Busy, busy, busy

That's the way things are nowadays.

When we picked up the first two goats, we picked up a rooster not even a week later. That caused the chicken coop to get finished THAT NIGHT! When it rained shortly after, we moved the coop to the garage, then just out of the garage, then we moved it to its current place - and built the chicken run. Then we picked up four bantam hens, six Shaver Red hens, two chicks, and three guineas.

After building the milking stand, we picked up another milking doe. She's an older goat, but we've been getting over a gallon of milk from her each day.

Next on the list was to build a pasture. That was done over the course of several weeks. Later, we found the livestock wire spacing too large for the horned doe - she gets caught in it reaching through the middle holes. So, it is currently being replaced with goat wire.

We've also built a new screen door for the goat shed - one strong enough to keep them in! We had thrown up a quick wood chelter that became a goat shelter, but it needed to be somewhat sturdier. The roof and supports are built and next are the "walls."

Guess that brings everyone up to speed now. Well, yes, there is more. And I'll tell a few tales.
