Thanks for watching. I hope it's not too boring! Hay for the goats will also go out in the morning if needed. But the feeder was full. As there gets to be more grass, they will eat less and less hay. Good green grass will fatten them up quick

Hatching chicks as we speak. I saw this one come out

This is a video of worm grunting from a friend of mine I thought yall might get a kick out of it

Watching this mother hen makes me smile and nearly get teary eyed. She is so protective of and so tender towards these babies. There was one sitting on her back, but I couldn't get a photo. If another hen gets too close, they regret it immediately! She has about 15 chicks she's looking after. The other hen is still on the nest and has 3 more hatching and about 4 or 5 eggs besides. I get a little worried about them, but this experience of letting the mamas take care of them instead of them going in the brooder is a great experience. I've already learned a lot and what to do better next time. Another hen has gone broody, so I gave her some eggs tonight.
I hope y'all have had a good day. Thank you to everyone who has subscribed or taken an interest in the happenings here on the farmstead. We really appreciate you guys!

My wife has a new pet haha. The hen that hatched him out wanted to stay on eggs instead of taking care of the chicks

This is my new gravity fed setup. For everyone that knows me it is the same one from before but with a bigger tank (30 gallon) and new platform. You can get most of the supplies needed to set up one of these through rabbitnipples.com or through klubertanz.com. not getting a commission

For everyone that hasn't seen my rabbitry this is it!. It is a battery cage setup for ease of breeding. The roofing is made up of oilfield tarping that isn't biodegradable. I have collected scraps from a previous employer and I can weld them together to make any size I need with a vulcanizer.

I need to finish the roofing on the rest of the cages before the other litters are old enough to move there. They also have roll down tarps for bad weather

We ended up successfully integrating the little chick back with the hen and other chicks. He is so much better off with his "people". 😊 But I have to admit, it was a little tough letting him go.

Overcast day here on the farm. Kind of depressing looking. But I try to look past that and hope and pray for rain. Much of the country is in super drought so I am thankful for every drop. Try to take some time to think about things you can be thankful to God for today. This will help our outlook on life greatly if we think on everything we can be thankful for instead of what we don't have. As I get older, I realize more and more how little you really need to be happy. Y'all have a wonderful day. Thank you for taking time out to stop by. We appreciate each and every one of you. 😊
