Musical Barns

Today was a moving day here on the homestead.

We moved the turkey poults out of the brooder in the puppy room into a cage in the henhouse.

They will now face the cold, cruel world without the comfort of a heat lamp.

But they can make so many friends in the henhouse & it is so much sunnier ;)

We also moved our rabbits.

A  few weeks ago we acquired a large, stacking cage unit for them.

So this morning we moved out some of the old cages, shoveled & swept & cleaned out the rabbitry & moved the new cages in.

We filled the feeders, hung the waterers & moved everybody into their new homes.

It is looking pretty spiffy in there now.

We have 2 litters of kits due this week so we wanted to get them settled before the blessed events.

I moved the goats around last week. We had our milking doe & her bucklings seperated from everyone else. But our doe is older & the stress of milking & raising the bucklings was too much for her & she started to look really unhealthy so we decided to stop milking her for now.

She is one who just puts it all into the milk & as she has gotten older it is starting to be too much.

So I moved all of the goats back into the big corral & barn. They are still figuring out their pecking order but things are settling down.

I have yet to put up the electric fence out front for the horse but will probably do that this week. There is much yummy grass awaiting her :)

Our weather has been cold & gray & soggy for ever it seems. Very little sun. My peas have been the same size for weeks  & my asparagus keeps getting frozen out.

We are down to the last pathetic bits & pieces of our fire wood so it had better warm up soon !

Maybe the sun will come in June...

I recently realized that my visitor counter is gone from my blog.

I have no clue how to get it back :(

Change is for the birds ;)

Blessings.
