I see rabbit cages! Are you getting back into rabbits?

No, those were for the quail. I never got them retrofitted though. I found a friend that lives on what they process including their rabbit and the row cages will be going there. The 9 hole monster rabbit condo will be going to my dad. I didnt like having quail attracting flies that live and breed in the milk room, so we're going chicken and duck again. That's the end of that adventure and I'm okay with that.

Very kind of you to give cages to the friend that eats what they raise. I’m sure your DD is happy with the giant cage too!

Merry Christmas!
Out of town co-eisiting with inlaws, but the cold is everywhere. My animals have heated waterers, shelter, and lots of food under the care of my plans and my mom and dad. It got down to -9 in Springfield, and -10 on the road where we were driving.
Sixteen days until kidding. Looks like the highs will be back in the 60's...lol.

A bucky, hopefully pregnant doe.
Hi! I still have three lamanchas due on the 9th. It's raining again. The poor winter wheat took a sub zero hit over Christmas and the fields aren't very green anymore and able to enjoy the rain, but maybe the ground water will benefit. It's rained every day since we got back to one degree or another, and it's warm. Go figure. That's why we grow winter wheat here, I guess.
I had to de duck because the geese decided to get killy on them. And I need the geese to repel hawks and the chronically offended geese do not bother much with the chickens so it was a no brainer. I guess I can trick out the coop for just chickens now. The geese don't get locked in and stay out of the coop. Time for a small automatic chicken door and chicken specific waterers and feeders in there with a dish or two and a pool outside for the honkers. I'd like to invest in some roll out nest boxes at some point, I think.
We got sick a bunch again, curtailing productivity, but we'll get back on it again.
Dipping into the cheese fridge now. The jack cheese is pretty good.

Btw, I learned how to watermark stuff and use it to cover goat bums so DH won't complain, lol. Those pics are from my fb page. My local area is also having scammer issues, so it's probably past time for the watermark.
