@ChickenCanoe I hope your trip went well. How are the birds?
@MotorcycleChick Good day!
@Sally Sunshine Here is a prayer that you hurt less today. Thanks for all the goat images. I will post tater an important note for those of you like me that have goats and are learning based on what happened with Daisy Mae.
@kwhites634 I hope the build is going well today. You are better than me. I quit fencing it is too hot.
@Ur-ur-ur-urrr Nice to see your birds, and yes according to the seller mine are Hortsman cross reds.

Good afternoon everyone!

I made several hours of progress yesterday morning & evening while it was comparatively cool. Did the same this morning; knocked off when it got too hot; get after it when the ball game's over. Should be starting to cool off by then. If not, the work will still be there tomorrow. Heat stroke's no fun.

Thank you, and yes, this is why they named him this. They name their children from their meanings. I am impressed that you noticed this. I have to wonder what nick name he will go by.

Beaver. "The Beave"

Ok, this looks really good. As long as it isn't too spicy. Guess we can make it as spicy as we want...as someone asked..recipe?

If you google 'avocado deviled eggs' you'll get at least 6 different versions.
What I love about this kind of thing is you can get creative, there are so many right ways and few wrong ways unless you get heavy handed with some ingredients.

When I made my goat birria, I was a little heavy handed with the apple cider vinegar but a little agave nectar helped correct that.
I'll know better next time. And I didn't know how to tell the butcher to cut the shoulder so I'll have him cut 3" slices next time rather than the sub 1" pieces this time.

Was a great trip but longer than I'm used to. The birds look good from what I could tell transferring them from one crate to another last evening. My 2 roosters from 2013 that she gave back to me look good and may help the breeding program. They are at least as nice as the 3 I have left from the predator attacks.
What I'm most grateful for and excited about are the 4 younger birds hatched April 22.
1 pullet and 1 cockerel are completely unrelated to my birds, except for the fact that all birds in the US came from 2 or 3 importations.
Another pullet is from one of the roosters I got back and one of her hens.
I haven't had a good chance to look them over yet. I still haven't worked out the quarantine process but they'll stay in crates on the patio during the day and on the back porch at night for a couple more days till I get housing worked out and I talk to the NPIP people (Tony Perryman) to see when they're coming to test my flock. I called and left a message Friday afternoon so I'll probably talk to them tomorrow.
The other pullet is from the other rooster and a different one of her hens. So those pullets are really valuable in that regard.

I applied it on a lot of the cracks, but one side luckily had no cracks... so I think we may get lucky, as long as the insides develop properly.

The egg that appears the most viable, is from our cochin hen, she's the roosters favorite too.

Sound good. I think mine was about 40% covered with cracks and bandage - but it was all sides.

Day game for the Os?
Cards have split the series so far with the A's.
Trouble is it never cools down here until about 5 in the morning. And I have SOOO much to do.

I called a place here that will euthanize the chick but it will cost me $55!!!!

Rainy Sunday afternoon.

Quote: Yeah, day game in NY. Yankees tore them a new one the last two nights.

That doesn't surprise me at all. A strong shears or axe is much cheaper, fast and just as humane.

Cards beat A's 3-1 Friday and lost last night 3-2. Hope they win the rubber game that starts in about 15 minutes.

@Sally Sunshine@Chaos18@campingshaws@mlm MikeHey guys and anyone else with goats especially dairy goats. I wanted to take a minute to share what I learned at the expense of the doe with my favorite tasting milk. I hope you can learn from me and the twenty twenty hindsight.
First, if you have a dairy goat that has a single be aware it may not nurse enough for the doe. Daisy was a first freshener with a single doeling. She always looked even though she leaked some especially from the right teat(beware of that leakage can lead to mastitis). She should have been milked all along. I will pull babies half a day or at least milk once a day in the future, and anytime I see leakage.
Second, I was given a dry treatment. I did a wet treatment for one with success, the dry was not successful. Beware that needs to be done if it is used closer to a natural drying up.
If it grows larger or hard milk it out anyway especially if it is gunky early. I was told to treat it and leave it. To be fair the vet did not see it get much bigger, and I did not know enough. When it started getting hard I took her back no matter what (note she was very sick during this time and we were treating a life threatening condition). After that visit I was to apply a hot towel daily for at least ten minutes and then milk all the gunk out I could. Not enough would come out even with a towel and message. Friday the front section burst like an absess. I had to get gloves clean out what I could and flush it with peroxide. I have lost that side of her udder most likely, but she is surviving.
Just check regularly and milk if you see dripping. Her udder LOOKED entirely NORMAL when I pulled her ten week old doeling, but it DIDN'T FEEL NORMAL when I went to milk.
End of warning.
Warning nasty picture of gunk. Thick, tacky, but not smelly.
