That's why I did it...... I think it's worth it in the long run. I was adding it all up the other day and I've spent over $500 on birds just this year  and it's only March!  
 

It's gotta be fresh goat milk. That crap in the can you find at the store just doesn't work the same. I wish you were coming down my way julie. I've got some frozen colostrum in the freezer from the goats. I keep it in there just in case we need it for puppies or baby goats. oh and by the way for those of you who make goat cheese let your chickens have the whey mine drank it up when I had some and it's packed with vitamins.

What about the goats milk in the refrgerated section? If not I found some on craigslist that can deliver close to me during the work week, but I still need to get esbilac for this weekend.

I tried to vent sex and I think she is s girl but I will check again in a couple days.  She still is kinda wobbly on her legs so she is in the dog kennell with her stuffed bunny.  Gave her some food and water and came back five minutes later and she had fallen into the mash food and was covered with it so she had to have a quick rinse off and back into the incubator for a nice warm dry time.

Chickens and Pigs both love it.  Oh, and dogs and cats and most of the poultry in general!

What kind of cheeses do you make?  I stilck to mesophilic starters (although I make lemon cheese all the time, we love it), but I've mad lactic cheese, and yogurt cheeses too.  I've never made thermophillic yet, but I'm interested.  I've got a press, but I only make 2 lbs cheeses, it's not big enough for 5s.
 

My front running african has externally pipped!!  It's a big pip too!!  My 219g toulouse is right behind him, working hard at the shell!!!

More pics of my new babies.

And the whole gang together:

Isn't it funny how we get excited about feed shopping?
 

i just had some weirdo email me asking if i had any duck calls because his wife needed one.

like wth!!

Look what I got! Hubby's uncle was working and had to cut down a limb that had fallen part the way on a roof. There was a nest and these 2 fell out so he brought them to me. Love baby squirrels, it's been years since I had one. They are fun, but man they have some sharp claws.

I've got 10 Top Show Quality Silkie ducklings coming from Holderread. Haven't heard anything on a ship date yet, but i'm super excited and would like some of all the colors hope I get a good selection. At least by getting the TSQ I'm guaranteed silkie feathered ducklings.
