It's been a while!

It's been a while since I've entered in a blog. We've just been so busy as a family, that I've not had enough time!!

Last weekend we got a little Boer goat! We named her Nu-Nu, and weren't sure if we were going to keep her. Well, we are!! She's fantastic. Stays in the yard, follows us around, is curious about everything that we do. She also enjoys the chickens company. As you can tell by the pictures. I think she likes the nesting boxes more than the chickens do!! We lost 1 chicken last week, our only barred rock girl that we had. RIP little girl where ever you may be.

We are in the process of waiting on anywhere from 1-6 chicks hatching in the next day or so, and I'm hoping it's tomorrow! A couple of Americana, Black Copper maran, Cuckoo Maran. Than, a week or so later, we will have a turkey and a few ducks!! I'm very excited about this hatch. We are finally getting things going as well. I have 1 customer already that's asking for my eggs!!! GREAT!!

Josh is working on getting the chicken coop up. We are extending the smaller one we acquired from someone. It will be about 12' long by about 6 feet wide. I'm going to see if we can't find some sand to put in the bottom of it. It might be cheaper than buying some more wood for a floor.  Just some wood for the sides and the top along with a HOPEFULLY metal roof. Than we can continue on from there.

Fall is approaching fast, and we can tell with all the waterfowl. Day by day there are more coming in. Our ducks are still enjoying the lake, but won't be able to have that luxury very long, as hunting season is coming up! We don't want anyone gone. I found one of the female ducks in the nesting boxes today, and I'm hoping that she might think about laying sometime soon. Our little baby reds (and they're not babies any more...) are beginning to think about laying as well.

Not much else is going on in the little Reese Farm. Much to do now!! Dinner is probably burning.... I think I can smell it.... Off to the kitchen than to the workplace!
