Coffee anyone ?

DH is Gung ho to get started on the farm improvements.

Go while the fire is hot!

71 here, with some humidity but not bad out. 85 high they say. Last 3 days no rain but small chane of late day scattered showers and we got "scattered on" all 3 days I know I got some of someone else's share. I'm sorry and wish I could have gotten it to you! Wasn't bad though but, grass is out of control. Every strand is laughing at me & the mower.

Another long work day. OFF tomorrow Then back at it for 4 days. It's that paycheck thing.


Enjoy your day!

Coffee is on! It's cappuccinos today
Today is a busy day...I have 7 does kindling this month and I need to make 7 new nesting boxes. I made 2 yesterday, yay just 5 more to go! I don't think it could get any more humid outside...I went out this morning and my glasses completely fogged up and stayed that way so I had to do rabbit chores without them
Tonight i'll be back to making perfumes. I need a few more to sell at the market next weekend!

I hope everyone stays cool and has a wonderful day!

hey Bay I like the pig palace my husband and I were talking about it. even if we get the kunekune I probably end up with a similar set up. that way I don't have to worry about going in on the days I end up wearing the baby. lol I remember the first day I came home with my youngest I end up bottle feeding and milking a goat while wearing him.

Glad you like it, it sure saves a lot of work.

Typical weather today...71, sunshine, tiny breeze, going to 88. And a day on the farm! Absolute must for mowing yard as we have rain showing for most all day Friday, clear weekend. Good, off Sunday and want to enjoy that time.

@AmberLops hope you got your other nesting boxes built. You should make up a lot of extras since you have so many bunnies working for you. I'm sure you sanitize and recycle but, with your numbers you need a lot at one time.

You guys always talk about plopping babes into anothers nest to foster. Do rabbits just take them without question? Seems that way from my side of the story It ain't that way with goats & horses!!! Heck, I even had a hen who didn't want an xtra after day 2.

I do have one little goat doeling this year who adopted herself onto another doe. Took some sneaking but, she finally was allowed to nurse that doe! Her mom fed her at first, then seemed to shun her in favor of her brother. She buddied with twin doelings and learned to go to meals with them!!!

@Jesusfreak101, I have a December baby...well he's 52 now. DOB 12/26. Yeah, Christmas was slightly uncomfy that year. Worse -- B'days were always hard with being the day after Xmas.


Time to refill the cup. You guys have a rocking day!!

I want your weather!!
It's already past 80 here right now

As for the nesting boxes, i'm trying to make one for each of my does...but I have around 50 does! So that makes it a bit hard. Working on it though!
And yep, you can just plop a baby in with another nursing doe and 95% of the time they don't really even notice.
It's harder when the kits are older than a week though.
I do have one doe who will take in any age kit...she's even taken in a 3 week old! She's so sweet and laid back...also not the brightest bunny in the world but I love her

my oldest son is 12-23 lol . well a lot has happened. yesterday the ac wasn't blowing cold air and the drain line was clogged. so my husband worked on some on it. come to find out the sensor that controls Whether the ac or heater comes on is broken. so we possible getting the part today. my husband calls me at 3:32am(he works nights) to tell me that the tire I was concerned about on my vehicle(he drove to work) was now bulging and close to exploding.... he gets home and tries the ac on the off chance it kicks on and a fire starts.... we got it put out right away but he said it didn't change the appearance of the wires so he believe a fire had happened without our knowledge. so that scary.

Morning y'all. Moving slow, ran sheep through the chute yesterday and gave a few a scissor trim. I really need some clippers. Back hurts from being bent over. Got a lot of busted bags of sand and rock to spread today. It was 95 yesterday, same today and it is 94% humidity. Why ain't it raining?

@AmberLops 50 does! You go girl, do the things that make you happy. Nothing puts a smile on your face like a nest box of baby bunnies.

@Jesusfreak101 disaster averted! It could have been bad. Thank you Good Lord!

 

[Jesusfreak101]

agreed on both the account and tire the kids and I were talking about going to see my parents this weekend 3 hour drive from us. so that would have been bad. and thankfully it's not hot this morning yet. so I have all the windows open

 

[AmberLops]

@Jesusfreak101 that's really dangerous...
Please be careful! I hope it gets fixed today. Don't try to turn it back on until you have the part you need to fix it.

@Baymule get some clippers!! It makes everything so much easier. Yesterday I shaved all my rabbits...even my lops and my Netherlands....you can't not laugh when you look at them
Amazon has some great deals on clippers.
