Brrrr!

Going to be a cold one tonight...they are saying it could get down to -20 degrees F. with wind chill! Making sure everyone has a deep bed of straw or shavings, put tarps up on the outside sections of the rabbit cages, will lock the chickens and dogs in tonight...now wondering if the goats will be warm enough in solid stalls with deep bedding.  Posting on goat board to find answer.
Ideal finally called me today! Chicks and ducklings will ship 4/27...I think that will be a good time.///will be warm enough to put them in the coop once they feather out. Going to pick up some EE chicks from a freind this weekend....have a feeling they will be in the house for a while LOL
Looks like the calves I am getting will be born in the next week or 2...hoping it warms up enough that they don't get chilled on the trip home.  Need to get something built for my pickup so I can haul them home.
The nubian does were bred 2 weeks ago...going to wait one more week to see if they took or not then they will come home.  Should have kids end of June :)  Here is a photo of all of them this summer.
And here is Peyton (grandson) with Fayline (front) and Fawn. These two girl love him...they come up and nuzzle with him -when they don't have hay in front of thier face LOL
