Got all the bucks' feet done. THAT was a chore - they fight. The does don't - not like the bucks. Wrenched my arm - of course. But it's DONE, and that's a big thing.
The milking machine has been all cleaned up, and is awaiting the new clusters. I built the bucks a mineral feeder similar to the does - only I did it without any 4" PVC - just the "clean out" and the 2 lids and adapters. Cheaper - and smaller. There's only 4 bucks, so they didn't need the extra length.
We've got the new nesting box array almost done. What we did, was to take an equipment crate - about 6' x 4' x 1.5 ft - and add the boxes into it. Yes, it's BIG - we'll have 16 12" x 19" nesting boxes when it's all done - and it's HEAVY. The good news is that they can't nest on top of it - it's too tall. No more poop piling up! I also borrowed an idea from
Next up is a new, small coop for chicks - yes, we'll be raising chicks this year. We'll buy broilers, and then try to incubate some eggs, too. I want a bunch of colored-egg layers; I also want some "pretty" birds. Laced Wyandottes, some Spangled, some "blue"...we'll see what kind of eggs I can find.
Then we have to build some more goat toys - the bucks are bored. There's always something to build around here.....
K, I have to agree with your comment about the schools - I've had a problem the last few years, because all they are learning is the "test". :sigh: SG isn't quite there about Herself, yet...I'm hoping the doc will agree with me. :sigh: We have an appointment Tuesday, so...I'll bring it up.
Almost done with Coworker's b-day present - Owl Mittens. Then I have to start on Himself's - a Sonic the Hedgehog hat. THEN I get to do SG's - a Balmoral bonnet. I have the yarn....I just need to DO it. In my spare time....:lol:
