Oh, well, not really.
We are down to one egg-laying hen. She is apparently the smartest one, so that's nice. Eric killed a raccoon on Sunday, thinking it had a chicken in it's mouth. It was a pigeon, so I was bummed; pigeon/raccoon--if it kills pigeons, I say keep the raccoon. It was really big.
Eric got the pond up and running--the filter system has not been tested yet, but we think it should work ;). The ducks finally figured out how to get up into it (it's an old cattle water-er with a liner in it.
The other baby chicks are doing really well. They are not as friendly as the last set, but we haven't spent nearly as much time with them.
The goats are really friendly. Gabby and Deer are wonderful, and will nudge you to pet them (they LOVE a good scratch behind the ears!)
The 10 broilers are loving life--we ran out of time this weekend to finish the butchering, but we did get the garden all ready.
I ended up writing Gurneys an e-mail, asking them to cancel my order. They have all of the information changed for my seeds and plants to be shipped out the 26th of May. :( But, the good news is that I have been given/have found enough seeds to get this garden more than full. I think we'll try to go to the nursery in the next few weeks, and see what they have to offer... for tomato and pepper plants. Oh, and Eric gave me the go-ahead to get Guineas. So I'll be looking into that!
Busy, busy, busy, but oh, so satisfying!!

Hee hee, yeah, it was... a test of masculinity, shall we see? Let's see, what was I up to in the end... PINK scrub pants, purple scrub top, a sweatshirt (or two? it was windy...), and a yellow surgical gown. I looked pretty badass, not gonna lie. Oh, and chicken's heads come off surprisingly easy...
