AlleysChicks Journal

Hopefully this doesn't end up like all the other journals I've started through the years.


Hi y'all I'm Alley from Ohio! I live on a small farm in Southern Ohio. I currently have 5 Nigerian dwarf (&cross) goats, 2 muscovy ducks, 16 rabbits (10 of those are babies), and let's say 20 chickens (x4 probably but shhhhh I don't have a problem lol). I also have a couple dogs and a turtle indoors.

Life keeps me busy and I rarely have any downtime. My to-do list is several pages long and I swear I'm going to put a dent in it this summer. If only the rain would stop and the ground would dry up enough to walk across.

I am more than willing to swap our dry spell for some of your rain

I'd swap in a heartbeat! We have high water signs all over the place! And I've lost 9 young birds from it.

It is. I feel bad for the broody hen. She was calling for them when I was outside feeding.

I hope so too. I'm gonna have to hit everyone with corrid if it keeps up.

Every day is an adventure here! Always something going on or some mishap.

Speaking of mishaps. Finally got my records how I want them and the printer stopped halfway
Short 1 1/2 doe copies and 2 buck copies.

So far today has been dry!

So normal chores and I started clipping goat hooves. They were JUST clipped last month when we had the hot days, but I've been worried with all this rain and nonstop flooding. For good reason. Everyone had nasty hooves. I scraped and cut them back as far as I could without bleeding. Going to tsc later to get a few things. Hopefully I can find something.
