Samssimonsays: Blazing Acres journal

[samssimonsays]

Last night with a break in the rain FINALLY happening, the wind was brutal though, I managed to get out to the bucks pen and get the Hay feeder built and a top put on it that hinges on the inside so I can fill it from the outside, a Temporary shelter built and roof put on it. Will be hopefully installing a trough under the hay feeder to help keep grain dry and then getting their water buckets and a place to secure them to installed soon. It is nothing fancy but I am mighty proud of myself for this! Can't wait to build a hay feeder like this for the girls next!

Functional doesn't have to be fancy. I think you are super creative.

I was busy from the moment I got home yesterday!

I added in the feeder for the buck pen,

And I built a feeding station for the girls pen that the rabbits can eat in peace now too

This will allow me to feed them easier and from outside the fence without having them standing ON the fence.... It is completely movable once the bracing is removed to disconnect it from the fence posts.

The rabbits LOVE it and I may be able to use it for a creep feed system with kids too.

The goats not so much I mean, the absolute torture they must be going through not being able to eat ALL the food in the pen anymore.

As you can see the poor tree is wrapped... they kept unwrapping it and getting in trouble so they figured out how to unwrap the back part that we can't see from the kitchen window.... sneaky, sneaky....

Next item on the agenda will be this corner with the old hay feeder and rabbit shelter area. Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow night... maybe this weekend. But it is next on the list lol. This window well works wonders for them. The rabbits love it and the goats love to stand on it
