Bruce's Journal

Me? Nope, never laid an egg in my life!!! But Eos is. She started on Jan 10th with a 60g followed by:
1/12 - 68
1/14 - 70
1/15 - 68
1/17 - 70

For your viewing pleasure, here are 2 pictures of DD1's nutball cat that I JUST took. I was going to take a picture of him in his "seal" position with one leg back like a flipper but he moved. But he got into another cute postion and as soon as I took that he changed position again:

Looks like he is "Dreaming" of being Super Catman...and he is Flying...
Seems Eos is giving ya some sizeable eggs there.

He just needs a cape!!! Of course I suspect the loss of flesh and blood trying to get one on him would be similar to what would happen if you tried to scratch his belly.

Two eggs today, first time since 11/26. Yuki (1.5 Y/O White Rock, she also laid yesterday) and Eos (1.5 Y/O EE) today. Persephone (4.5 Y/O EE that has NEVER laid in winter past her pullet year) laid Wednesday.

Today I put the double acting hinges on the alpacas' door to the outside world. Not only were they not impressed, they are afraid of the mostly closed door. They need to learn they can push on it and it will move because I have no dog to keep the coons, foxes and woodchucks from just meandering in that door.

You'll have to get a pocket of Treats and teach them, a few times going thru and they'll get the hang of it. That's great to hear on the chicken "Front" could be a "Sign" of things to come.

I need to find out what these boys think of as treats. I know they love their alpaca pellets but alpacas are SUPPOSED to love apples and carrots. Um, nope. Eat right around them and leave them in the bin.

Just gotta keep trying to find one, there is something that they will get "Excited" for. All animals have something they Love, tho be careful cause when ya introduce it, there's no going Back. They'll be searching for it.
