Helpful hints for building coops

Yeah, flu is mostly gone but still out of shape. The hills kill me.

just wait until you get old like me, then even the flat land kills you.

Started building another bunny condo. Pictured upside down.

You can see the goat shed in the distance

You can't be doing that outside,
there is no snow !!

we gave the puppies worm medicine today and
moved them out to the vacant chicken coop.
I have a heater in there. when I checked in on them they were sleeping in the sun coming through the window.

we sold two of them today, six to go..
the two girls went to a meat goat/sheep/hog farm west of Madison, Wisc.. Tot hill farms.

Yeah, our ice and snow melted! But we are going to be getting a lot of rain. The river is already looking muddy from that ice storm we had.
I got the pieces cut and painted for the 3 dividers of the bunny condo. The ends are ready for wire. So hopefully tomorrow i can build the 4 doors and finish the front. Looking forward to finishing it up.

we are happy to see them go.
I wish I could keep all of them,
we spent a lot of time with these 8 little squirts.. lots of cuddle time.
they all learned to be cradled upside down and have their tummies rubbed.
that sure came in handy today when we gave them each a spoonful of medicine.
I cradled each one and it was easy to force
their mouth open and pour the med in..
it must have tasted good because none of them tried spitting it out..

I need to get my Shepherd's hips done. We will hopefully have one litter from her.

good morning,
the pups are doing fine in the chicken coop.
their water did not freeze despite it being just below zero during the night.
I emptied a whole bag of their feed into the feeder I built for chicken feed. it seems to be working fine for the dry dog food.
If the food is there 24/7 they won't over eat.

cappy, if your dog has that hip displacia. (or whatever it is called) I am betting that the vet will advise against breeding her..
it is an inherited condition.
people ask me often if our dogs are inspected for it.. yes they are..
you might have trouble selling pups because of it..
not trying to burst your bubble. just sayin;..

She has no problem, she needs to be xrayed to be certain. Wouldn't breed if there were an issue. I used to show, i know about these things but thanks.

that is good, then,.
I don't know what other people are aware of.
I didn't know when we started selling pups.
we learn as we go.
I hope you can find a nice mate for her..

My daughter's boy friend has a mangy type cross breed. he wanted me to let my dog mate his female.. I told him, no way. there are enough mutts already,. I'm not going to contribute to that problem..
my dogs are purebreds and they have a purpose..
Now I have to go call Delta airlines to see what the shipping charge will be to send a pup to Florida..
