So unfortunately my dog killed one of my hens today. It was my Easter egger. Her body was mostly untouched but her head and neck were gone. I didn't want her to go to waste so I boiled and plucked her and she's in the freezer.
She laid one last egg before she got killed so it's in the incubator. I've ordered some more eggs and I'm expecting them to come in around Feb 1st. So we'll see if her last egg hatches. Curry also laid today so I've got her egg with the other so they'll hatch at the same time.🤞 it'll be about 21 days till the first eggs hatch but I'll keep yall posted.
Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Nothing really exciting has happened as of late. I got a welder machine for Christmas though. For those of you who don't know I have welded a bit before and hopefully this spring I'll be taking another class for more industrial type welding. Who knows maybe I'll be posting about welding projects in the future! My first project will be our goats big gate for their large pasture. We've been keeping them in a smaller pen while we've fenced in the back of our property and the gate doesn't quite touch the post when you close it so Oreo and Franny have escaped a couple times. I don't have a recent pic of him but his winter coat has fully grown in and he's super fluffy! He's so cute! But he can be a real butthole.😆
All of our hens are laying and I'll probably be ordering some hatching eggs soon to add to our flock. Maybe I'll post about their growth as I incubate them and yall can see them grow! I may also hatch a few of my hens eggs for fun. Definitely need an additional coop though as Sampson hasn't been getting along with his father Tulip lately. He's been chasing him out of the coop and into the woods so he needs his own coop and hens now.
I think that's all for now.
So... oreo got a hold of me. That's his teeth marks on my neck. My daddy put the heat lamp up for the goats and I was trying to distract oreo and hold the light cause it's late evening and dark. Oreo was on his desk trying to pull daddy's jacket so I started petting him and scratching behind his horns. He started pulling on my shirt and when I looked up at daddy oreo nipped me. Goats don't have top front teeth so they can grip plants and use the bottom ones to cut the grass or leaves off the main plant.
Gave the animals a pumpkin today and most is going to be set up tonight for wildlife. I'll try to get some pics of deer and other animals eating it.
So she's produced more eggs and I think it's my Easter egger that's laying them cause they're more green in color. The lighting doesn't do them justice. Cause she's more of a pet breed her eggs are on the smaller side. None from my two other girls yet but I'm hoping they'll start laying any day now.
I tried one of her eggs today with two store bought and hers wasn't as strong flavored as the store bought eggs. Don't get me wrong they were good too but hers had a milder taste if that makes sense? Something about the store bought ones was stronger or perhaps more pungent?
I was also thinking about maybe getting some brahma eggs late this winter to hatch out. My red and white rooster was one I hatched about two years ago now and he turned out to be a handsome mix of golden pheonix and golden comet breeds. ⬇️
This is Sampson
Hey anyone that researches bird species can yall tell me what species this little one is? The closest I could find was the yellow breasted chat but I'm not 100%sure that's what this is. My dog found it and I had to grab it from her but it passed away a minute later. I live on the coast of North carolina if that helps with identifying this beauty.
Update! I found out its a common yellow-throat.
AAAHHH! IM SO EXCITED! One of my new hens laid her first egg. It's smaller than a normal egg.
Sadie was laying on my momma with her arms stretched out like this today. She's a weird cat.
I gave Sampson some peanuts and he decided to stand in the planter. He should be keeping an eye on his hens in the back yard but I guess he wanted a break. So I guess his daddy is keeping an eye on them.
I keep my band-aids, gauze wraps, and ointments in the bathroom cabinet. The cough medicine, pain meds and other oral meds I keep in one kitchen cabinet. Vitamins are kept in the spot between my microwave and fridge on a small tray. I keep oral meds in the kitchen so I can use drinks to help swallow them down.
recently saw ppl discuss whether they put their medicines in a kitchen cabinet or a bathroom cabinet and i was shocked by the fact that many ppl said kitchen cabinet. so now i need you to reblog this and say where you keep yours
Seth from Day Shift 2022. Anyone else think he's a cutie? I mean he's a total nervous wreck, he's got glasses, and a man bag. He's a total dork! So cute!
Just put together my first mic set (ignore the mess). Hopefully I'll be able to record for audiobooks soon.
Who else is southern but likes to use "big words" when your talking mixed with the normal slang? My parents find it strange I guess. Because they've mentioned it before.
reblog and put in the tags your pet’s name, and the most ridiculous nickname you call them.
