So my main rooster looks like his comb isn’t going to make it through this winter. It’s common for them to freeze off in the area I’m in. We’ll see how it turns out with this colder weather coming.
2024-01-04 22:49:39 +0000 UTC View PostMy goats are seriously getting bigger. I didn’t realize how much they’ve grown until yesterday looking at baby pictures of them. They were so cute. I’m excited for how much bigger they’ll get. I don’t think they’re done growing yet.

I think I did end up with one rooster out of the last batch I hatched. If you look at the one chicken that has a really red comb vs the other two that are very pale or basically have no combs. The one that is red is a rooster or will be a rooster when he continues to grow. The comb will continue to grow and be red. When the hens get mature theirs will start to grow and be almost identical to the rooster currently. The difference is the roosters won’t stop growing for a while. The hens also won’t grow theirs until they are ready to start laying eggs or are sexually mature.
2024-01-02 21:12:57 +0000 UTC View PostMy girl goats are getting pretty big. I think they are pushing 60 pounds at least. They are very friendly and nice. They always follow me around when I go inside there pen.

This is Zayn in the front. He’s getting old. He turns 8 tomorrow. I’m hopeful for many more great years with him. He’s very healthy right now and acts just as old as the puppies.
2023-12-31 00:51:09 +0000 UTC View PostThe chickens are pretty cool. I’m running out of them though. Honestly. My dogs got in again. I don’t have predators otherwise. But my dogs just keep getting in a new way each time. They seem to be getting more and more clever. They got my ducks in the last attack. All of them. So I’m really sad that I don’t have ducks anymore.
2023-12-30 00:17:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe quail are always fun to watch. They like to watch you back it seems. They aren’t to timid. They don’t seem to like very many treats besides worms. I’ve tried to give them a variety of other treats and they don’t eat it.
2023-12-28 23:06:36 +0000 UTC View PostThe boys love to bed fed. They are still growing and still seem like it. They are starting to have that boy goat smell to them. It makes them pretty stinky
2023-12-28 01:18:05 +0000 UTC View PostI love the quail. This is my favorite level of them. I have 4 levels in the quail tower. They are very easy to take care of. I’m excited for them to start laying again. I think as soon as they start I’ll start incubating. I don’t think they’ll start until spring, I’m hoping early spring. I’ll keep you updated on when I start to get eggs.

This is Meana she is a very nice girl. She likes to sleep in this bed most days with Cindy. She seems the most mature out of the three kittens so I think she was the oldest of the three. She likes to cuddle when she wants otherwise she basically leaves you alone and does her own thing most of the day.

It’s very rainy here. It’s making everything really messy and muddy. The dogs loved playing in the puddles today when I did chores.

My chickens are getting bigger. They all were looking at me this morning when I was doing chores. They haven’t started laying yet. They should be getting closer and closer everyday now.

My chickens and ducks are out today. The goats destroyed the netting on the old chicken brooder in the background so it’s staying in there until spring when I fix the wiring and hopefully make a door on it. It helped raise most of the chickens there today. It’s also super foggy today.

Drogon was looking real cute today. He’s probably one of the best cats I own. He likes to cuddle a lot but isn’t overbearing about it. He gets grumpy when you move him. He has a nice meow but isn’t too talkative.

Today the chickens were very nice. I haven’t had any issues with my main rooster for a while. He’s been friendly for the most part.

Rue has been such a good girl lately. She’s a little funny with the cats. She likes to play with them. I don’t know if they like that very much though.

These are my breeding pair of ducks. The girl duck stays with the same boy duck. It’s pretty cute how they spend there days together.

My girls are still producing some eggs throughout the winter. But not nearly as many as the summer. I got 3 eggs today which is a lot. I’ve had issues with them freezing and cracking before I get to them.

This is silver. She’s a little cutie. Super sweet and super friendly. She is so kind and loves the dogs too. She was cuddling with me and the puppies earlier today it was so cute.

Here are some of the girls that I most recently hatched. They are getting pretty big. Almost hens now. All the ones in the picture are females. I think out of that batch I got almost all hens if not all of them hens. Which is pretty awesome.
2023-12-14 20:37:33 +0000 UTC View PostHere are my quail drinking some water. They are all so pretty. They are one of the best farm animals in my opinion :)

I got some cute pictures of Theo today so I thought I’d share. Honestly think these are the best pictures I’ve taken in a while.

Lisa got out today. I’m not sure how she’s doing it. But she’s been getting out every few days. She just stays along the fence line to stay close to Marge who doesn’t get out. I think she’s jumping. She’s a good jumper.

These girls are getting older everyday. They were the batch I hatched in August, so they are a few months old. They could start to lay anytime now or it could be a few months still. We’ll see.

My main rooster wanted to be the star again. He’s been pretty nice to me since my last post. So he’s still around. If he stays good I’ll keep him. Otherwise he was out today and Zayn did try to eat him but he only got a few feathers before I saw.

Ice fishing is a pretty common thing around my area. I love it. It is one of my favorite winter pastimes.

This is Rue. I call her Rue Rue. She’s super sweet but a little vicious. Her and tuck have both completed a puppy training course and in the spring I’ll be getting them into more training. I’m hoping they turn into really well behaved dogs.

So this is tuck again. This picture kinda sums up who he is as a dog. Hes still a puppy and is a weirdo. He’s super cute and super friendly. But he’s weird. He’s a little awkward growing into himself. I’m excited to see how big he’ll get.
2023-12-04 21:55:25 +0000 UTC View PostThis is Ned. He’s been a super good boy lately. He’s very sweet and loves pets. I like him a bit more than Homer. But Homer is hard not to love
