Well, one week in and the milking is going very well. I'm able to get about 24 oz at each milking before Scarlet gets done with her grain and therefore done with standing still. The hobble was back ordered so I guess other people are having the same problem. The little guy is growing fast, a week old today. He comes out in the paddock with his mom some now and has been sampling the hay and grain. Cheese and Quackers are getting bigger, too. They're just over a week old. Today they got to come outside for some playtime. I was thinking they might explore more but they decided to stay close- mostly just sitting on my feet or in my lap.
And here are the chickens in their playpen. I'm hesitant to allow them free range with the hawk we have, it actually got a guinea a couple weeks ago. They're 9 weeks old this weekend, and still have some growing to do before they're dinner.
The veggies in the raised beds are doing well still and we've had a load of pea gravel delivered to spread around them and the milking shed. It should look nice after many, many, many wheelbarrow loads.
