Sarah (Thickin' and Thinnin' at Goodwife Farm) & her family came to visit & she trimmed hoofs for me, which I'm thankful for.
She also brought me a lil gift today... lard she had rendered earlier this week. I think that was so sweet of her. I can wait to use it, think I might have to made some kind of pie sometime soon. I sent her home with 2 quarts of goats milk so they would have some hm goat ice cream, speakin of hm goat ice cream...
They brought their ice cream maker & we made some tonight...
Actually alot of my girls are molting right now and I've had a huge drop in my egg supply... some days I'm only gettin 3, 5 maybe 9 eggs from almost 30 hens & 2 duck hens (havent seen a duck eggs in weeks, month). Hope they get back to layin soon, we need eggs! I do have 6 pullets that should start layin any day. I dont think they have started yet, I havent caught any in the nest boxes. Then my other 2 duck hens should start layin any day now too.
I hatched him on April 27 2011. Trisha over at Lovin' The Country Life had mailed me some of her silkie eggs to hatch. I really need to try to sell this rooster, dont need 2, I only have 2 silkie hens.
Felt sorry for em being in the lil tractor so I let momma & chick out to free range, checked on em in the evening & momma had her chick in the Silkie coop ready for bed.
