*Pokes cherio with stick*
So...you are alive!
glad to see you around
im sooo excited about the goaties...i realy thought it would be net spring before i coudl even consider this...
the bad news is realy their mum and dads goats...
the good news is they wont be relocating for awhile (hopefully not too long though lol) and im hoping by the time they get sorted and such these girlls will be bred, mum kinda wants little goats (cute factor) so im planing on selling the kids and when they get all sorted ill buy her a couple of nigerian does so she can have the "tiny goat baby" experience. the goats woudl be more like pets than milkers for her anyway.
i might have found somene that will disbud these 2 girls for me too...
im told 4 weeks is pretty much right on the back end of doable for nubi does, so if i can get them home and done before the end of the weekend we shoudl be ok, they have itsy btsy nubs right now...more than a bud but not big enough to be a "horn" so ive got to talk to this guy an see if hes willing...im told it can be done up to 1" worth of growth...but need to talk to this guy first and see if hed be willing. id rather them be disbudded, but if there too big now its no great shakes, theyll be taught from day one, use the horns and ill kick your tushy.
in other news, got an interesting thunderstom come right on through and turn the place soggy again.
rabbit nails will wait untill tomorrow...
and when i checked on bluebell this afternoon, it looks like she MIGHT be starting to think about nesting...she made a little hollow in her pile of hay, no fur or anythign in it, but definatly nest shaped lol *fingers crossed*
i did email the lady ill be buying an opal buck from in April and asked her if she had any opal, blue or blue otter does also...we'll see what she comes back with. ive got 2 standard rex holes leftin my rabbitry so if i could get another young but mature doe and a young but mature buck that should have me set
gonna hold off on my hollands this year (can use the 3 small holes for raising kits for now), the mini rex wont be ready to breed untill summer so i think adding 3 more bunnes right now is a little silly. once the standards start producing a little ore reliably and i can set some cash asside, then i can start that project.
the duckies have been with me a week today, there growing like weeds (and go through water like weeds too lol) but there sooo cute, there starting to develop that funny runner duck upright stance now too...and it always makes me giggle when they panic...i mean thier first instinct is for everyone to pile into the nearest corner and close thier eyes...you know cause THATS gonna save you LOL!
right now there "the puddle ducks" as they develop personalites theyll get first names too, but right now "the puddle ducks" work
just looked at the clock and its after 5 already...the days are kinda flying right now.
need to do some reaserch into how to make carpenter bees go away...(id realy they rather NOT eat my car port) the funny one that was folowing me aorund the other day aparently told his buddies cause there were 8 of them buzzing round my carport before the storm came through...i dont want to kill them because carpenter bees are good polinators and dumb as rocks...but id rather they not gnaw holes in my house!
