B&B Happy Goats....journal

[Bruce]

The goats are looking cute!!

Had a talk with neighbor, i am selling the kids...they are on Cl for sale.
Have picked out two doe's to keep from the eight kids born, the rest we are selling....

but it needs to be small or it would have to go out on back porch...and i don't want it there !

It is a very nice screened porch, maybe you could hide it with classy decoration. However, as you point out, the electricity to keep it cold would break the bank.

Hmmm, somehow I missed the incubator and chicks in the bathtub.

What kind of legumes ya planning on planting?

When I had a large rabbitry, I had a chicken coop attached to it. It was a great arrangement. The chickens were safe from predators, being in an enclosed barn, they scratched up the rabbit poop, eating fly larve, dropped feed and kept everything smell free. The only drawback was the rabbits would get ear mites from the chickens, but a monthly eye dropper of mineral oil took care of that before it got started. If I were to have rabbits again, I would definitely include chickens with them again. But, DH doesn't like rabbit meat.

Have ya given any thought of other seed to go with it?....it is not like a grass....it is more of a plant....the extension service in your county can steer ya in the right direction....they are "tied" to the Univ Fla.....I'm not familiar with mixtures here, as of yet.....but, wanted ya to think about it....no need to waste $$ on something that won't grow well...or had ya gotten the right "variety", all would be well.....just sayin.....

Uh-oH!!...............I was planning on some research, so guess I have a "reason" to get started...

Just love the pictures and the BYH community meeting up with each other.
It really is special to see so much care for one another from people that would never have met otherwise.
Our critters seem to open the doors for such great friendships all over the country.

And around the world, I might add. We may not be able to meet in person, because of all the miles between us (across the seas), but we have some amazing members across the pond, as well - @Sheepshape and @Sumi come to mind.

But, DH doesn't like rabbit meat.

Tell him it is chicken, specially seasoned.

Suck it up and buy a big one. You'll be glad you did. My washer/dryer are stacked to make space for my freezer. Then I got another one and we put it on the porch in a nook that I was going to put my commercial sewing machine in.....sigh.....oh well.

The porch freezer.

Looks good Bay!

We have two upright freezers and have been using plastic boxes to organize our freezers for years. Here is our meat storage

You can't let someone else's mental issues become your own.....

True words! Sorry you're dealing with this - stepping away sounds like the best solution.
