Being overrun with broodys I know exactly what it's like to disturb one, but I think they're so cute anyways!
I agree! She won't touch me, but she gets mad! Unlike Jolie who will peck me!
My Dove was vicious! But the rest just puff up and tell me off :p

Nothing...
really, just sitting here, bored. Well then I consider, I can go to do laundry, clean the office room, windex the windows, weed the beds, and work on some online stuff.


No, I'm going to be bored. :lol: I'm about to set 2 clutches for my 2 broodies. I actually have 3, but there is only 2 nest boxes, so can't have any more. :rolleyes: I installed a temporary extra nest box today and cleaned the coop and run. Added some fun plants in the chicken's run and cleaned the goat yard. Yesterday I had a terrible headache. Now I'm listening to 80's music and shopping on the TSC site. Speaking of that, It's official, I'm a usual at the feed store! At TSC it's goat feed and chicken feed and cartons. At the feed store it's lime and fly spray and hay. I also love to meet all those farmers in my area at TSC. Who knew? I live in a rural small town area, but I didn't know I had so many local friendly farmers around the corner! I think there's more cattle and horses then sheep and goats, but I'm happy to meet friendly people who are willing to help me! One Man is on local Ag boards (also helped found a local Ag showing group) and offers hoof grooming, ultra sounds, and much more! I'm so happy to find professional good people around the corner! Speaking of rural, behind my house and in front of me are fields and a few blocks down, there is a field of horses and cattle! Plus, one of my neighbor owns a horse. It's really nice.... :cool: So I think I'll switch to 70's and finish contemplating the idea of going into meat rabbits. No relative or good friend of mine would dream of me doing MEAT livestock. I'm just not that type of person, but I'm still thinking about it. As impossible as it seems, I might try some meat rabbits. If I could find some place to put them... but I would not do the butchering. Not yet. There is plenty of people who can do it for me in my area, even my good friend who raises meat rabbits could do it for me, but It would take some observing first before I did it myself. I've never even eaten rabbit before, so I don't even know if I'd like it!
WHat does it taste like? Maybe I'll get some from my friend...

Back to 80's...

:D

I thought you were talking about the temps (80's)....lol.

I liked the 80's music, except the really, really wierd stuff.

It is nice to meet other farm folks local. I love it when someone comes through my line at TSC w/ goat food. I'll talk their ears off, :lol:

That's funny because that's how the conversation starts!
Person: *looks at my cart* "You got goats?"
Me: "Yes, Two nigerian dwarf goats" (Mostly big boers around here)


Then long talk!!!!! I agree on the weird stuff. It's in the 80's here

Don't worry, it's been an ongoing thing. Is she, is she not?
I am pretty positive she was bred the day she went home. When I was at the breeder's she said she had trouble getting her, and she had fell and had to go inside to clean up.
I believe Betty was left to do what she wished. That might mean she decided to find her husband to be. When I was at the breeder's the first time, I noticed her buck pen fencing was not the best. It was patched up in places. I have NOT seen a heat on her since I brought her home so I'm guessing she's prego. Now today, She will not let me go near her, she's got milky goop all in her girly spot and I think she got some on her legs. She is on her nest/bed and has barely left the barn once or twice today. Her little udder looks a tad bigger and when I snuck a little tap at it it felt fuller. Of course when I try to test her ligs she goes crazy, but they do look quite indented. We'll see! Ohh! I calculated if she was bred at the breeders the day she left and the 155th day was yesterday. :weee

I'll keep you posted! At least they'll be well done. :lol: I prefer that to undercooked. Been through that before and do not like it. It is nature, and I can't do anything except have the vet's number on speed dial along with a new (everything in it) kidding kit. Let's pray all goes well! :D
