Here is what I did today: All a.m. farm chores, feeding watering cleaning, taking care of horses etc.
I never knew just how much work is involved on a farm! Not only hard work, but it takes a lot of TIME, every day I have a list of stuff that needs to be done, (who would have known there would be so much!) and each day I work until dark checking off the list, and there is always more to do the next day!
So then, after normal morning chores here is what we did;
Built goat grain feeder (still have to get a pic of it).
Grained and Vitamin E'd all the girls.
Finished sealing the goat barn roof.
Finished spreading all the straw & fixed barrier.
Got my homemade nestbox out of storage and put it in with the Easter Eggers, filled it with hay.
Took the EE's nestbox and gave it to the White Ameraucanas filled it with hay.
Got an old cabinet from under the house, cleaned it off and screwed a lip on the front and created a nice new nestbox setup for the Ameraucanas. (Got to get pics) Filled with hay.
Moved nestboxes up into the rabbits that are bred and filled them with hay. Yay baby bunnies!
Cleaned out doe pen and created a GIANT compost pile, watered and turned it.
Moved and arranged all the farm totes, to create a tote for: chickens, cats, dogs, fish, blankets, towels, goats, and birthing kit.
Got extension cord, power strip, and heat lamps and bulbs for baby goat barn.
And since I got so much done today I get to go horseback riding tomorrow morning for the holiday and then spend tomorrow cleaning the house. =)
