Farm Update: Kids, Kittens, ducklings... Oooo My.
Seems I always have so much to share & I get wayyyy behind, lol
Peanut was 3 weeks old last weekend... hes doin great. He really is Ringos shadow, I love to hear them callin for each other down in the barnyard. All the other goats have pretty much accepted him, they will give him a push every once in awhile.
(Ringo is 3 months old now)
The 5 kittens are so much fun to have around... they stay in the family room & kitchen now. Ya gotta watch out where ya step or ya might just squish one! They will goin to their new homes startin next week. I am keepin one. The lil calico girl with white on her face :)
They 3 week old ducklings are doin great... Lu Lu is such a great momma duck, shes hasnt lost any of her ducklings. They walk everywhere & stay close to the barnyard at feedin time
.
More sweet ducklings started hatchin yesterday... Scarlett has her nest under the shed so I really dont know how many have hatched yet.
Garden is tiled up & ready to be planted when my honey says... Lets do it. He did plan some giant sunflower seeds the other day.
& we cant forget about yummy farm fresh eggs... I get anywheres from 20-30 eggs a day right now, its great. Been sellin eggs, which is always nice & I've been freezing some of my extra eggs (I am gonna post about that on my other blog... All Because 2 People Fell In Love ) soon. I did sell 5 hens yesterday so production will go down alittle, til some of my younger girls start layin.

Star... almost 4 months
Star is 4 months pregnant now... and she is really gettin BIG, I'm gonna say shes got 3 in there too, we will see. I see & feel her babies move & kick all the time, its so cool! She only lets me touch the sides of her belly when shes busy eatin, lol. I've started puttin her on the milk stand to eat her grain so I know shes gettin her fair share & plenty for the babies growin in her belly, she gets 1 soup can of sweet feed mornin & evenin, in about a week I'll give her 2 soup cans. I trimmed her hooves on 3 30 12, I'll check them 1 more time as her due date gets closer & I dewormed her last week. If you would really like to watch her grow I'm gonna post pics the beginning of every week.
I "think" she was bred Dec. 14 or 15.
Between Tulip & Star babies are gonna be everywhere... I cant wait!

Tulip is 4 months pregnant now... and she is really gettin BIG, I'm thinkin shes got 3 in there, we will see. I see & feel her babies move & kick all the time, its so cool! Shes pretty good about letting me touch the sides of her belly, especially when shes busy eatin, lol. I've started puttin her on the milk stand to eat her grain so I know shes gettin her fair share & plenty for the babies growin in her belly, she gets 1 soup can of sweet feed mornin & evenin, in about a week I'll give her 2 soup cans. I trimmed her hooves on 3 30 12, I'll check them 1 more time as her due date gets closer & I dewormed her last week. If you would really like to watch her grow I'm gonna post pics the beginning of every week.
