COOL! Thanks WZ!

..and in other small farm news, I noticed that both of the goats are already waddling - only 2 months into gestation. One of them looks like a large football in the tummy area. Doesn't help that's she's brown. It's gonna be a looong winter :lol:

:ya Yes! We got our first duck egg this morning. Small and covered in poo, but it was in their coop. These ducks were from a June 1 hatch and i was starting to think they would wait until spring.
And about half of the chickens are laying again, so that's a relief. 8 eggs a day out of 14 hens for the last few days.

I have learned to watch my hands when feeding the piranhas, er... goats in the morning. Good think i had my work gloves on or I would have lost a few fingers. The way they rip into that hay is a little scary :D I'm just glad there was s fence between us. i need a sign that says something like "beware of the hormonal goats"

Congrat's on the egg!!! My girls are moulting. It kinda looks like someone got eaten down there. Feathers everywhere. I can't wait for my eggs to com back.

Have a great day!!

:lol: My Ginger looks like a football, too! And eating like a ....fish.

Congrats on the duck egg....mine seem to ALWAYS lay their eggs in poo. Isn't that just the duck way? Only the broody one has them in a nest and since I've been taking them she tries to hide where she lays them. Why does the first egg get us so excited? We knew it was coming. But I did the happy dance for my little green EE egg appearing the other day, too.

The egg was totally covered in frozen poo :p I'm just glad it was in the duck house and not on the ground where I expect to find 99% of them :rolleyes: Silly ducks.

My June girls haven't started yet. It's been cold and cloudy so they might not start unless we get some more sunshine.

I take that back....I found a hidden nest this morning :D There was a little egg in with the big monster eggs! Also hubby got a double yolker for breakfast so it looks like the newbies are on the assembly line!
