not too bad, should heal pretty fast.

did the last check of Mocha.

She is being good... silly though... she will let the kids nurse for a little bit, then needs to turn around to look at them and make sure they are OK. Then she let's them nurse a bit more.... then repeat.

But... she isn't spinning like a top... they are getting their fill... so all good. Not too cold tonight.

This is her second time. .. but it has been 2 years since she had kids... the buck didn't get her right last year. Different buck this year.

Good girl Mocha!

Cap, looks like that will heal ok. No matter, it's better than the alternative!


Good morning Pondies.
Busy day ahead. Hope you all have a good one.

Morning all!
Not too terribly busy here. We dismantled the run that was around my little A-frame coop (full sun) and now I am in the process of moving it under the trees behind the rest of the coops. I couldn't use it in the summer where it was. Hoping to get most of it finished before I teach some make-up music lessons today.
Have a great one!

Morning Al. Good Mocha! Glad I kept reading before I posted. When you showed the pic of her curled around her kid I was goin' to ask if you were sure she was done (she didn't look like she was to me). So glad you got two out of three. Had a vet tell me once that sometimes in the case of 3's, close to due date that because of things getting crowded, one can get "squished" into a position where the nutrient supply becomes compromised contributing to a runt or even premature death. Sorry but at least you have two healthy kids.

Hey Phil! 80's really? Wow! We didn't get that hot yesterday, did get to mid 70's at one point. Get any of the rain last night? All we got was a sprinkle and a few hours of lost power. Poot. We needed that the rain. Fire danger is way up. With snow disappearing everything way too brown. Heavy storms to our south and west. The Wolf is at record flood stage and the ice on the inland lakes are still as thick as 22" over by Minocqua. No ice out this far north for the fishing opener this weekend unless we get some super strong sustained winds.

FMF. Congrats on the chickies and everyone else too. No chickies here this year. Full coop and way too many eggs. No broodies either and won't be any . Store it all up for next year girls
Behave yourself Sour!!!!

Cap, glad to see it all went so well

Son & I were going to fish the Wolf this Fall, but now it looks like we'll be going with a guide further South. Son's making all the arrangements; I just show up when & where I'm told.
