Big Day

Big day around here!

Today is my oldests 21st birthday! Wow! I was 7 mths pregnant with him on my 21st birthday.

Wow. Doesn't seem possible.

We brought home 16 new chicks today too. A dozen cornish cross meat birds & 4 pullets they threw in for free for buying chicken feed

We want turkeys too, but they won't be in until Friday.

That's a truly fascinating you say, but why are you blogging about this in the middle of the night>

Well...

We have 2 brand new boer/nubian bucks in the barn! That's why! And we just finished getting them settled into their new world.

We scrubbed 'em dry.

Dipped their navels in iodine.

Gave their mama a nice drink with goat drench mixed in to perk her up.

Made sure each one got a nice drink of colostrum.

And gave them a each a shot of BoSe because one looked a little iffy on his hind legs.

Our area is selenium deficient & we do supplement the goats but sometimes the babies have a few issues & need a shot.

We also put up the heat lamp to keep them warm.

Spring is definitely here in our barnyard!

So HAPPY BIRTHDAY 

to the my favorite oldest boy

And for those of you wondering: The Biscuit is doing great! The swelling is gone & the bruising is fading. God is good!

Blessings!
