Yay for a new chicken coop! Go DH!

Can't wait for Duncan to come home! He's gonna be disappointed if he doesn't get any action this year! But, sounds like you've got it all planned out. I wish my goats listened to my plans!

Lol I don't currently have any fence testers so they should! And he's young, he can wait a year lol. I'd give him a job but Patty really needs next year off.

Over past 1.5 yrs I've watched you evolve from hating chickens, not wanting any goats or goat chores, to liking and wanting "all of it". Your hormones are rampant, in a good way, IMO. Life has a way of reforming all of us & family growth seems to have mellowed you.

Glad you found a new buckling....guess we get to see him "soon"? And you have plans for a couple year out! As a goat lover, glad you found your inner calling. I say this while watching 3 of mine munching happily on the neighbors hay field OK. Need to find that escape route!

I still hate chickens lol. That's why I'm glad DH only wants to keep like 10 of them! But I like eggs. But I've had goats for 5 years, I needed some down time is all

The only pic I have of him is from the breeder's website, so I'll share a pic when I have one. I don't like to post other people's pics without permission

We all need a break now and then. Just glad to see you "back on top" of your life plans. You are doing well!!

I also have seasonal depression so life is better in April! Should have my buckling mid May

We decided on the hoop coop for the chickens, will start work on that as soon as some mud dries.

We had Easter dinner at my parents. Roast beef. Oh my gosh, my taste for meat is back (except chicken, still ew) and it was delicious! Now I want to raise a beef steer... mmm....

 

[frustratedearthmother]

LOL! That's the one critter that I have no desire to raise....unless maybe a really tiny one. Pygmy cows anyone?

I want to raise a Jersey steer! hubby says no. :grumble:

 

[NH Homesteader]

Yes! I want a Jersey too and so far DH says no too lol
