Things are moving along nicely as far as the move. DH will be leaving in a few weeks and I will be following once everything around here is dealt with.
Took some pictures today, so I'll be updating the rabbit and goat threads as well.
I picked up some new additions to my budgie flock. Totally stuck on names for them. Thinking Sprite for the pale green, but not sure what to name the blue/yellow boy. I really like him, so I want his name to be perfect!
Gumdrop and Blu and Sprite and ??
And the eggs currently in my incubator!

Decided to name the other budgie Sparkplug
Anyhow - We've got chicks due tomorrow and hatching today
DH is flying to his new job in Alberta next weekend, so this next week is going to be crazy busy while we basically go through the house and pack and clean!
Some things we can't do still since the basement is basically my barn, but it still needs to be cleaned up, so while we're at it...
Granny is driving me up the wall with doe code and Sprite got sick, so I had to nurse her back to health. She's all better now, don't worry!
Little tired wet hatchlings - first of the year!

Things are so busy around here! I have a waiting list for hatching eggs all the way through until about May!
Chicks hatching this weekend and keeping busy with the rabbits and goats as well.
Sold Gandalf the goose and waiting on homes for Granny and her kids, so things are moving right along!
DH is leaving on Saturday, so we've been busy getting the house cleaned up before he goes. I'll still have packing to do later on myself, but for now, clean is all I ask for!
This house has about 5 households worth of stuff to go through. We took out about 20 giant bags of garbage and a van-load of donations so far. Not too much left to do, fortunately, so should be pretty much done before DH's Saturday departure.
I miss him already!
Here are the chicks from last week - so cute still!

Hi! I haven't been on in so long, it's crazy!
Been busy getting everything ready. DH is already in Alberta working away while I'm still here tying up loose ends. We have found homes for all the animals we aren't taking with us, so we're down to the dogs, budgies, and a few bunnies! I'm taking a pair of New Zealand Reds, a pair of Harlequins, and we're taking Tootsie Roll as a pet/potential Rex breeding experiment as I really want to start doing tanning and work with rabbit skins and may breed some Rex fur into my program. We'll see how it goes!
Phew, so that's the basics. I'll be going out to visit in a few weeks so we can find a place to live
Can't believe I'm down to, like, 11 animals! A far cry from the 100+ I was used to!
I'm hoping to be around on here again - at least semi-frequently, so I'll post pictures and update other threads later

Good Luck in your housing search!

Best wishes to you and yours SA Farm!! 
I can imagine, it would be strange to only have a few animals after you've had a lot of them!!

Dropped off my animals today at my parents farm. They'll be taking care of them while I'm visiting Alberta.
It'll be my only 2nd time flying and, as with the first time, I'm rather intimidated by the prospect of trusting my life to a giant metal bird...
Oh well...
It's strange to watch tv and actually be able to hear it at a decent decibel. Don't really notice how loud the budgies are until they're gone!
How do some people not have animals? I don't think that I could survive without them!
Love my critters
