Sheep are okay. We're down to 3 bottle lambs, out of 5. They're starting to gain and grow now. We usually breed yearlings, but I may move these in with the goats - away from the barn completely - during breeding season so they don't get bred accidentally. They're way, way too small.
My chickens have almost stopped laying altogether! between 20 hens, I'm getting 0 - 3 eggs per day. Maybe they're molting early. IDK. I'm happy for the break, honestly. Don't let me admit that to anyone else.
My mom came up and watched kids today. I was supposed to have a meeting but it was cancelled. So I took the childcare opportunity and took Bay to the nearest pet store and feed/farm store. She did surprisingly well for her level of exposure/training. If she can behave like that on her mobility harness (rather than microprong collar), I will be happy! She's never been trained to heel, so I was super happy with her. She's cautiously observant of novel noises in stores, but I think she's going to settle in really fast.
She's already bracing, helping me get up from the floor, and starting to elevate my legs. She's not shy of my wheelchair at all! Woot!
I intend to train her to help pull my wheelchair. I have a hard time on inclines and uneven surfaces because I'm a part-time wheelchair user and not nearly as strong or skilled as a full-time wheelchair user. DS11 will be happy when he doesn't have to push me.
My goal is that she is fully trained to legal and industry standards within 6 months. I have arranged twice-weekly training sessions, and I'll be training a lot at home. Taking it slow now while she settles in here.
