What a difference having the sun out makes, everything just seems so much easier when the weather is nice.
I’ve just come up from the goat pen where I’ve been watching baby goat kids feet kicking, they’re due on the 11th of June so getting close now.
This morning I went out for all the animal feed [...]

Disappearing links
Posted in About nothing really, tagged Blogroll, links on May 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
All of my links have disappeared, I don’t know what has happened to them. They were there when I looked the other morning and then not that afternoon, I have played round with my wordpress setting but can’t work it out.
They should be there!

Stupid birds
Posted in Quail on May 22, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
It often amazes me how long birds have lasted when they so often seem to have a complete lack of common (or anything kind of) sence.
Mrs Goose’s eggs started to hatch yesterday, she has been sat very well on them for a month now and been doing what a mother goose should be, until the first gosling appeared damp and [...]
A new lease of life

I’m really starting to feel the effects of the B12 injections, I haven’t had this much energy for ages.
I was working today but so far this evening I have weeded the vegetable garden, collected nettles for the goats, earthed up so potatoes and planted some more out. It doesn’t look as much as it feels [...]

The part I hate

Hakin died on Thursday.
I guess the more animals you have, the more are going to die at some stage and for lots of different reasons. And some reasons you are going to know, and others you aren’t.
I can fully understand why some people won’t keep animals.

Well after over a year of blogging and many requests I have finally started a ‘my goat’ page, it is this far from finished and the photo’s aren’t great (I have very disobedient goats who don’t seem to understand that a camera isn’t food) but it is there is anyone would like to have a [...]

Silver Dorking Hatch
Posted in Chickens, tagged chicks, Silver Dorking on May 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I think it is almost time to give up on the Silver Dorking eggs that I have in my new incubator, something should of happened by now.
I’m disappointed, I was really looking forward to having chicks and the start of building up my flock
