I've been talking with a gal from the southern part of the state about our colored chickens.  She wants to buy some live ones from us.  She is coming out tomorrow to look at what we are willing to sell.  So tonight we were out in the barn catching all of our roosters and deciding who stays and who goes.  We found about 20, with a couple of hens thrown in.  So the brooder house is home to these few until she comes.  I'm hoping this will cut down a bit with our feed costs and give our hens a break.. those roosters are terrible!

Madison and I traveled to a farm today to pick up a mini rex rabbit.  Oh my, what a sweet and nice looking little guy.  He should do well at the fair for Madison in 4H.  I'll have to get a picture of him.

Speaking of rabbits, I've been removing the old straw from a few of their cages each chore time as we are getting ready for some very cold weather here next week.  All the cages will need to be restuffed for added warmth. 

The weatherman says we are not going to see temps above 0 for several days starting Tuesday.  UGH!!  I suppose that's when Caitlin will calve!  We are told highlander calves will not chill but at -20 degrees, I find that hard to believe.  But I guess we will see. 

I think that's about it for today.
