For the most part it has just been the basic day to day activities going on. Except for those big old snow storms we've been having. My goodness, it's been an active couple of weeks for snow.
At least my granddaughter enjoys the snow.
The animals on the other hand are not enjoying it quite so much!
I am still on baby watch for the my two pregnant does. I was told they were due end of March but they are getting so big. They look like they are ready to give birth any day now. I have them separated into their own stall in the barn.
I was able to get all the boys together in their own pen and my other two does and the two babies into another pen.
Oh my goodness those boys though. The two wethers to be exact. The snow is so deep that the fence for their paddock is only about 2 feet high! They kept jumping over the fence. I was constantly picking them up and tossing them back over. lol We put up plywood and stuffed some more fence posts into the snow to try to keep them in. Fortunately, at the moment, the snow is so deep on the outside of the fence that they don't dare jump over.
I am going to have to have one of the guys plow a path in the paddock for the goats because the snow is so deep that they are only staying in the run in.
They are getting big! The little guy, brown, will be going to his new home soon. I don't need any more bucks. :-)
I had ordered a new motor for my incubator but it ended up being just a little bit different. My husband says he can make it work. We've had so many snow storms and he's been so busy plowing that he hasn't had time to look at it. I had wanted to get a batch of eggs in before we left for Florida next month but I don't think that is going to happen.
Seven of us are flying to Florida next month for April vacation. We'll visit my mom and my father in law. Plus we'll do Disney or something. I was able to find tickets for all of us for under 500.00. It's a middle of the night flight but the 79.00 tickets are worth it!
Don't worry, we still have a few people living at the house that will be taking care of the animals. There is always someone here. It will be nice to get away for a few days. We are looking forward to it! The dogs will surely miss us though. :-(
Well, I was going to leave you with a video of the goats playing but I guess I have to shorten it before I put it on.
Happy weekend! Enjoy.
