I lost 4, five week olds to a huge hawk.

I've scared him a couple of times and haven't seen him in almost a week.

Hatching eggs for interested parties.
A Mahonri mix

My 2nd Ameraucana roo (gorgeous splash blue wheaten) is doing his thing now. Now I just need to get all of the girls laying.

A lady at church said that she would pay$6. plus for organic range chicken eggs. I know a lady who raises goats that feels raw goat milk from her farm will reach $10 a gal before the year is out and I personally think we will all see eggs get close to $10 a dozen. organic yellow peppers were $2.69 each last week , We all need to think about selling veggies and eggs to pay for our chicken and turkey habit.

I used to buy goat milk for my dog (dog was very sick and thin ns I had to soak his food in goat milk to fatten him up) but I paid $3 per 2-liter for it.

I hate insomnia.

It's going to be a LONG week.

Wow! That was $6.00 a gal. I guess $ 10. a gal this year might be a reality. We need a goat for the kids. they have protein allergy's on a ton of stuff. gluten, milk, nuts, soy. goat milk seems okay. our first goat comes in March....the 8 yr old is the only one who has gotten the hang of milking so far. we go to the place 2 to 3 times a week to learn

DM,
you know that you will have baby goats

in order to get milk? So you also need a Billy and then you'll keep the youngsters for more milk... I see where that is going

Mahonri, maybe you scared it into getting food somewhere else and it went over to pastrymama...
