Promise Acre: Our Journey

[samssimonsays]

I know how you feel. That was how it was for me with the Frenchies. Keeping a few just for the fact I love them but I burned out on breeding them. Time for a new leaf and experiences. Good luck! I hope they all go quickly for you.

Sheep update: Emily and Diamond are being picked up today, only ewes that got sold before my "move them sale" . Will be lambing out the other 5 then selling. I get the rams moved soon though.
Chickens: 2 americanas went broody so set up a cage. 1 refused to sit after being in the cage, the other is happily sitting on 11 eggs. Bought 13 pullet chicks from farm store.
Rabbits: Even though most of the sources said wait until bunnies are 8 weeks plus I started treating everyone with durapen again. 2 of Twilight's bunnies weren't gaining well and I was convinced I was going to loose 1. But Monday noticed Twilight was not feeling well at all. She's the only one still showing signs, even Demaris was cleared up. So far everyone is improving! Though George didn't eat all his supper yesterday. :/ he was eating his hay this morning. and prayers I can pull them through and be done with vd!!!

Answered prayers!! Sold 3 rams today. Wasn't asking price but a reasonable offer and no one got hurt catching them. I was worried about the 2 year olds, they are Wild!!! Not my problem anymore!!!
Bought more chicks as the farm store has a great special so am up to 31 chicks, lost 2 so far. Husband has promised more pens, chicken tractor.... he better get building!
Did loose the one bunny of Twilight's afterall. but all the others are doing ok so far.

Grats on the ram sale... That has to have you breathing easier. Sorry about the kit loss.

It definitely does! My back up was an auction in May but very glad at this point I don't have to worry about getting the wild ones in a trailer... their new owner got to wrangle them.

1 more ram to be picked up tomorrow. The guy who bought the other 3 is coming for the other yearling.
so 5 ewes to lamb out, then sell. And 1 big ram. Some interest in him.
Bunnies are improving still. Big improvement this week with Twilight's symptoms. Hoping 1 or 2 more treatments to go. Then I can get the does bred again!

Have decided we need to pull my son out of the local school... he's too distracted by the other kids, schools discipline is ineffective he's very bright, probably bored. He's only in first grade. Torn between just pulling him or letting him finish the first grade there. Excited but sad.

6 sheep left. Bunnies are thriving and healthy. Time to make breeding plans! Son will be staying in school thru the end of the year. Glad spring is almost here.

School isn't that much longer... he'll grow a bit over summer and you can reevaluate before fall term. Hope you find what is right and works best for him and you.
