Pennsylvania!! Unite!!

Oh, almost forgot. I bought a goat at the auction Wed. Pepper hasn't managed any escapes yet, but she's little. We cage at night & tie out during the day. Thinking she's a nubian/pygmy cross. She needs a friend if anyone has 1 REALLY cheap!

I've been haunting craigslist for another since my 3 boys can't handle the amount they're supposed to be eating. There are some pretty cheap up here, but I don't know about by you.
How much did you pay at auction?
 
more pics....folks I could do this everyday,,,,,even though the farm is work, it is also my sancuary, I am at peace when I am there..


That far corner of the run is where we plan on putting a tree or two,,,it is the only spot that never has shade




this one is for sally, this garden is small compared to most years




doesn't matter where i go they follow,,,,,this is why i laugh when people call leghorn skittish,,,,never had one like that.




meat in the makin.




back porch and side yard....driveway needs a load of stone.




2 young roosters,,,very pretty and friendly for now,,,,they are from swap eggs so no clue what they are,,any one take a guess




Yes it is dirty and need cleaning,,,please don't laugh at the crooked corners,,,this is the inside of the small coop that I built 3 years ago when I got laid off for 6 months....could i get some suggestion on what to put in front of those nest boxes to keep them from kicking everything out,,,i have tobacco lathe across the opening now and if i go higher not sure some of the bigger birds will fit.




ignore the junk sitting around, men tend to do that.......this is my favorite spot to be in the evening,,,,see that lonely tree out there, the sun goes down there,,,it is a perfect ending to the day to sit and watch that.
 
I messaged the NPIP vet. This is what she had to say:
"

If you need to be NPIP clean to sell hatching eggs out of state, we can make it work for you. It is a lot of work to be on the program, but you get the status of being NPIP clean. That means a lot.

If you can santitize your hatching areas, keep the birds separate from other birds (if free range, netting is recommended, but not required), test on time, and follow the rules, you can be on the program. We do have some very small hatcheries on the program already."

So I guess I could do it and free-range...
 
FML Why can people not be adults???? Please note, I understand that there are certainly valid reasons for divorce, my first husband and I were separated for more years of our marriage than we were together, having said that, we had no children.

My step-son bought tickets to see Gettysburg at the Majestic Theater on Wednesday evening. Unfortunately (or rather fortunately, considering he's been unemployed for 3 years) he started a new job on Monday, and has to work today. They live in DE So coming up for the movie wasn't reasonable. Sunday we were at the park with step-daughter, her husband (sort of) and 5 kids. DH was talking about how we were going to the movie in step-son's stead. Her husband said step-daughter should go with us. So, we bought her a ticket. She came over and we headed down to Gettysburg. Movie ran from 7:30 to 12:30. We stopped at the diner for dinner, as when we got to Gettysburg, there wasn't time for dinner. She texted husband and he claimed she was out partying. With her father???? This fight escalated to her moving the kids back into our house. Note, this house isn't built for 8....it's barely built for 4! So now all my plans to do things like tear up the carpet in the dining room....and redo the bathroom and kitchen....are being put off once again. As much as I'm whining because DH and I need our space and won't have it now. I'm whining because the supposed "adults" are behaving like children, and these kids have yet MORE upheaval in their lives. They have bounced around more in the last 3 years than I did as a military brat, and I still had a stable homelife despite not having a stable home. At least the kids know we love them, and they are welcome here.
 
Quote: She was $45, which was more than I wanted to pay. I was after bottle babies & they kept selling them all with the mothers instead of separating them. I was getting ticked so just grabbed the next doe that came out so I could leave. JJ & the kids were on my last nerve. Next time they all stay home & I go alone!!!

With his acting like a jerk, being unemployed, making idiotic accusations, etc. she & the kids are most likely better off without him. Help her get on her feet & send her & them to a new home of their own (even if it's gov't assisted housing so she can afford it). You need your space too & it's always difficult to combine households. I'm not mean, just practical. I've tried living with my parents as an adult with kids of my own (kids are still at home so haven't had any return with their kids yet) & it was a disaster. I no longer even speak to said set of parents due to all of the crap they pulled while I was there. Not saying you can't get along, it's just hard on everyone involved.
