Just Bein' A Country Girl
Well, for the past few days, I have been letting the does out to eat the apples that are right next to the barnyard. The apple tree is a crab apple, so its an easy thing for them to snatch up a few. Plus, it keeps them busy instead of getting into the hay. It's much more healthy for them since its a green plant. They love to go out and eat the apples that fall from the tree. What they love even more is to have someone get them the big crab apples from higher up in the tree, the ones that are about 2 inches around. They also love to go out in the field and eat all that yummy grass. Hey, the lawn gets mowed and the goats get fed, and we don't have to buy feed and hay as often. We are working on getting a fence out in the big pasture for them to be out there without someone watching them. Hoping to get that done soon.
I have not taken the bucks out yet. I am hoping to do that soon. They need some of the green grass too. They do eat the tree that is in their side of the barnyard. They love that tree! :D
We are still getting lots of eggs from the chickens. I found a giant egg last night, one of the double ones I mean. It has two yokes in it. I haven't found one of those in quite some time. If we let those hatch, and we had a dozen eggs, we would get 13 chicks. But right now, we aren't letting them hatch. I am hoping we can let some of them hatch by the end of the year. We are still giving our eggs to the little store in town. But since they are currently on vacation, we have a bunch of eggs in the fridge. They usually pay around $1.50 a dozen. Then sell them for 10 cents more. Pretty good for both of us. :)
We have been keeping the roosters in their pen due to the fact that they tear the feathers out of the hens' backs. Some of them are bear, so we only let one or two roosters out a week. Mr. Bennet, Jocelyn's rooster, who is a big Rhode Island Red, is out right now. He is one of the nice ones, although he does chase Isaac and Caleb around sometimes, thus Isaac and Caleb are terrified of him. They won't go outside if one of the roosters are out!
We just got some of our potatoes and onions planted a few days ago. Because we went on vacation the first two weeks of June, (the usual time we become active in the garden) we got nothing done in it. We did get some of them planted. We have three tomato plants growing in Mom's flower garden also. They are thriving! I am thinking of leaving them there so I don't have to walk all the way out to the garden when I want a big juicy tomato to make some salsa or some spaghetti sauce with. But right now, I don't know what kinds they are! :D I will have to wait and see.
I have been mowing more lately. I weedwacked a bunch of the back field. For some reason, the goats don't want to be back there and eat the grass. I guess it's because they can't see the barn, their safety. I've mowed a lot of the front lawns. One thing I've learned about mowing - you get blisters if you mow for more than 30 minutes at a time.
I gave Blondie a bath the other day. She did not want to get in that tub of lukewarm water. She has not liked taking a bath since she was a puppy. I gave her three baths last year I think. But she was smaller then, and was not so heavy, so I didn't have problems getting her into the water and holding her there. But she has gotten big. And strong. And I had to put her back in the water three times before she actually realized I was not going to let her out without getting her wet, shampooed and rinsed off. I used the hose water, and since it had been lying in the sun for a while on, the water wasn't too cold for her. She let me pour water over her (after she had soaked my pants), rub her down with shampoo and then rinse her off with a cup. I am hoping to give her another bath in a couple months.
We got two cats. We have been having trouble with HUGE rats in our barn. They are opening the eggs and eating them. At first we thought it might be a cat, but when the lady who was watching our animals for us while we were on vacation said she saw a rat the size of a small cat run right in front of her, she suggested we get cats. We went down to the feed store, because someone told us they had a ton of cats to get rid of. But they only had kittens. Small ones two. Only 6-7 weeks old. So when we went to the dentists', Jocelyn remembered the guy who sells us hay had a ton of cats, some grown and some kittens. We stopped over there and found the cats. We got two females. Brought them home and put them in the feed bin with the three mice Jocelyn had shut the lid on the morning before. The one cat didn't want to do anything; she just sat there, trying to get out. The other one, however, saw the mice, jumped in and killed at three in a matter of seconds. She was a GREAT killer!
We were on our way down to the barn when all the chickens came fluttering up to see what we had. Well, that scared the cats. Mom had the Killer and I had the Watcher. I got pretty scratched up when she fought to get down. Mom got scratched and had to put Killer down. She ran to the fields. I took Watcher to the barn and put her in the hay room, after showing her to Pem, and having her hiss at him. That's exactly what Mom wanted her to do. I left her in the barn, and went up. Now they are just around the property. Mom has put some food and water on the porch for them. Yesterday morning when I got up, Watcher was on the porch. We found both kitties in the field and gave them some food at the edge of the field. This morning, as I was getting feed for the goats, Watcher was in the garage. She scared because I saw her out of the corner of my eye. I ran and got some dog food for her, but then Eric opened the door. I didn't see her again. But they are still around!
We are hoping to get a kitten from the feed store in a couple of weeks. There is a rat in the house now. We want one that we will be able to train to be an inside cat. They had some really cute ones down there. :)
Ok, I hope you enjoyed this post. I have exhausted myself writing it. I will write again soon. I hope to be blogging more on here in the near future. Have a wonderful day!

Another Small Post!
This morning, about 15 minutes ago in fact, Eric and I were in the goats stall feeding the goats. Then we heard this loud clucking sound from one of the troughs we have found eggs in. We found two hens in it. They were hiding under the one side of the trough that has a box over it. Then Eric and I waited. Then we saw an egg!
We decided to let them be until we got the waterers filled up. We thought, since we usually find five or more eggs in it, that they would lay more. But when we looked, they had each laid one egg.
I just thought it was kind of cool to see that. They were both Rhode Island Reds, so the eggs were and easy to spot.
I hope that you enjoyed reading about my excitement. I was really excited about it! I can't wait to get a real egg basket (we just put them in our pockets), and go down every morning to find a dozen eggs, and then eat them for breakfast! That sounds very homesteady, don't you think! ha ha
Ok, well, I am trying to catch up on comments. I will try to post some pictures of the eggs soon for you all to see them.

Our First Chicken Egg EVER!
He comes running out of the stall yelling "OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH!" over and over. I asked him "What is wrong?!" He was freaking out about it! I went and explored what could have happened, and found there was an egg in front of the door! How cool is that?
We haven't been able to get the nesting boxes up yet, so we are going to have to do that soon. The egg was a greenish-blue egg, which means it was an Americauna! I was so thrilled about it!
Tomorrow Eric and I are going to make a thorough search of the pine trees they are under all the time and the stall... maybe we will find more!
I am sorry for so short a post; I will post more about it later!
Well, got to go finish commenting!

Animal News
I bet you’d all like to hear about the horse that bit too right? Yesterday, she went down to feed them, and Estrella had eaten her way into Dulcy’s stall. Amanda was trying to get her back into her stall to eat, and she was turned around going to grab her bridle and Dulcy bit her arm and pulled back on it. She was cornered, but luckily, not hurt any further.
She came up to the house crying. She had a huge black spot on her arm, and she put ice on it. She has a rainbow coloured arm now, with the black, blue, green, and red. We are selling them. Want one? Yeah, that’s kinda discouraging news, if you would want one. But I want to keep Estrella, she’s the good one. But I don’t think we will be, if it can be helped. I let Carrots go on Friday, at bidding. She told me I should just let him go...since he wasn’t any use to me, and I couldn‘t hold him without him scratching me to death. But a new plot was behind this: she was going to get me a domesticated rabbit! Dad had found her in the Peddlers’ Post, and Dad and had decided they were getting her for me, without telling me. She is a Himalayan rabbit. (Do you know what they look like?) When Dad got home Friday, Mom told me to go see if he needed help. I did, and when I looked into a big box in the back of his truck, I saw her! She was not the type of rabbit I probably would have picked, but she was a rabbit, and I wanted a rabbit I could hold.
I’m going to call the recent owner today, (hopefully) and ask what her name was and how old she is; Dad didn’t find out that stuff. I renamed her Daisy. I put the word “rabbit” in the Hobbit Name Generator, and that’s what it came up with. said I should name her Red-eyed Susan. It was “ha ha“, but no, I didn‘t really want a rabbit named that. So I ended up naming her Daisy. I took some pictures of her that I will post later. I have to upload them to photobucket and that will take forever on dial-up!The goats are doing good. We still milk Chloe and Heidi. The doelings are doing fine. So are the bucks. We hope to get their pen built soon. Right now, they are in the girls stall, but Mom built a wall-and-a-half around a feed trough. That’s where they are right now. We have to feed them all separately: The bucks in their pen, the doelings outside in the pasture, and Chloe and Heidi in the stall. We milk them in the stall, so we just feed them in there too. I think that’s about it for them!

A Goat-Herding Shepherdess...
Well, yesterday evening, Eric and Hannah got them out and were taking them to the back to eat the 6ft weeds. I was called out there to help them stay together. We had to run after them once or twice to stop Chloe from running back to the barn. Then Mom came out, and Eric and Hannah went in. Mom wanted to take them down the hill where there was more weeds, after she took them by the poison ivy bush, much to my dismay. We have a tree and a bush that is covered in it, and the goats LOVE it, so we let them eat.
I had to haul the bucket of water down to where they were, down the hill. It was only half full, but it was still heavy. I had to hold onto Heidi's lead, to make sure she stayed close to us. We were down there for about an hour, just letting them eat what they wanted. There was plenty to go round, so no one fought over the weeds. JK! They don't fight over the weeds, they all share... most of the time.
We had to put the halter on Chloe because she kept pulling her neck back so we couldn't pull her. She doesn't like it very much. In fact, she hates it. We tried to keep it on her when we got it at first, but then, somehow she got it off in her stall and lost it. We couldn't find it for about two months, then Jocelyn cleaned out the goats' stall, and presto! there it was! She had that on since Mom came out.
She couldn't pull with her neck since we were pulling her by the nose. Ok, it wasn't the nose, but it was under the chin, where the halter clip-on ring was. We didn't have any more trouble getting her to come with us from then on.
The rest of the story is I was left out there when everyone else went in to watch them. I was running with the doelings, and singing to them, cuddling them. I love them, and didn't mind if I had to stay out there. Keçi was really the only one who ran around with me; she is the most personable. I think that's because she was the outcast when we was born. Since Chloe had just had hers, and Heidi was sick after having two dead bucklings, no one wanted her, so we were her mother.
While running, I found a green frog hopping under a ladder. It wasn't very big, but it was slippery. I lost it within five minutes. I was trying to keep it, but it jumped and I couldn't find it again. So I was content in sitting on a rock and started singing to them. Keçi came and wanted me to pet her and love on her, as did Belladonna, my goat. I gave the doelings some grass.
After a bit, I was told to take them in. Jocelyn went down and fed them. I took a shower. I was glad to finally get in the shower, because I smelled like a goat! Plus I had scratches on my legs from running through the tall (and short) weeds.
Then today, we moved the cage and put them out in the back. We put Heidi and the doelings in the cage, and hook Chloe on the outside to eat the weeds. We put Heidi in the cage because she always gets tangled up, but Chloe doen't get as tangled as her. Somehow, Keçi and Eámanë got out of the cage. The door was still locked when we went out to check on them. I think they pushed the side open and climbed under it. Another thing that we noticed was that Chloe had eaten Mom's plum tree! The leaves were GONE except for the higher branches.
Jocelyn had to come in and tell Mom about it. We had been trying to keep them away from the tree when we move the cage to where we put it, but we didn't see that it was in the reach of Chloe. So now the tree is bare... Ok, I think I covered every thing about being a Goat-Herding Shepherdess...

Oh, one more thing: does anyone like my new template? I got tired of the other one. I did change the font from Arial to Comic Sans MS on this template, and I fixed the links. I did it all by myself! I thought I did a pretty good job on it, don't you? But I am going to change it to something else soon, make my own design. I'll have Jocelyn help me with it, so leave a Reasonable Comment and tell me what you think would make a good template design... I was thinking of taking some pictures of around our farm and making a template with them...what do you think?

Don't forget to stop over the Milk and Honey Tea-House. I posted about the Kingdom books again!
Building the Chick's Pen - 'Til 3:30 in the Morning! and then staying up even later after that...
Ok... this was the post I had ready to post this morning:
Ok, just a warning for everyone who will read this post: It is going to be very long. So grab a cup of hot or glass cold of tea, and read another story I tell about my life as a country girl on a farm in IN.
Sunday Night:
Mom (with a bit of help from Eric and I) cleaned out the stall we had the bucks in a few weeks back. We got all the yucky, gross, disgusting stuff out, and we made sure we scraped everything, all the way down to the concrete floor. Got everything out, including a few sheets of plywood, a broken down *crib-feeder* we made out of a crib, and a few odds and ends.
Then we took some utility fencing, and put it around the stall on all sides. We used a not-working stapler for about 1hr, then Dad just hammered the staples onto the fence, which took it even longer.
After we got the fencing stapled down, we had to put up a wall top section off a smaller part of the stall. The perimeter of the stall is 10x14, and so we had to make it 10x8 for the chicks, which leaves about 6ft outside the *chick-pen*. Mom built a wall with me and Eric that's about 4ft high, and is the length of the stall. The part of the stall that the chicks are in is about 80sqft pen. That's more than enough room for them. And I'm sure they were happy to be somewhere where they could run around too!
Another task we had to do was the beams that support the ceiling in the stall had holes where the beams run into another beam in the ceiling. The holes were about 1 1/2ft wide, and about 1ft tall. So we covered them with chicken wire. Eric can fit through them, and crawl through to the other beam. If Eric can fit through there, then I'm sure a cat could too. And we don't want a cat in there, of course...so we had to *cat-proof* the holes.
We had Eric climb up on the beam and nail the chicken wire down. Mom couldn't get up there and I hate heights, so Eric had to do it. Soooo after we got that done, the next task was to get the chicks from the garage to the stall, and that was a task indeed. We all suggested something different, carry the chicks down in two smaller boxes, carry the big box down with hald of them in it, or put all the chicks into one of the bog boxes and carry it down like that. We did the last suggestion. We took the side of a crib, and put the box of top of it, and carry it down there like a litter. The bottom was caving in, because it was wet from something, so we had to hold th yucky bottom of it too.
The chicks all laid down on the way down to the barn. When we got them in the stall, and opened the box for them to run out, they all just laid there. I thought something was wrong with them, silly ol' me! They wouldn't go out themselves, so we had to take each of them out, and put them on the sides of the box so they wouldn't run back in. When all were out of the box, we removed the box from the stall. Then we got both waterers and feeders and put them down in the pen. We showed them all the waterers and feeders.
The next thing we did was stand outside the pen and watched while the chicks flew around the new pen for 45mins. By now, it was around 3:15am, I was very tired from working, and so all I wanted to do was to stand there and watch them fly at each other. Eric had a commentary on everything they did: who was flying at each other, who was the loudest of them all... Well, after the 45min was up, we had one more task to do before we would be able to go up to the house, to our beds: make sure the door was *cat-proof*.
We closed the top and bottom door to see how it would be when it was closed. There was an uneven gap where the two door came together that was about 6in. We took some small nails and hammered them into the door. Then we took a piece of chicken wire and nailed it to the top door, so the top would stay permanently . We hooked the bottom of the chicken wire on the nails, that way we could open the door when we were in need of going in, and making sure there was no gap for any stray cats that might want a piece of raw chicken, with feather, neck and all, for dinner. I know, cats' can be so groddy!
Then we all came up to the house, after showing Pemberly what was in the pen, (from the outside of the pen, but inside the barn). When we got up to the house, Amanda was holding a sleeping Queen Lucy, while watching Stargate Atlantis. We all got cleaned up and joined her. It was 4am when the girls went to bed. Mom laid down on the couch. Eric and I watched Animal Rescue until about 4:45, when we shut the TV off and told Mom we were going to bed. I went to my room, slipped into my pajama pants and set my alarm clock for 9:45am, hoping I'd be able to get up at that time. I slipped into bed, and the last thing I remember was saying to myself how I have to get up early in the morning to give the chicks more feed and water...then sleep took over me...
I'm not sure when I got that day, very late I think. I think I covered everything about building the chick pen, right? Mom wrote a post about building the chick pen, so if you want to read what she wrote about, go to her blog: Seeking Rest in the Homestead.

Cleaning Out The Chicks Boxes... and letting the wild go back to the wild...
But I did survive it...got it done and put the waterers and feeders back in. Then put the cardboard slats back on top of the boxes.
Ok...I think I know what the breeds are...let's see...hmmm...I should remember them since Mom told me just yesterday!
There's the Rhode Island Reds...
Then the Buff Orpingtons...
Then we have some Orocaunas... I think that's it! There isn't many breeds, but LOTS of CHICKS!
Well, this is going to be a short entry...this is the end because I can't think of anything else... Ok, if really want me to, I can describe the chicks for you...
They have all got their tail feathers and wing feathers. They are starting to get feathers above their wings. I lifted some of the fluff up to see the skin of one, and I saw little feathers coming in. I'm sure it won't be long before they all loose their fluff and have feathers instead!
A Prayer for the Chicks: One chick is sick, and will probably die, but keep all of them in your prayers!
Oh yes, I'm afraid I must tell you...but I'm let Buggs go last night... I'm not sure what he was still. I'm going to let Carrots go back to being wild when I get a domesticated doe bunny. Pray that God will take care of Buggs when I let him free. Amanda saved him from Pemberly and I'm putting him back to where he came from: the Wild!
Rachel
Please check out my homeschool blog for my latest entry: Well, If a Tag Don't Beat All!
About the Chicks...
I wanted to let you all know about our new chicks we got about a week ago. To start it off, I'll tell how many chicks we got. We ordered 55 chicks. One of the chick had died at the feed store. Mom wanted to get a couple more. We got four more chicks, so then we had 58 chicks.
We brought them home, and put them in the boxes we had waiting for them in the garage. We got a heat-lamp at a hardware store, then we got 100wt light bulbs at Dollar General. We looked for two small thermometers, but they didn't have any. But you have to have one to make sure the temperature is right, so we had Dad pick one up. We got two waterers and two feeders at the feed store when we got the chicks. We also got a chick-starter feed, it's medicated for coccidiosis. Mom talked with Mrs. Carter, and she said she uses the med-feed for the first however many weeks.
We went back the next day and got 10 more chicks. Eric, Hannah, Amanda, and I went and got them. Every day we go out to the garage and clean out their waterers, give them fresh water and give it back to them. We fill the feeders every day too. It's like an all day buffet for them. All they do is eat and sleep, eat and sleep!
They are just getting their wing and tail feathers in. The first we saw was a few days ago, a bigger one already had a feathered wing! Its so fun to sit and watch them preen themselves. They just sit down (if you know what I mean) and separate their feathers, and peck the fluff off their off. I like picking them up and holding them because they are so soft and fluffy. I picked up one today, when I was finished cleaning out the waterers with Isaac, and I put my hand back in the box for it to jump off, but it wouldn't. It stayed on my hand until I tipped my hand a little and made it kind of fall off.
Mom put a wooden bar in each of the boxes for them to roost on. I have noticed that the yellow ones sit on it the most. I don't know the breeds, so I can't tell you what we have...sorry...
Ok, so you probably want to see a picture, right? Did you think I would forget about the pictures?! Oh, c'mon, you know me, I won't forget about the pictures!
Here is a picture of the day we got them:
And this one is from today:
The Chick-a-fil Buffet 9
See how they grew? They are growing very quickly, and before we know it, we'll be butchering and getting eggs from them!
Well, I should go comment now, since I haven't answered anyone for a week!

I was in the house making dinner and Jocelyn came in and said that I needed to take Luly and Amanda was to come down to the barn. I thought she would be back in a few minutes but then, Jocelyn told me to come out on the porch and sit with Luly on the swing. I saw that they had let the horses out now, and they were running around.
They must have been very happy to be out. Of course, they hadn’t been out for a long time, if you’ve read Amanda’s post(s) about them getting out of the fence TWICE! They have not been let out since. They were very happy to be out, considering they ran for about five minutes! I think anyone who had be locked up day and night in a stall would want to run around the first chance they got! I would!
Now, for dinner!
I cooked the seasoned chicken on the grill, which I have not done this year, so I was very happy to be cooking outside, although I would have liked it better if I could have it cooked on an open fire instead of a grill! (It must be a country thing! Ha ha!) I made home fries, and zucchini and carrots for vegetables. It was very good and I think I am getting better at cooking meals. I hope that I will be an excellent chef when I get married, that way my husband can brag about how good my cooking is, (just kidding!)
Jocelyn made, yesterday morning, chicken gravy to pour on biscuits. It was REALLY GOOD! She is growing in creativity every day. I would NEVER have thought of making that for breakfast! I’m so glad she’s my sis!
Thanks for stopping by! Hope you’ll stop by and read my latest blog post at the Milk and Honey Tea House!
May the Lord BLESS you and KEEP you!

Goat-y Pictures!
This is Chloe (left) and her second doeling, Eámanë

I hope you have enjoyed reading the thoughts of a thirteen-year-old girl from the country."You can do all things through CHRIST who strengthens you!" Philippians 4:13
Oi, You Goat!
I was answered by Eric, "What do you want?"
"I want Jocelyn!" I called back.
"She's holding Lucy!"
"Well, come and help me!" I told him.
He came running out to the field where I was and started to push Chloe toward the chain. Then he remembered when they won't budge, Jocelyn said to grab their ears and kind of tug them. Our goats hate having their ears touched, so this gets them going. We got her hooked to the chain and then Heidi. We got the doelings into the pen and started to walk toward the barn again to get Cowboy and Elessar to hook them in the back of the house on chains.
Eric calls to me as I come out of the house, "I need the blue lead!" I ask, "Why?" "I need it to get Eles!" (He calls him Eles) I run down to the barn and he says, "Here, give it to me and here is the orange one." I say, "Why can't you use that one?" "'Cause you need this one for Cowboy. It's stronger." I then say, " No it's not!" and so he hooks Elessar to the orange one and I get Cowboy.
Cowboy is a big, strong buckling. Elessar is too. He's a little fatter than Cowboy but he has the same strength. Cowboy won't go anywhere unless he sees Elessar or any other goat coming to, so we have to take them both at the same time. Elessar is the same way.
None of the goats like to be alone. They are companion animal; they don't want to be alone. They start bleating very loudly if they happen to be left in the stall while we take the others out. Eamena has the loudest, most annoying bleat ever! You can single her out when they are all crying.
We are still trying to get the buck pen finished so we can get the chickens and start on the doelings pen. Where the does/doelings are now, we are going to split into sections. If we need to have a kidding room for Heidi or Chloe, we'll be able to put one in one of the sections.
I am trying to find out all the information about rabbits I can. Mom found o a site that I'm going to be reading info on them from, but if you have any, I would like to hear it!
Rachel
Ps. I'm working on my template in a second! I'm going make the font bigger! And maybe change it to a different font... What do you think?
