Well, Captain Spiderman had a bad day at school yesterday. Another child hit him in the head with a tractor. Being 2 1/2 is hard. Poppa and I picked him up early, as we were taking him to see Minions, at our local theater (we were the only ones there). The school called just as we pulled up in the parking lot. Cap came out with a big smile and said, "Jaxon hit me in the head with a tractor. He was mean." I laughed because they are not supposed to tell us who else was involved. The Owner just smiled and said, "I'm sorry." Sweet lady. Well, what are you gonna do with a room full of 2-3 yr olds?
Captain Spiderman was really good at the movie and he remained interested until the last 10 minutes or so, when he wanted to walk around. The popcorn helped!
It has rained just enough to create a huge mud puddle at the chicken coop, so today we are cleaning the forest floor and making a "carpet" that will hopefully help us not slide around so much. This mud is the worst I have ever encountered. If I had enemies, I would wish this mud on them!
The Pac Pack are enjoying laying in the forest near where we are cleaning. It is in the low 80's with a cool breeze and they are thrilled.
We have 3, possibly 4 goats that should be kidding about now but none of them are showing any signs of impending birth. This is our mean girl click that we were sure got bred in March or April. They had a little buck that was about 6 months old running with them for several weeks until we realized he was old enough to get the job done. Our mean girl click is all of our skinny girls. 3 of them are definitely pregnant and showing. I've bumped tested all 3 and can feel a baby, maybe 2 but timing is unclear. We just knew they would Domino during the Hurricane but we were saved and they didn't. Now it is a waiting game.
Our little chicken flock has contracted and upper respiratory infection and are receiving antibiotics in their water. Nothing like 160 little chicks, in a mud hole with an upper respiratory infection. We are on day 3 of 10 with the antibiotics. We lost the first 2 that we noticed were sick. Everyone else seems to be ok, but 2 have an icky looking eye. I catch them and clean their eye each day with plain water and then sanitize my hands very well. I have thought about putting a drop of LA 200 in their eyes but not sure if that would help or hurt so I have resisted. Attached is photos of our mud hole and many animals! The white Alpaca laying down is Pearl. She is the main one that lays her neck all the way on the ground. It has freaked me out more than once.
This is our skinniest girl, Sadie. This is a picture of her now. The picture above and below are her today.
The picture below is how she has always looked before.
