Roll Farms - Herdstock is over, and I'm feeling hung over, lol

Well, at least you have girls that you KNOW are bred. Brownie hasn't been in heat since October and she looks pregnant. She eats like she's pregnant, but she should be making an udder by now and she is NOT! So now I am wondering if she is actually just fat and pretending that she is pregnant. And the same with Mama.

I have a little spotted buckling that I will sell nice and cheap. Of course, he won't be ready to breed girls for months and months. And you would have to drive down here to get him. I suppose that would definitely NOT be in the budget. Or I could drive up there, if you want to pay my gas. He would fit in the front seat of my truck... He's awful cute....

We are having snow showers but the roads look clear.

Work called and told me to stay home so.......here I shall stay.

We got the goat boys moved over to the pen Creampuff was in. The old buck barn is now vacant and....if it wasn't 20 degrees and blowing snow, we could tear it down. It figures that we finally get situated and....the winter weather hits.

We're going to trade one of the Flemish kits for a new bloodline Silver Fox doe w/ blue in her pedigree. Selling the Holland Lops to make room. DH is obsessed w/ the Silver Fox buns.

Not much else to report....hope everyone had a good / safe New Years.

Lucky you, you have snow. We just have cold now.

Isn't it always the way. Barn vacated, but can't do anything because of the weather. Sucks!

Really glad to hear about the bunny trade. That's great that your DH has found the breed he really likes. Silver foxes are an amazing meat rabbit breed. And selling the Holland is smart. Why have a rabbit around that truly isn't part of your DH's breeding program. Plus you have bad luck with Hollands (I remember the nasty doe you got rid of) .

Wishing him all the luck with his new doe.

Hoping your boys get their new digs soon.

Hoping you and yours have a good/safe New Years also.

Well....poop.
Only 2 of the first 9 silkie eggs hatched. Think I fudged up the humidity, usually my Sportsman will hatch 80-90% when full, but with such a small hatch I bet I needed to up the %. One of the 2 has a bad leg, not sure if he'll make it or not.
I have 8 more in there due in 2 wks, we'll see how it goes w/ the higher humidity.

Tattooed 3 rabbits yesterday. OH MY DANG did them little critters ever squeal like pigs.

Bunny pick up today and a 'giving shots / milking' lesson tomorrow for a BYH member.

Well....poop? lol
Sorry to hear only 2 of your 9 silkie eggs hatched. Hoping the one with the bad leg makes it. Still think it's neat to watch them hatch. One thing that I would love to do one day.

I would scream too if you were poking all those little holes in my ear and then smearing ink on it afterwards. You are so mean! lol. Good to hear you got them tattooed. Why didn't your DH tattoo his own bunnies? Oh give you the hard work and cause that short sharp shock? What a wimp he is. lol.

Hoping your shots/milking lessons go well.

DH doesn't do pokey-sharps unless he absotutely posilutely has to.

He also can't sex a rabbit.

I get to do ALL the fun stuff.

My DH is the same way. He about flipped when I told him that he HAD to learn how to give Boingo's insulin injections.

What? No pokey sharps? What ever happened to "men as tough guys"?

Oh, wait, I forgot (slaps forehead) that goes away when they stop trying to impress the girls.
