Looking back at my posts from that past few Easters, we usually have goat kids by now. Unless something happens in the next three hours, not this year. We definitely are on high alert for signs of impending births. Will tonight be the night?
I got really excited to find turkey eggs this week. These were nestled in the hayshed between some straw bales.
I got really, really excited when I discovered Dolly sitting on some eggs in the hay, about six rows high in a pretty protected spot. Then was disappointed to discovered that she really isn't setting, just laying eggs up there. Next, we found Polly sitting on more eggs on top of the straw - she's practically in the rafters- eight rows high!. She left the eggs, then came back. They may have all gotten too cold, we will just have to wait and see. I also have a broody chicken hen in the winter coop too - sure seems like we will get some chicks out of all of this.
If you are a local you know we had a bunch of snow on Friday and there is more coming. No outdoor Easter Egg hunts for kids around here!
In other turkey news, two of the four toms have moved on to a new home so it's a little quieter around here - only a little though!
Forest and Ranger are not enthused...
That's all I have for tonight. Really sorry I do not have kids news for you, but it will be soon. Be well friends - easy on those jelly beans!
