Ready or Not....... Shouldvknwnbetter- Fall

[Hens and Roos]

Well Rascal likes the hay- has a great time spreading it around and nibbling on it a bit.

So Coco(his mom) has become very vocal since having him- she has only seen him once since she had him- is it possible that she is looking for him? Our weather is still very cold to take him back out.

Gladys, since we pulled her triplets, is very vocal; at this point i dont think its related

 

[Hens and Roos]

okay, good to know

 

[Hens and Roos]

tomorrow Rascal will be dis-budded, we are having the vet come out to do it so we can watch another one. of course our vet has requested that he not be fed before hand so this should be fun

 

[Hens and Roos]

so we are waiting for the vet to arrive- DH is hoping to get home so he can see how this is done. Rascal is doing okay despite missing a few meals but man does he have set of pipes- especially if I get out of his sight i'm not getting much done...

 

[Hens and Roos]

DH made it home in time to help out with Rascal- he is now resting and coming out of the sedative that was given. We have to now just watch him and make sure there are no issues. Poor guy

 

[Hens and Roos]

Rascal is doing pretty well this morning- he's happy to be getting his bottles again Working on figuring out what the green stuff(hay) is and if he can eat it.

Ellie had her stitches removed this morning and was given the all clear(cone came off for a while but back on cause she's licking a little too much). She is laying at my feet right now relaxing- was giving her a bit of time before letting Cora(our cocker) out of her crate....hoping this goes well

Took some updated pictures of Obie and Maggie.

 

[Hens and Roos]

Finally got a few minutes to crop the pictures I took the other day:

Here is Obie- day 150 for her is April 8th- the kids are hoping for 2 kids

Here is Maggie- day 150 is June 28th

She really didn't want to cooperate and so DH had to help out.

At this point we are still looking to find a non-sweet feed to switch them over to- if we can't find one- what can we mix together as far as grains?

 

[Sweetened]

Id say maggie has trip!

IF we grain, we just do sunflower seeds and oats. They go nuts for it.

Do you find that the sunflower seeds and oats provide enough for them, in addition to hay and loose minerals- for all stages(bred, milking)?

IF Maggie is bred-she isn't quite 2 months along according to the date given.......
