That's ok. Glad the goats are doing good.

Have the HRIR started to lay yet?

Getting ready to take off for work.

No, but Fred and Cmom said 30-38 weeks on the heritage RIR.

so...with our decreasing daylight, do you expect them to begin to lay before February?

edited to add:
I have eleven Australorp with only two laying, the others might delay until late March

Sorry you had to leave the game last night. How's the little one doing?

Fine.. the benedyrl seemed to help - he got eaten by fire ants yesterday, so he was a real grouch last night.

Poor kiddo- those bites hurt!

Poor kiddo- those bites hurt!

yes they do. Hopefully, he's learned to leave dirt piles alone

He was riding his bike on our cement/parking area.... and they apparently due to the flooding, pushed their ant hill onto the edge of the cement... he got off his bike and thought "LOOK DIRT TO PLAY IN" not realizing they were ant hills. I didn't see them, but they are now destroyed.

my birds won't eat ants. I wish they would.

Only reason I bought it was 'cause I couldn't pull the compound anymore, before the shingles. I wasn't any good with the compound, anyway.

Yeah i hear you. I used a kids bow for years cuz i couldn't pull back a adult one with my shoulders. I was good with it.... But eventually couldn't pull it back anymore....
