Frustratedearthmother's Journaling Journey

[Medicine Woman]

DH was working on a new brooder he said for quails but he said he would use it for chicks until he gets the quail. He was doing that while I was trying to prepare the front porch for trick or treat. I hope he is almost done cuz they really stink.

Up well before the sun today. Lounging around with my 2nd cup of coffee in hand. Have to run a couple errands later this morning - boo!

Finally finished the chicken run so that the birds in the new coop can get out and do chicken things in the sunshine. Also threw together a smaller coop and run a couple days ago. Have all the chickens penned right now except one extra roo. The girls have finished their molt and I'm waiting anxiously for production to ramp up. With 10 hens (8 laying age) and getting less than a dozen eggs a week is no bueno! Have 20 silkie eggs in the incubator and all appear to be fertile. Eight of them are shipped eggs so that they do well. Guess my next project(s) is for more chicken tractors for the silkies. WooHoo! I kinda like building things, silly me!

DH fell outside a couple days ago. Grass is soft so no major injuries. He's sore, but it could be worse. Sigh...

Piggies are growing like pigs! Goat bellies are growing and there's udder development happening. Should be at least 6+ weeks before any babies make their appearance. CDT boosters to mama goats on the agenda soon. Couple of the gals need a copper bolus too. Always something!
