In case you'd like to know why leaving the door open when the goats are out is a bad idea...

This is one of the reasons I don't have goats anymore...they don't respect boundaries lol. I have sheep now, so much better and tasty

I love them the day after Halloween when I can buy them dirt cheap.

Quails like cucumbers, probably would like squash/pumpkins too.

It's no wonder some of my pumpkins are so small

Mine love watermelon, but I don't have any. I'll try cucumbers tomorrow.

Our pastures, pond, and yards are completely flooded all from the rain we’ve gotten today. Our pond was completely dry this morning. This is what it looked like at 5pm. Now it’s where I was standing to take the picture, and we’re still getting heavy rains. The roads to our house are underwater. It’s bad. However, the ducks feel like they are living in paradise.

Happy Saturday everyone!
My chicks are thriving and I have 9 eggs left that I'm incubating for someone else

Not for me.
They haven't started laying eggs yet. Slow pokes. Today is their 6 week birthday.

I'm not really sure. I guess just like decoration or something maybe? I thought maybe I could sell some but they're too small to sell and not very many. Idk, I just like bought pumpkin seeds kinda late in the season and planted them lol they kinda took over

I put a notice in a local FB page and go to town and pick up used pumpkins, straw bales and bagged leaves for the poultry.. They love to eat pumpkins. I use the straw and leaves in the run and garden.. If there are acorns the turkeys love those.

It's called a Kregs tool. Their kinda expensive, especially if you don't use them often.
