Preparing for fall and Growing the Farm

     Yesterday we got about 50 or 60 meat chickens from our friend and her dad. I know we have no room for them all but if we can get the roosters of the bunch to slaughter stage it will help us food wise for the winter.  The hens can give us more eggs too but the price of food will go up also. 
This is only a few of the new chickens we got .


     The baby pigs are growing so fast. They are a month old tomorrow. They get out everyday and eat the goats food.  But now the pen is wired shut so they can't get in there. We need to sell a few of the un-registered ones to make room for the ones who are and breed more registered ones. If anyone is looking to have a hog roast let me know.

     Yesterday I borrowed one a Rex bunny to breed with our rabbit Sugar. I sure hope this time we get some babies. They are the same breed. The Rex bunnies are so soft and thick velvety fur. They are great pets for children on up to elderly folks. They make great pets. They are easy to take care of and can be trained to live in the house.
Sugar has a box for her soon to be babies.


     The goat pen needed mending again. Jacob has smashed into it enough again to break the wiring around the bottom most of the way on two sides. He was escaping and coming up to the front door. While we were wiring I got into a nest of fire ants again, this will be the second time this weekend. The rain has driven them out of the ground everywhere.
Chloe checking out the wire job!

Jacob is mad now that he can't escape.
Ant Attack Ouchy!


     We have started on the girls section of the house. Getting ready to put in windows. Hopefully we can get all the window work done.
