Granny's gone and done it again

[MrsMistyReal]

Did all the cooking for the group plus cleanup, then came home and cleaned out Jep’s coop (and locked myself in somehow) then tended the other feeders and waterers, then cleaned the porch brooder, then set up a pool for Fluttershy in the old hona coop and let her out for the day. I have 5 scovy eggs so far, hoping for maybe 5 more before she sets.

The “poop” (composted bedding) side of the farm looks better than the other. Could also be because the helpers mixed the soil parts in the bed instead of the wheelbarrow, so there may be no nutrients there. I’m going to add fertilizer. I have 10-10-10, should I use that or something else?

Josie helped and laid down by herself. We had worked on that before, laying down around the littles, so I think she’s retaining knowledge somewhere in there. But right after this she bolted to chase Jim; I was able to call her off, and thankfully she was tethered in as well. So there’s more work to be done. Please ignore the feed sacks, I’m saving the for Mollie’s mom.

This little hona roo already has silver leakage. I’m thinking of letting him be the roo for the banties. I always regretted not keeping one with silver on him.

I added the cup waterer and another feeder, and now it looks like a playground. If it ever warms up again they’re just about ready to move out.

Yuri got multiple swats as he just can NOT resist stealing puppy toy's if company comes over as he wants them to play fetch in the backyard/swamp. LOTS and LOTS of water sitting on top of the perma-frost layer.

Big article in the paper yesterday about spring planting being delayed because of the weather well no chit Sherlock.

Somebody needs a nap

momma got swatted I finally caught her sneaking the pup's toys out. One of the pup's has taken over the built in feed box for his bed/bedroom currently they are sort of passed out from being so busy destroying the clean pen. Paper everywhere.

They want you to remain active Good pups

How many do they have? Ours rarely barked... the other dogs would bark for them!

Five. And then the rottie, spaniel and very old retriever.

Emu eggs are worst

well the banks aren't open today anyway. BUT I will go and do that now , as I am finally caught up. and then I might challenge the sucker chair to attempt to cast a spell on me.

never had. The only emu I ever had was as a steak and then they coated it in "blackening seasoning" so didn't eat most of it any way. SOB's should of had that in the menu danger Will Robinson were are going to fark up your steak with HOT peppers.

BUT the meat is very red and dense. Flavor I honestly wouldn't know.
