Weigh in for Flopsy, she’s gaining weight. Today I left her out with Mr P and his harem. She’s roaming around and Daisy is leaving her alone.

I also trim away the feathers/fluff from about an inch or so, around where I plan on doing the puncture. After I am done I just leave it alone - you won't be able to wipe it down again due to the draining of the fluid as the pressure in the abdomen equalizes. Just make sure the area they are in...
No bleeding, but yes as the pressure on the abdomen exerts itself the fluid will leak out of the puncture until the pressure equalizes. Then the puncture heals over. I just monitor the area and make sure no crud gets stuck there. While the fluid is draining OUT, pathogens are being flushed away...
Oh he's a brat - he was again terrorizing poor Dorothy - it's hilarious really because she more than twice his size. Yet she runs in terror from him, and he runs after her. I had to grab him up and rescue her, I snuggled him and told him I was going to geld him hahaha.
When I put him down...
He's a bit of a jerk right now, but not overly so. He's still small enough the bigger girls kick his butt. Though he was terrorizing poor Dorothy yesterday! and she is normally a higher ranked 'mare' - but she was running away from him and he tried to pin her down. I rescued her, she's not a...
I know what you mean - I am super paranoid - running in and out every couple minutes while doing chores.
You have such a beautiful flock - and your Roo is true eyecandy!
I am having citrus fruit envy! I still might try growing oranges in a container, I know they can be trimmed so they don't...
Oh yes I have one beefsteak last year and it did well also, but with the high heat it also didn't want to ripen - I never heard of such a thing! The chooks particularly love them, those were the 4 plants they decimated when I first got chickens and found out how much they loved eating my garden...
But better than freezing rain - the pellets at least just build up like snow. Freezing rain freezes on contact with any surface. Even the horses - they will come in and their will have icicles hanging off their mane and tails. Bad walking and driving - it's just started here freezing rain as I...
Forgot my darn phone.... not that I really care, but sometimes the guys at work text me (which I get mad about being my personal phone), so if you're texting me CW you won't get a reply :barnie
Thirsty Thursday
Frozen wild water is tolerable they tell me
And check out this fan tail - little grey was so mad at Gomer! She was. Puffed up and warning him! She had just started to relax so it is not as dramatic as it was!
Currently 0C and calling for ice pellets, snow and freezing rain.
Forecast low overnight is -3C, more freezing rain tomorrow morning and then snow/rain forecast high of 6C.
It’s not warm at all. Farmers will be getting a late start this spring.
You would hate it here 😉
It’s basically a forest, red pine white pine black spruce Norwegian spruce… poplars that rain down this fuzzy fluff, maples, oak, beech massive willows!
Weeping Willow - messy tree branches constantly breaking off and falling. The horse keep it trimmed to as high as...
