It has been raining non stop around here. I’ve spent a good deal of time going back and forth to the barn to check and make sure everyone is staying dry(ish). Everyone is hanging out in the barn mostly and making a break for the haybale whenever there is a break in the rain. This is pretty uncommon. Most of the sheep are rarely in the barn.
This is blackouts unnamed sweet little girl all cuddled up in the tire. This is a favorite spot for the babies to lay.
I peaked in quick on the babies today too and was shocked how big the ducklings have gotten. They are as big if not bigger than our month old chicks and they are only a week or so old.
I also decided today was a good day to turn out sweet magnolia with the rest of the herd. She did fabulous! I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to catch her so I let her drag the rope a little while and she didn’t run from me so I took that off. In a couple days I think I can remove her halter too.
Also some exciting news from the bank of bunnies. We should have baby bunnies by tomorrow! Our first time momma Flemish Giant is NESTING!! She has pulled a lot of fur and is piling it up in her box frantically. I’m sure I won’t sleep at all tonight!
So until then we are gonna put some dinner in our bellies and relax as much as we can but considering we are the equivalent of the family waiting in the waiting room for the birth of our next offspring. I doubt much relaxing will take place. Unless your name is Toto.
She has no problem relaxing and taking a nap.
