It just gets more eggs-citing!

So I can't even believe I am saying this but I got 10 eggs today. Yes 10. Obviously one of my hens laid her first egg today, which is really cool because I took all 10 eggs to my friend and got to show her what a 'First' egg looks like. They (first eggs) are more oval, tend to be white spotted, smaller in general, and elongated. If you are a woman, or a compassionate man- you can understand why. So today a total of 10 eggs. That is soooo Eggs-cellent! (I know it's corny but I couldn't help but crack a joke)
I don't want this blog to be about just the chickens and I have been contemplating the fact that right now this is just a daily chicken update....  Fox 5 news reporting.... (Get it?)
I think as this progresses there will be a natural ebb and flow of information depending on who or what is in season. I am coming up on planning my garden so that will be the next big topic of conversation- although bunnies will be cute and cuddly soon. I am going to learn how to insert pictures and other info into this so maybe one day when people actually read it (or more likely I re-read it) it will have more visual interest. Speaking of, it is fall and the leaves are beautiful. I feel like I live in a magazine or a painting of a countryside it's so picture perfect.
It is also hunting season now- it is chilly and a perfect time for venison. I am hoping that Dan gets a few deer this year, as they are an excellent quality meat for almost no cost. I can't wait until he comes in the house and says he has bagged a big one. I'll post pictures- there that gives me incentive to figure it out.
My goats are great and everyone appears back to normal and healthy today. I am considering worming everyone as a kind of preventative since it is going to be very cold and they are going to be spending alot of time in their little barn very soon. I would rather them not be in close quarters with worms (and each other) Maybe I'll call the vet tomorrow. I need to call for Cat anyway. Cat is difficult because he goes to a real vet, not a farm vet. He gets real check-ups and all that jazz. I suppose he is a bit spoiled, but he deserves it. Why? well, because he is Cat- just ask him and he will squint his little eyes at you and tell you so.
The goats are so cute and all furry and fuzzy for the winter. Sugar is the shaggiest and she looks kinda funny but really cute. I love the way Sugar looks because she has the prettiest horns too. Her horn are more sharp and curve back further. All the goats horns have some scaling going on toward the ends- where it looks like the horn has been scratched or chipped away. I asked the vet about that and he says that it's just a change in diet -not good or bad- just a change in diet causes a change in the horn make up. Makes sense right?
I think this year I am going to research veggies to grow that produce the best, with the least disease. Hybrids if I have too. Last year I did all heirlooms and now I know why they invented hybrids. I will definitely keep the Zucchini and the tomatoes (but add a paste tomato) but I think I will need to do a lot of research on green beans and on Bell Peppers. Onions were my fault last year (I will explain another day) and I think the carrots were good actually. No cabbage or broccoli next year or anything that will attract that stinkin cabbage worm. Although I read an article about how to kill them organically with a bacteria that kills them but not other bugs and is not harmful to us.
So I will have to start reading all my veggie books.
I'm too tired to proof read so please forgive all my errors.
