I'm sorry for the losses.

Speaking of pasty-butt, an experienced chicken tender suggested feeding the chicks wet mash instead of dry. I added water to their crumbles to make mash, and didn't see pasty-butt again, in that or subsequent hatches.

I wondered about that, but was afraid they wouldn't eat the soaked mash. Do they eat it okay?

Mine always ate it fine. In fact, I would sometimes mix it real thin at first to make sure they had extra water intake. They would drink the “puddles” from around the edges. Then I gradually made it thicker, and even fermented it.

The only drawback I found with it was that they would get their down super messy.

Time for a new mess on the counters! Because now I've got to try.

Hope and Lumi have left the building to a milking home. All I've got left from that project to sell is Lumi's daughter (registered for $10 as "Sprite" now) and Snooter. The Lamancha buckling I retained that is now a yearling buck will be going to that home too but they didn't intend to get the does but couldn't leave them and then they didn't have room in the car so they'll be back (browser decided that instead of "that" I meant "theater" and it corrected it without permission so I guess it's decided Fox is a budding thespian now, thanks autocorrect, you know just what to say).

They chowed down on it. Even my adults love mash from crumbles.

I have baby dote pictures.

The smears on the wall are unfortunately from the previous horse residents. (I guess horses permanently have scours?) We haven't had time with everything else going on to get them pressure washed.
Anybody need a mini sable? (Right.)

I haven't gotten thr height exactly right for the nd so it looks like they are hanging off the nippies instead of setting up.

And the Lamancha are too tall for me to hang a bucket off the fence and have them set themselves up. I'm going to need my financier to help, probably on Saturday. Water marks because picture "borrowers" have been running around trying to sell goats they don't have again. And i want to share pics!

My garden is getting plowed. It's going to be my best garden since we lived in Michigan.

Also, I told Mark we should electric net fence in everything we didn't want to mow that we could and have thr goats graze it, so here's some pics of how far we've gotten at the moment(goes around the back of the white fence but there's no good way to show that).

Riker.

Happy boys.
