I have been so busy I had been letting DD do the brooder coop and she found one sick one in there. The others are perfectly fine, but I am treating them anyway, just in case. I can't imagine letting that go!!! 
He is a tight wad. But I told him you just wait. Im making mom wash my shoes that I wore there, I aint bringing that crap home. Do you know of a way to make a hen broody?Wannabefree said:my bad.

Patience is not a trait shared in my family. But Im gonna do one tommrow and set her in my other house with a nest she has sat for a day before.....Wannabefree said:you could try..maybe cage her with a clutch of eggs and see if she'll take to them. That's just one of those things the hen has to be in the mood to do though as far as I have ever seen. If a hen growls at you while on the nest, that'd be the one to try it with. I guess it's worth a shot. They'll be more likely to go broody in the Spring though if you'll just be patient
I, my friends, was a class-A slacker today...BarredBuff said:

I had a wonderful day! Sold a dozen hatching eggs and got rid of a rooster. FOUND a buck for a good price! I got the backyard cleaned up and coop bedding stirred and actually enjoyed some NICE weather! 73 degrees today!! It was beautiful!
The buckling is about 3 months old and he sure is a pretty boy! He is not registered, which is perfect, because that makes the price rightHe should be delivered tomorrow or the next day. Spud will be put on CL the end of next week to find a new home. He'll be 6 weeks old then.
I found all my shovels rakes and pitchfork and put them up...DH leaves everything out
The chickens are laying well again...the goats had them off for a couple days but they were back up to normal today. A couple of them took several days off. Any little change......
Anyway I have another dozen hatching eggs to ship Monday. Glad my girls are making a bit of money again
Speaking of....I sure hope my turkeys do better this year! The ducks still aren't laying, but it is close to time for them to start. Maybe I can slip some turkey eggs under them
When Spud gets sold I am going to start milking too.
Garden plan is coming along (Jamie!) and I hope to finalize everything by the end of next week. I am starting some onions, broccoli, and carrots in the next couple days. Oh....and potatoes, I almost forgot those
That's my day on the farm...lotsa plans, some actions taking place, and I might have half of it figured out
I guess if the guy wants her he can get her for that price and I can get a different doe...just happened so fast. Kind of strange how things work sometimes....
WHY???Wannabefree said:I may have just sold my doe....for more than I gave for her from the posting of my buckling for sale. Sorry Claire
A step in the right direction if ya ask me PLUS I can retain her daughter for the future of the herd as well. Free goat sounds mighty good to me....IF I can pull it off
