Spent some time in the barn, took out only 2 storage bins of bedding because i was digging up the dirt, in one of their areas, adding leaves, and removing rocks. Then planting more seed for forage for my goats, and covering the seed with bedding from the barn.
Hubby unloaded the truck, threw the hay bales up in the loft and i stacked the hay. I always cough like crazy around hay, no matter what kind it is. The goats are happy to have hay to eat again.

Granny, you asked about the firewood... hubs and I spent some time stacking, which is actually a lot more work than splitting.

2 bays on the right are loaded. Each bay is 3'x4'x5½' so 66 cubic ft each for a total of 132 cubic feet which is a little over a cord (but since the oak is gnarly and hard to stack tight, it's more like 1 cord).
One cord is 4'x4'x8' = 128 cubic ft.
So if we fill up the wood shed, we'll have 2½ cords.
Based on how much wood is still out front and the fir wood up in back (tree that the power company cut down last summer) which also needs splitting, we'll have way more wood than storage space! Not a bad problem.

Isn't it frustrating how blurry they are?

Welcome, Sunshine! Tell us about your birds.

Thank you! I keep chickens as pets and I am quite new to them, I got my first batch about a year ago. Since then, I have gotten quite a couple more. Here are my favorites:

Here is my showgirl rooster, Hibiscus. (I thought he was a hen, but he ended up being a rooster so that’s what happened with the name!)

Here is Willow, my snuggly rooster !

These are my newest additions, my amber link chicks Hestia, Calypso, and MoonLace. All named after the book series Percy jackson .

I definitely have more hens to even out the roosters, but there are my favorite chickens. Aside from having chickens, I have a dog of my own and also foster dogs. I hope to someday foster rodents as well.
