Nes' Farm: Who's Here (updated)
http://nesfarm.blogspot.com/p/whos-here-updated.html
Smooth Coated Collie ('06). My wonderful mount of 6 years, she's mostly a glorified pasture pet! Enjoying the good life. Our other expensive lawn ornament. He's here for his retirement as a trail horse and as a companion for Meg. Shorthorn x Limo (04? Gertie is a sweetie but still a little shy. She's staying here as part of our herd. Gertie's steer calf, here as beef. Hilda is the shyer of the two, but not if you've got feed for her. She's staying here as part of the herd. Daphne (form. Dewey). Cute and ...

Saturday, April 21, 2012. Poor girl, shouldn't tease her for being pregnant! Expecting early June kids, EXCITED! Thursday, April 19, 2012. The best treatment was to just leave him be and let it burst on it's own, which it did, and now he's feeling much better. I thought he'd be on the other side of the barn as soon as I got him with the liquid bandage, but he really didn't seem to mind. A ball of frozen ground beef really helped with that though! Sporting some bling of his own. Wednesday, April 18, 2012.

Saturday, April 14, 2012. Little guys LOVE chick time! Time for our first order of chickies! We're staggering all our chickens this year and we're going to start with 50 now, and another 50 at the end of the month and see how things are looking from there. 50 2 little yellow fuzzy bums. They're so cute at first! The newspaper keeps the chicks from eating the shavings that are down underneath. This happens sometimes with brand new babies, they don't realise the shavings aren't food, and will starve to...

Sunday, April 29, 2012. Every time I try to get a photo of him he gets up, but he does this almost every single day, and I think it's hilarious every time he does! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Nes' Farm: The Barn
http://nesfarm.blogspot.com/p/barn.html
Welcome to The Barn! Here I've got a little sketch of the barn layout. It's oldest portion is the all stone-walled "open area" where we will be constructing horse-stalls in the coming years. For now everyone is housed in the "horses" section, except the cows. The barn was a working dairy farm in the 1900s, the stone portion may date back even further. It's still in good shape, but we're cleaning it up and making it work for our needs. This is where the animals live now, before we did any work. The grain ...

Nes' Farm: Adopt a Pond, Help protect our Wetlands
http://nesfarm.blogspot.com/2012/04/adopt-pond-help-protect-our-wetlands.html
Thursday, April 26, 2012. Adopt a Pond, Help protect our Wetlands. We're big supporters of Frog Watch and the Ontario Turtle Talley, and I've submitted more then a few sightings (& hearings) to them. It really takes only a few moments to send one in and you're helping to map out the habitats, and get a rough idea of their population. Labels: Around the Barn. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Nes' Farm: What Eggs Do you Choose?
http://nesfarm.blogspot.com/2012/04/what-eggs-do-you-choose.html
Monday, April 30, 2012. What Eggs Do you Choose? Having several Easter Eggers sitting (on and off as always.) we've got 4-5 nests going right now, we'll see if any of them actually hatch this time! I was asked on the weekend which eggs I would select to have the hens raise, which which is a really good question. A rotten duck egg. I usually don't get around to candling the eggs right away, but with 2 roosters and 3 cockrels running around, fertility is not a problem for us! I do try and candle half-way t...

Saturday, April 28, 2012. The piggies out for a walk. I was out in the field yesterday so figured I'd let the pigs out for a little run around. They've moved to Maddie's stall, so they've got lots of space, but I hate keeping them inside even though our fences can't keep them in yet. Thor is VERY curious about the funny little dogs things, and they were staying in the paddock pretty well until he got too curious and out they slipped. Miss Piggy took the manure pile to get in a good roll. Not surprisingly...

Saturday, March 17, 2012. Things I'm sure this x-jumper never thought he'd experience. You're on my fewd. Good thing he's so good natured about it all! Friday, March 16, 2012. Daphne had been sneaking off between meals and I couldn't find out where she was going, since she was acting funny (very vocal with a quiet quacking sound) I was hoping she was hiding a nest somewhere. Hubs found her while hunting for pigeons and I'm very glad she picked the spot she did! Thursday, March 15, 2012. Thor is not quite...
