"Our Lil Funny Farm"

Catching up!!!

After looking at my blog page I realized I have not been doing very well on keeping things current. So this post is to catch up and bring my readers up to speed on the happenings around our lil funny farm!

Lets start with the animals as that is where most changes have occurred. The cashmere goats sadly had to be returned to the sanctuary as they just would not stay in the pasture and out of the neighbors yard! All nine chickens are happy healthy and have started laying like crazy even though its the middle of winter and most peoples egg layers have stopped completely or drastically reduced their production, so I am very pleased with my girls. I believe the move into what was the goat house and free ranging in the pasture all day has made all the difference in the world.

The biggest change around here is we have more rabbits and are in the process of starting a breeding program. I already told ya'll about my REW buck (ruby eyed white boy) French Angora well I also purchased another black baby French Angora from Sarah at Fruhlingskabine Rabbitry in Sonora (fmicrofarm.com) I recommend her whole heartedly for your French Angora needs.  

So I heard about this rabbit show that was going to be in Stockton, CA and turns out Sarah and I have quite a bit in common and though she is significantly younger than I am she is very mature well rounded and down to earth and I wanted someone with rabbit knowledge and experience with me if I was going to buy something. so I emailed her and asked if she wanted to go check it out with me. Thankfully she accepted and we actually had a girls day without the kids it was a lot of fun! By the end of our rounds checking out all the rabbits I ended up with 2 new huge cages and two new English Angora Rabbits to go in those cages!  :) ok so lets break it down and see what residents are here at the funny farm!
