Well once agin the weekend was too short. I had too much to do and didn't get it all done. So now I get to work on stuff when I get home for work. The plan was to build 3 coops and move the chickens into them this weekend. Well we got all the plywoord cut and started on the painting and framing, so it is really only a couple of hours and I will have them ready to take out to the chicken yard. I have two weeks to get this done, because the week of the 24th I have a chick order comming in. half of them are mine the other half I will raise until they can go in with the big girls and then they will go to a friends house. I am getting EE's and Barred Rocks I can't wait until they get here.

Also while this is all going on I will have to clean out the current coop and set it up as a milking/kidding barn because my Rosie is due in about 5 weeks, and Jazzy may not be far behind. I'm not sure if she is breed or not. She is not showing any signs, but she has been in with the buck and is building a little more of an udder. But she was building an udder before the boys even got here so

I am also still trying to find homes for a kitten and 2 or 3 cats. Everyone keeps telling me to put them on KSL (local version of craigslist) but I'm not sure that is the best way to go. Because I want to make sure that all the cats have good homes. I may just wait and if I can't find them homes by the end of the summer contacting Best Friends and seeing if they will take them. Because I know they will find them the right home.

On the grandma fromt. There is no set move in date other than the next 2 to 4 weeks. So I have a little time to adjust to the change. I may just set me up a "shelter" in the goat yard so that I have a place to get away from it all. I know that my Capoine will like that He will think it is his place to chew on me silly goat.

With everything that is running through my head I could ramble on for a long time yet, but I think that I will go read other jornals.

It's been a while so I thought that I just might post somthing today. It has been busy the last couple of weeks. I have finished two coops and a brooder. Now I need to lock all the chickens out of the old coop and hope that they will move to the new ones. I have an order of 27 chicks coming this week, hence the brooder, which will be a coop after I rasie up this batch and the batch of meat birds that are comming in september. I have found someone here in town who will process the chickens for $5 a peice so that I don't have to. I can do it but just don't have the time or the set up to do more that 6 or so at a time. I ordered 50 so I will take them to her for processing.

Next week all five kitties will go to the clinic to get fixed. I got lucky and Best Friends clinic in Orem is running a special that it is free to fix cats this summer, so they are all going down. Then they get 10 days inside then all the big grils are going to the barn, and I will keep looking for homes for them and the little ones. The little ones will get to stay inside until they are closer to 6 months then they will join the ladies outside I can't wait until I can move around the cat area with out being attacked, climbed on, or being asked to be loved.

On the goat front, Beau is a beautiful as ever and I can't wait to show him next year, our State/County fair doesn't have shows for the boys Apollo is filling out nicley, and Capoine is will a snot. He got out of his yard the other day and up on the bales of hay that where wating to be moved out to the south yard. Well as I was trying to move him he decided that my hat was fun to chew on, take off ect. Mom did get pics but I haven't seen them yet. I need to send the pics to Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs, because the goat was trying to eat my deadliest catch hat.

Oh I almost forgot the girls, well Queen Beatrice has finally decided that the millkstand is good and so now all I have to do is sit down and set my stuff out and she hops up and is ready to go. LIttle Caroline is growing so fast, and is the cutest she loves to cuddle. I think that Jazzy has settled I will keep watching her to see and will keep you all posted. Rosie is only about 7 to 10 days way from kidding her girly parts are getting puffy and her ligs are playing hide and seek. They will be there then gone. Her due date is the 15th of August but I don't think she will make it what long. How early is too early?

Well I think that is all but I am sure that I left something out. Now back to the rest of the journals

I'd like to post a smilie taking a big drink of an "adult beverage" - but, alas, I don't see and I also don't see one lounging in a hammock under a shade tree taking a nap - which, as busy as it sounds like you have been you need a nice drink (even if it's just a cool refreshing coca-cola) and a vacation on the new computer on having to recreate all your files.
