Ready or Not....... Shouldvknwnbetter- Fall

[Hens and Roos]

I don't know whether to oror

I would die. I think my goats would die also, big wimps.
I'm cold and it was in the 30's today. Its a high of 33 tomorrow, bet thats T shirt weather for you

I love the south!

30's are still cold here- DH used to just wear t-shirts in this weather but has added a sweatshirt too!

wind chill is not fun!! Wind chill here -24 with a temp of -12....kids went to school today.

Doing chores in groups- even with extra layers on cant be outside to long at all- last group to go do are the chickens- all waterers are frozen.....just part of living here!

took a few pictures the other day since I was being given the back sides

this is Maggie- her possible kidding date is March 29th -April 3rd- thinking possible 4 kids- this will be her 4th freshening

Obie- possible kidding date April 5th -April 10th- this is her 2nd freshening- thinking 3-4. Obie was dusting everyone with hay that morning!

Coco- possible kidding date April 14th-April 19th- this is her 2nd freshening- thinking 2

Melanie possible due date April 9th-April 14th- will be her 1st freshening....she wasn't interested in letting me take her picture

Both Melaine and Coco are due right around my DS(10)'s birthday....hopefully they wont disappoint him!!

I'm guessing Maggie has to do some contortions to get up or lay down.

Actually she does pretty well yet....if she gets bigger it will become more difficult- like last year!

this morning DD and DH did chores- when they came inside they told me that Melanie had a tooth sticking out of her mouth but it wasn't bleeding and she was eating just fine. After taking a look we figure out that Melanie lost her 2 front baby teeth and her adult teeth are coming in!

 

[Hens and Roos]

wanted to ask- if anyone is using the big bales of hay to feed, what is the best way you have found to feed it out? DH and I were thinking of getting a big bale to try but figuring we would have to store it inside and take hay off as needed(trying not to make a huge mess). Our feeders are inside the shelters so only so much can be put into one at a time. Right now between the 9 goats and the rabbits we are using 1 small square(probably 35-40 pounds) a day.
