Today was a good day. Beside the fact that Spot has a tummy issue (not a big one) everyone is doing good. My chickens are my super heroes these days. Today I got 9 eggs! 9! that's the most ever. Yesterday was the most ever...now today the most ever! Yay for the girls! Pullets reach full production @ 6 months old. That would be consistent with an April hatch date. Note to self: next year I will get chicks in April or allow who-ever wants to set then to set. (assuming I get a rooster, otherwise that would just result in rotten eggs)
Dan also bought me the new oven and dishwasher I wanted for Christmas today! We had to order it because I wanted a special one. but it will be delivered the day before Thanksgiving! I can cook my turkey in the new oven! AWESOME. I am getting a very awesome farm fresh turkey from the guy I get my cows from. I am excited to try a true turkey- not something from a feedlot that is bred and fed with the only purpose in mind to be gaining weight as quickly as possible. Taste isn't even the first priority- just sheer size is the bottom line for the grocery store turkeys.
Anyway I can't wait to make all sorts of breads and pastry and turkey and Any & Everything else I can think of!
My goats are tiring these days, I am wondering if it's bad behavior on my or their part. I'm hoping they will mature like dogs do, dogs are always difficult at this age so it would make sense that goats would be the same. right?
Speaking of dogs. I want a dog so bad. But the idea of a dog chasing my chickens would drive me crazy. So does that mean I won't have another dog? Ahhhh that can't be. Maybe I need a Donkey instead of a dog. they are just as awesome. Donkeys are good 'watch dogs' and can keep a whole flock. they are viciously loyal defenders of all of their herd and can be very loving and cuddly too. So Austin and I can love her and then she can keep everyone safe when I'm not around. Just like a dog.
Well I have a lot of things to do- like figure out what to do with all these extra eggs. I'm thinking pound cake, ice cream, egg nog, all the yummy stuff that my rear end doesn't need. If you need any, let me know :)
