Hello Readers,
I’m called "Blue Bird" and I’m "Heritage’s" sister, and I’m here to fill in the blanks.
We have had a baby goat, for the last 2 years, this doe gave birth to twins, but this time she gave birth to only one. It was a healthy birthing and now we have a beautiful baby girl (thank goodness it’s a girl) named Daisy, The other two does (female goats) are still pregnant.
We use to have a bunch of laying hens but they got eaten up by raccoons, so now I’m left with my bandies (small chickens that lay miniature eggs -pretty useless--I added that for moms benefit) which mom can’t stand, not only because my little bandies scratch up our gardens, or lay miniature eggs in the goat hay, but because they don’t lay enough (miniature) eggs in a dedicated spot. Oh, they breed like rabbits. Which reminds me one of my bantie hens (which is setting -incubating- eggs) has hatch one healthy baby chick and one not so good looking baby chick, the not so good looking chick is unable to walk right, it was also neglected by the mother, so right now I have it under a light with food and water in my sisters room - I know my sisters love me - it is cheeping up a storm half the time. If the chick shows no sign of getting better after I write this blog entry then mom and I will talk it over about what we need to do with the little chick, but we hope it gets better.
In the garden:
We do not have a tractor (which every farmer should have) and our ground is still to wet to till. So mom and I are currently working on our raised beds. We have planted a row of peas and spinach together, mom planted some onions (red and white), we also planted lettuce and carrots. We should have started broccoli seeds earlier for transplant, but we didn’t start the seeds at the right time. We covered our paths in the garden with cardboard and old straw. We have seed starts indoors right now of :peppers, lettuce, eggplants, broccoli, and kohlrabi.
