel better soon. I hate having a dirty house with time and no energy.

Been a long time since I've been on had some computer problems and then got caught up in life. We had all but 2 goats freshen this year with a total baby count of 8. The last set was born Monday afternoon and are a lamancha/nubian cross. The will be going to Roger's market this week, as I just...

Apples sound so good right now. I really need to go to the orchard and get some. We are completely out of all apple products. I know what you mean about not having anywhere to put canned goods. We have them lined up along the table right now. I feel like I've canned so much and still not sure if...

Just found out yesterday that the neighbor will be moving next year. Now we're kind of in a pinch. He was letting us use extra yard for grazing area for our calves and they have been nice enough for the past couple of year to let the free range chicks walk through their yard. All they ask in...

I don't know if its a legitimate option for you, but a girl I work with had her child support taken out of his income taxes. As long as he has an income coming in he has to file taxes and if the child support office know they could have it taken out of his taxes. You should be able to get back...

OFG; I love saying dilly beans too:D It confuses people too some of them think you are saying silly beans. lol. Six milkers actually runs about average for us. It means a milk calf in the spring and a friends hogs may have milk. Maybe she'll trade for meat.

Well back from fair. DD's polish chickens did fairly well. Our Rosecomb RIR all did well and one got taken out for best large female. No go though. boo:( Been canning since we got back. I've put up 8 qts of dilly beans, plus like 20qts of frozen beans. We're working on a double batch of...

Actually no it is our local county fair. We show chickens and goats. We got to 2 other fairs after this with the chickens so still awhile to go. :)

Busy week ahead. We move into fair on Sunday night and fair starts on Tuesday. We got the campers out there today. And lucky for me I got some canning done in the middle of all that. Still working on it now, but I'm nearly done. Looks like a 10pm bed time for me tonight. Todays tally is 11...

I got about the same stares the year I got a pressure canner and canning jars for christmas. Some people just didn't get how I could be so excited by such things, but at least DH gets it and he got that stuff for me.

Keep and eye on the seals. I almost never remember to take all of the air bubble out and have never had a problem. We leave ours out of the pantry for a day or two though just to double check the seals. If any of them pop. We'll put them in the fridge and use them up or wait for another batch...

So glad you were there for your neighbor. Like you we are normally the neighbors who get called in those situations. Not that I could do that to one of my own goatie babies, but DH has done it once or twice. Enjoy your peach pie. I can taste it even though we haven't gotten peaches this year...

We sell the spring muscovy babies and then let one hen keep her young-uns in the fall to make replacements for the old stock. We only try to keep about 5 or so hens. Decided which ones to get rid of now. Kind of interesting chasing them around and trying to remember who is who. On an up note...

Becca think a friend of mine picked up your ducks at the auction. Did you happen to bring the hookbills down? He called and said he had some hookbills and needed me to come out and help sex them. LOL. Told him they were probably all males after I saw your post.

Well we got to take a trip to Eagles Nest Hatchery. What an awesome guy. He walked us around and showed us the setup. Where they work and hatch and such. It is truly amazing how many eggs their incubators will hold. Not to mention their hatchers. We also got to see where he's growing out next...

Our first house for our goats was a yard shed. Not the best arrangement and certainly not easy to get them up to the garage to milk, but it worked. It still sits out there and the girls will use it in the summer to just cool off in if they don't want to go in the barn. Goats need a nice draft...
