Winter again
Here is Arnold, Cleo’s big kid. This was taken just a couple of hours after he was born! He’s a chunk. All the kids are doing fine now. They aren’t liking the weather we are having right now. It’s been snowing all day, and the wind has been blowing. The snow is sticking a bit, but not really accumulating a whole bunch. Hope it stays that way tonight, too. Rain would be okay. I’m really tired of it snowing. It warms up, one thinks for good, then we get cold and snow/rain. It’s hard on the goats. Some of them are starting to get a cold. I’ll be giving them some of the garlic/vit. c mix. That will cure them of whatever ails them. Works every time.
I had a busy week-end! People here every day. Friday some came for compost and visiting, Saturday, people came for compost and a visit, and Sunday a farm tour. That was fun seeing everyone. Even made some money, which is always good!
The hen that was sitting on the chicken eggs got off the nest on Monday and didn’t get back on. So that nest is dead. There were 21 eggs in it! I didn’t break open any, but shook them a bit. There were 3 that had dead chicks in them, and the others either sounded solid, or liquid, so I don’t know why they didn’t hatch. Now I’m waiting to see what happens with the turkeys. I have people wanting to buy some of those babies, so I hope they hatch. We shall see. They should be hatching any day now. The suspense is killing me! ☺ There is another hen sitting on a nest up on the hill. I don’t know how many eggs she’s on. I guess we will see in about 20 days or so. Somewhere around May 22nd I think.
Well, that’s all for now. More as it happens….
