Homesteading
Due to some ongoing issues with my truck along with other stuff, the barn and goats are put on hold for a few months. I seriously need to get a second vehicle and between that then the car payment I won't have enough to get plans drawn up for the barn so I can start tearing the shed down.
Instead next month or so I'll be getting the chickens a new coop so their current one will be just a run for rainy days thus it won't matter if its covered or not. Will probably sell these current birds sometime in March when they hit two years old before ordering replacements. Partridge rock, Delaware, Australorp, Sussex, and another Easter egger. Only Lucy & Mina (Naked Necks) and Sarah (Easter egger reliable) will stay. I hope to bring the numbers up to nine making enough birds to keep warm in our coldest winters still having good layers.
If things change or I get the job at my current employment place as a permanent employee, I'll work on that barn right away. Still up in the air about being put on the list for both kinds of goats...hm.
