Didn't have any of the mystery eggs today... :/


Today we caught all the goats and gave everyone their "Lamb Combo"...a custom formulation from my vet that includes CDT and Bo-Se so I can give one shot to get multiple benefit.

Lilly went into the "maternity ward". She should be due around the 16th of this month. She was not a bit pleased with the issue even though she has her daughter Maggie for company. At least she wasn't pleased until we filled the pan with alfalfa pellets then she was happy enough to ride it out

Snickers is looking a little pale in the eyelids, so he got dosed with Valbazen today and will get Ivermectin and Sulfadimethoxine next week.

Kingston is looking like he has a penal shaft infection. He is able to pee and there are no signs of UC. We dealt with this once before so we'll treat him with Sulfadimethoxine next week as well. I put an order in to Jeffers and it should be here on Tuesday...but until then I'm out of ivermectin and Sulfadimethoxine.

Looks like I'm gonna be calling my hay guy and ordering 2 more round bales of hay. I can't wait for Spring and growing grass!

You and me both! Great idea with the combo vacc. One poke and done.

I bought some crappy hay on purpose today, the wonderful alfalfa we got last fall is making the fat goats fatter (dry / open boers) and b/c they are such hogs, I hate to put any more out for the 'workin' girls'...so the fat chicks are moving out soon, the skinny mamas will get more alfalfa, and the fat chicks will go on old grass hay.

Oh, if only there were pasture to throw the fatties out to. *sigh*

Woman, I'm tellin' you, it's a duck egg.

Now, you leave us fatties alone. You know, if some countries being fat is a sign of prosperity.

I had nightmares last night that I was on an airplane flying to Oklahoma, and the eggs in my bra were hatching. They were cheeping. The stewardess was NOT happy.

OH I CAN SEE IT NOW !!!!!!!!!!

I think your eggs are from a Easter Egger that is mixed with a dark egg layer. or it can be a guinea hen that is starting to lay. I have guinea hens and I find they can have a wax coating on the eggs so I wood do the guineas first then the Easter Egger next. do you know how many guinea hens you have??

 

[elevan]

I should have 3 guinea hens...unless another is holding out on me. I'm pretty sure that "chicken" is a boy...but I question it sometimes. "Chicken" is a guinea who is confused...thinks it's a chicken. I've also got a chicken who thinks she's a guinea
