Spring fever!

Boy oh boy do I have spring fever today!  That thermometer that has been reading single digits and even negative digits was reading in the 60*s today.  Plus add on the new baby goats in my basement and the 3 seed catalogs that have come in recently, I am itching for spring!  This is rather unusual since I am a winter person.  I love a big snow storm. But now I'm looking forward to new adventures this spring.  Time to start planning!

I added a log from our wood pile into the goat pen.  Oh my goodness they are having a blast jumping and climbing on that little log.  I was able to get a few photos but with my cell so they aren't the best quality. 

They are getting so stinking cute. 
I am pretty sure I have another doe, Daisy, that is expecting but she is only about 2.5/3 months pregnant.  The "boys" broke through the fence and I actually saw her bred.  Lou Lou was a surprise. 
At least we will be more prepared with Daisy.

Garden:
There are so many seed catalogs out right now.  I am the person that snuggles up in a chair with a cup of coffee and reads those catalogs front to back.  Multiple times. I only buy heirloom seeds so I love to learn where they come from, the history on the seeds.
I did save some pumpkin seeds the other day.  I had one more pumpkin saved from Halloween to give to the chickens.  I forgot to save the seeds with the other two.

I'm hoping to grow some this year for the goats and chickens.  They say they are a natural de-wormer for them.   I'm all about trying natural remedies.  Less chemicals the better.  I'm growing garlic also but we eat so much I'm not sure there will be enough for the animals.  😊

My husband and I stopped down at our lower garden the other day.  We had some flooding a bit ago so we were checking out the damage.  There will be a lot of cleaning up to do before we can till in the spring. 

The river was flowing over the whole garden.  This doesn't happen too often but the town nor the state have cleaned all the brush and logs out of the large culverts that goes under the main road so it backed up some.

Chicken Coop:
Turkeys are some of the dumbest animals.  lol  I had to help two today.  The first one I had noticed was on the perch most of the day yesterday and again today.  So I'm thinking that the Tom was stuck up there.  I had to cut down another perch in front of the one he was on so he had room to jump off.  I have no idea how he got up there in the first place. 
The second one was outside of the shed/coop and in the fenced in yard.  I haven't been using the yard's gate because of the amount of snow so the birds all go out the main coop door when I open it in the mornings.  After lunch I went out and sure enough the turkey was still standing at the gate to come out.  All the other birds went back into the coop and out the main door.  I had to finagle the gate open so he could join the others. 
I finally got about 6 eggs today.  With the arctic cold we had and the lack of light I have not gotten many eggs.  The eggs that have been laid have frozen solid and cracked.  I was getting over 2 dozen eggs a day.
The ducks and turkey have not laid in quite some time.  The white leg horns seem to be the best layers.  Hopefully now that the cold spell is over, more will come.
