The past week has been really productive. put up the electric fence for the goats made a milk stand and hay feeder, took care of DH who is not doing so hot right now, had a relapse with his disability. :hit QM has been a huge help I hope she realizes just how much she is appreciated. now we are working to get the buck pen done so we can get there hayfeeder done then we will be all done with the animals and can start planning the garden and flower beds and such. I hope we will have the tractor here by then :fl
Oh I went to the local feed store and priced some goat feed and saw a drench gun ask how much and bought it for 3.00 it is worth over a 100 I love deals like that. :celebrate

Keep your syringe casings.

They come in handy sometimes. Ive used them for funnels, and um, even a drainage tube once when I was in a serious pinch.

Wow, what a great idea! I never thought of using them as a funnel.

You all should see the drench gun Autumnprairie got. IT is really nice. Solid metal with really nice stainless steel works. It is clearly a very good high quality piece of equipment. She got it for 3 bucks because the packaging was dirty and dusty. It has extra gaskets and a nice long hose as well as a wide bore so that it will work with viscous liquids. The feed store where she bought it is run by a couple of really nice folks who seem to bend over backwards to help out. Just the kind of people you want to deal with.

She got some chicks today. They are CUTE! all fluffy and yellow.

We had a good time making the hay feeder. The girls are liking it. Especially the mini's. They needed something a little shorter for their little legs. It's easy to work with Autumnprairie. Women are easy to work with. Sometimes men get all egocentric and won't correct an error. They have to MAKE it work even when it clearly won't. If you make a mistake, women don't get all bent out of shape. You just do it over.

I hope everyone is doing ok? It has been a bit since I wrote in my journal. I have 6, 1 week old , Buff Orpingtons. I have an incubator on ebay that I have bid on. I hope I get it.
Here is what it looks like what do you think?

On the goat front the goats are doing well. Molly my LGD pup has been doing a great job. She has been keeping track of her goats making sure they are safe and out of harms way. I have something coming up to the fence and she is keeping it at bay and my fence is also working well too. :celebrate

Annie is the next in line to have her kids she is an agouti ND and is getting wider everyday. I will try to get pictures tomorrow of her and the kids who are bouncing off trees literally.

QM and I need to get the buck pen done so I can move the goats around a bit. I want to give the mommas and kids a bigger nursery but still separate from general population.
