Today was my first day at my new job. I LOVE IT!

Still have all my big chickens and 2 remaining chicks . Hopefully the raven is done terrorizing my birds :(

Saw the raven sitting on my backyard fence looking at my chickens. I missed him when I shot :barnie


My mom is interested in raising rabbits for meat with me. I just need to invest in the cages and what not before we buy breeders. I don't know where to put the cages though.

I really am not up to date on what breeds are popular. I'd like to get a breed that is solid dark colors because I want to reuse the pelt to line hats. Any suggestions? Do New Zealand or Californian breeds come in darker colors? I've only ever seen the white, pointed and broken colors.

I am not sure, don't know much about the different breeds as well! I have had Sandard Rex for forever! The come in solid colors, but finish a bit smaller than some breeds, usually around 6lbs.

I LOVE my new job. It feels so good to finally have a job that I am passionate about. I love the people I work with, I love the facility, I love the location, I love my job!

I also love that its not just cats and dogs. We had a goat come in today, pot bellied pigs yesterday. Horses almost every day plus the 4 boarding horses and the 5 resident goats :weee

I just can't say enough how much I adore my job!

Oh good to know about the NZ's. I've been looking on Craigslist and it seems those are the ones I should aim for.

I know! It's amazing the way things work out. I am so grateful they saved it for me. I am living the dream :love
My name is Emily, by the way :)

I'm off this Sunday so we are driving an hour or so to hit up a 20% off sale at a ranch supply store. I need more fencing! :D
