George!

Posting has been a little slow lately - I tore a tendon in my left wrist when one of our guineas got out and I can only type 1 handed. I keep hoping it's going to magically get better, but it hasn't improved in the last month at all. So 1 handed it is.

We hand a misfortune hatch of a duck, George. His legs are backwards and so are his feet. We keep promising ourselves we'll do the humane thing if he can't act duck-like anymore, but so far he's doing good!


We like us some George.

We've also decided to refine the bunny program a little bit. Instead of Netherland Dwarfs and meat rabbits - have Netherland Dwarfs and Flemish. We've already gotten our doe. She's gorgeous! And super friendly, she sticks her little nose up to be petted. We're going to try to go this weekend to pick up a new Flemish buck, but then we'll get rid of all the meat bunnies. It's been a year and still none of us has any want or desire to eat a bunny. It seems like a bad reason to raise them. People love those Netherland Dwarfs though. Those sell fast!
