If you're looking for some awesome goat milk soaps, goat milk lotions and whipped tallow lotions for the holidays, please visit Sunflowers & Stitches 🥰
I really love this stuff, I have sensitive skin and it doesn't make me break out at all!
Small batches, quality ingredients and she has so many scents to choose from!
I just stocked up for a while 😁

Kune Kune Ham Steak Schnitzel with mushroom cream sauce, baked potatoes and Prince Charles blend veggies 😋
We shared 1 and still didn't finish it 🤣

The first of many long socks and leggings under thick sweats with a shirt, hoodie, scarf and windbreaker kinda chore day 🥶
Brought some hot water out to mix in with the water at the outside hydrant so it doesn't freeze immediately, rabbits got warm bottles too 😊
Everyone is in top top shape so as long as they have access to unfrozen water for at least a bit every day they're golden 🥰
Even Midge grew her coat back right in time 🤣

We have some eyeballs!!! 😍
Polo lost her little runt and has what looks to be 4 Chinchillas, a Silver Martin a Castor, a Broken Castor and a Broken Black Otter, some might possibly be harlequinized 😁
Harpie's 3 are MASSIVE, looks to be 2 Self Black and a Broken Black 😁
Should be able to s*x them in 2 or so weeks and I already have a wait list going for these ❤️

All the water buckets are cleaned and put away for the winter, the rubber pans are out and ready 😅
I drained and put away the hose for the pigs and got my cart with 5 gallon jugs out for them.
Also fixed 2 of my auto close gates as the counter weight wire had given out, then leveled the mud around the gates so they open better again.
Eggs are collected, everyone is locked in for the night, rabbit bottles are in the house overnight so they won't freeze.
We're well versed in winter prep and adjustments by now, we've been through a few already 🥰
Busy day of hard work but we're ready for whatever 💪

Well that was a workout I didn't ask for this morning clearing a layer of ice snow in all my 12 bird runs 🫠
Thank goodness I knocked the snow build up off the tops yesterday 😅
Let the MudFest begin 🤮

Already had to knock the snow off the top fences of all my runs 😑
It's accumulating quickly here 🥴😮‍💨

We were spared for so long, but here comes the f**kery 🥴

June biting her some water from the hose 🤣

All the quail, turkeys, chickens and their coops have been sprayed with permethrin today.
I saw some lice on one pullet the other day and turns out she literally was the only one in the whole flock, but I'm not playing with creepy crawlies 😖🤮
It's a lot of work but I like getting my hands on all the birds on the regular for evaluations and just general monitoring, so minor issues can be addressed before they become big problems 😊
Today was the last nice day in the foreseeable future so I'm happy I got all this done.
Gonna get the summer waterers cleaned, put away and bring out the winter waterers tomorrow/Monday, a new bottle of Nubiotics oregano/cinnamon oil is on the way and then we're ready for the cold weather 💪

Do we have a plan? Do we have a concept of a plan?
She scratched everything out the nest box Thursday and Friday but a has left my start of a nest alone today, so who knows 🥴 That bombastic side eye 🤣
I kept her behind as her mother injured her back and didn't recover unfortunately.
RCP hit 9lbs at 6 months and she's a beast, so it's hard to tell if she took for her first breeding 😅
Fingers crossed she has babies in the next 48hrs 🤞
