i got a phone call from my sister in-law last night asking me to take on her goats a nanny with twins and 2 other nanny's that are in kid her chooks and her 2 turkeys good lord what do you do with turkeys, i don't do the gut and pluck thing yuk lol, so it looks like curly the goat is going to have some lady's to keep him company, great more goats to steal vegies from the back of my car must remember to shut tailgate in between taking loads of shopping up stairs lol, so there is only one thing for these extra animals i will have to build another paddock for the goats and repair the old chook pen so i had better get my little workers out i have been training them already for just this kind of thing lol Brooke Fern and Crash can have turns using the picket driver thing and Kodak and Devon can do the wire

Shandy and Mocca are good at digging so they can do the new post holes and when they get tired Cruise and Blaze can take over lol
well it is a farm so the dogs do have to pay for their keep no free bed and breakfast here any more just slave labour haha god i will be tied out with all this supervision that i will have to do maybe i can get Red to take over for me so i can have a couple of breaks and Quin can entertain us on our breaks with a nice clown act or two d.gif

How cute are they getting in and helping you. Maybe they are excited to have more animals to play with. I think Kodak is very pretty with the dark colour on one side of her face and the light on the other side she is going to grow into a very striking girl. Are you keeping her?
royalla
Kodak is a boy lol and yes he is staying and the reason that i am picking him is because he has a blue eye, i have been trying to get a blue eyed baby for a while and he is finally here, i was talked out of spices blue eyed babie's but this time i put my foot down until i was ready to pick the pup i wanted

Just about got a calendar there Royalla with those shots! I really don't like turkeys - they're a bit too big and when they do that wing tail feather thing, I just get uncomfortable! lol I think I may have been chased by one or two as a child - I've erased all memory but the emotion remains! Although their eggs are good!

cute little helpers you have :) Does Fern have a home? she is my fav simply adorable :)

You will have to post pics of the new animals when they arrive, im not a turkey fan either :/
Kym
opps you will have a beautiful boy then sorry I don't know why I thought Kodak was was a girl maybe because his is pretty. I'm glad you are keeping him I'm looking forward to seeing him grow up. rolleyes.gif

Very cute-well that's one way to show then they need to work for a living. I'm working on Jacksy and Alby. By the time they get there they should be able to make the morning tea at least-they're not real big on actual physical labour, ha ha.
royalla
there is a lady coming to have a look at them this weekend, but so far only Malee and Kodak are spoken for as i have not accepted any takers until today, so as from today they are for sale but i am going to be very picky were this lot goes lol they are just to cute to loose track of and i really would like to see this lot grow up.It was hard to pick a pup out of this lot as i really like fern, brooke, devon hell i liked the lot of them lol
dandybrush
yes royalla i see you're dilema
royalla
yes i am not a turkey fan i have never had anything to do with them before and i think they are as ugly as sin lol, just think i seen a turkey hen for sale at the markets with amanda last weekend and it was the first time amanda had seen a real live turkey and i said to her that i would never buy one and now judy is sending 2 down here for me to look after them for her. i will have to remember to make sure that they are locked away before i let Quin out for a run they may look like ducks to him and he has a real thing for ducks lol Quin leaves chooks alone but ducks are another thing

I love turkeys, we are going to get some when I get around to it and some geese for the puppies to chase around, NO DUCKS but.

I really like my goats but they are a pain in the backside keeping them in their enclosure, I have kind of given up. So long as they come home the the night lockup they can have their freedom. Frazz helps me put them away if they are at the wrong gate.

We have one lamb born and two kids. The kids were premie so we had to bottle feed them for a few days until they were strong enough to stand up and drink from mum. Even though this is her first lot of babies, she is really patient with me and let me milk her for the kids.

They are up and about now and I just have to make sure that they have been drinking during the day.

i'm a bit hurt by this royalla, i did say days before i came to look at both Ashka and Haze that if u didnt want to sell Ashka i was happy to keep looking for a pup!!!!! Did i not? And i am letting u have pick of the litter when Ashka and Cruise have puppies!!!!
JackieH
Relax Kylie ... I think she meant to say ICE not SPICE the names are a bit similar. Royalla was keeping one from ICE and one from Summa.
royalla
well yes Ice's litter too! but i was not referring to ashka as i know were she is, i was referring to daisy out of spice's litter as i was going to keep her and should have put my foot down and kept her as i think she has been rehomed, so now i don't know were she is and if she is ok or not. both emily and chicka turned out to have half blue eyes and i had told the lady that wanted chicka that if any of the pups turned out to have a blue eye i was going to keep it and as i spotted chicka half blue eye only a couple of days before she came to pick her up i brought a pup from paul barnes a little red merle full sister to fitz and offered that lady the choice of the 2, but she was adamant that she wanted chicka so chicka left and jade stayed and Ice go's this weekend as i have sold her to tracey as she is in need of working adult dogs, Jax may also be going up to tracey and tony for a few weeks to see if he will work for them.

so who if any did you decide to keep from Ice's litter? Do you have any pics of Jade? how long is she staying?
