ROBIN! I NEED A BIG BIG BIG FAVOR! Ok, it's not a favor, just a question that I hope you can answer, or any one else for that matter... I was thinking of grabbing a bag of clover and greens seeds from TSC, its for drawing deer actually, but supposed to spread and cover. I have an area around the coop and where the ducks were that has been completely decimated of all vegetation thanks to the ducks joy of rooting. Now, I could replant grass or something, but I was thinking maybe this clover mix would be nice instead. I'd have it fenced off to keep the birds out of it until it was started and took root well and was at least up over my ankles before I let the chickens back in that area. Would that be a good idea? Would it hold up to the chickens? It'll also be then in the area I will be ranging meat birds come later spring...

Well, not Robin, LOL but I've been doing lots of reading on forage for pastures. Clover is what I'm going to seed in the goat pasture as it's hardy and lots of good nutrients. I'd certainly grab it. We did rye seed down here and it was lush until it got hot and then just melted away. Couldn't take the heat of Oklahoma. I'm going to plant some in wire covered boxes in the run and also some clover if I can find it down here.

Savannah, I hope you all are okay. I saw where the tornado came through (near?) Hattiesburg. I'm hoping you didn't get hit!!!!!

How about a mix of both the clover and the rye? Think it could work?

No tee, I do not work tonight. I am already done with Sunday's and the Flashes for the day. WOOT! Yes, it sure did make for some icey roads. I could have ice skated on some of them. Not kidding. Was a bit nerve wracking. No work for me until Tuesday now.

YEAH! On the eggs Savannah! Soon you will be having eggs come out your ears!

Silver! I was just thinking about not having seen you again for several days, then I get online and see you've posted! Will be nice when you are back around more often.

I'd love to have a grass back in also where the birds range. I can't believe how much damage those darling ducks did. As much as I miss their funny little faces and antics, I do not miss the work I had to keep them happy. I think if I had had a real pond, or even had the money to make a pond for them, it would have been so much nicer. I don't think I would have had to pen them to keep them from going in the stream across the street.

I need a dentist... I broke a back tooth... .It doesn't hurt but when I got to looking in my mouth, I can see that it is actually from under the gum in the back.. I guess that means they were impacted to begin with? Anyway, I am lucky to not have lost any teeth yet. Both my sisters have had their wisdoms and the teeth next to them removed. My older sister has had more than that removed, and front dental work. My younger has had wisdom, the ones next to on both sided tops and bottoms. We are a family of soft teeth... My dad had lost most of his teeth by the time he was 40. Both my grandparents, I can remember when we moved to MI from FL, both has falsies, top and bottom... Several cousins the same way... Well... Dang... Anyway, it is the wisdom on me, the ones next to them look ok on the bottom, but on the tops I think I am going to have to have the top back 4 out, 2 on each side... bummer... Does that mean I will have more room to stuff cake in then?

Anyway, need to get the kids teeth and faces washed and hit the sack.

Have a good night all!

That's good. I have to work tomorrow and the worst part of my drive will be in the first 10 minutes. Oh, and look, it's to be windy out, too. Up to 50mph winds and ice. This will be fun.

Ah, the wisdoms. Had my bottom 2 out about 13 years ago. My DS is waiting to see if his dental insurance will cover getting his done right now. Dentist wants to get them all, but his insurance is super picky about wisdom removal. I think they will okay the bottom 2 since they are coming in sideways and creating bone loss to the ones next to them, but the lady submitting the claim said they usually will not do anything unless there is discomfort or pain. 6 week wait to see, but we scheduled it in case they okay it. DD needs them done, too, but they are waiting til May to send her so it won't interfere with school.. She has discomfort so they will do them for her.

Have a good night everyone.

Good morning everyone. Wow you are all getting some nasty weather! And yes the rye grass docent do heat very well, we are getting ready to plant Bermuda and Kentucky blue grass over our rye for summer! But if you want a fast growing grass rye is the way to go! And depending on how warm it gets where you are, you will have a nice deep green grass until heat hits it! Worth a try! Think the clover is a great idea too. Is clover expensive? Never thought about it. And yes I'm sure I'm going to be swamped with eggs soon, but it's so awesome to get the eggs! I'm really enjoying our chickens. Hope you all have a great day!

So happy to see you on here, Savannah. It looks like Mississippi got a whole path of tornadoes hitting it.

Taking our oldest female goat into the vet today. She's very listless and not eating - never a good sign in a goat. I'm thinking she has a urinary tract infection. It's not going to be fun because she's very obstinate (and heavy) so getting her in the back of the Element won't be easy much less walking her into the vet's where there are probably going to be dogs. She'll freak out.

[Savannah Soliz]

Silver, hope the goat is ok, hate it when a animal is sick! They can't talk and tell us what's wrong!

KIM!!! Your pink skinned grand silkie laid her first egg! Well, she laid one yesterday, that I didn't see, and she laid one today too!

This weather is nuts. I have a puking headache... the kid didn't have school today... don't know why... but, I am only the POWER that BE HERE... not at the school...

So, what's the verdict on the goat, Gigi?
