Today it was time to throw out all the veggies that were getting old, so I decided to make a chicken happy goulash. I cooked a pot full of oatmeal and threw in all the lettuce, peppers, and egg shells that were ready to go!
.
These chickens had a breakfast feast made for kings.
.
Do you spoil your chickens with food? What do they love?

But then a predator happened. I am still kicking myself for not having it more predator proofed, but in my experience when I coyote wants something, he's going to get it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I found a lady who sold me more quail, and I have been growing them out. They are being housed in a different setup this time, and they are beginning to lay eggs. I even have a handful of them in the incubator right now just to see what happens. The last time I tried to incubate some they slowly died one by one. I only have two of those that I personally hatched that made it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They say that raising quail is actually easier than chickens. So far that has not been my experience, but I am also still learning. Fingers crossed!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It’s inevitable! 🤷🏻♀️">

As if they weren’t already on cloud 9 with THAT news, we arrive at the fair to find two first place ribbons and a grand champion ribbon on the rabbit cages. We have no idea what any of that means, but they are excited nonetheless!
.
Today is already an amazing day!">

All kidding aside… today is going to be amazing! It will be our first time ever showing rabbits, and we are going to have a blast.">

Okay funny story… when we went last week to pick out which puppy we wanted, my girls kept insisting on a little boy puppy. I had my heart set on a little girl! We chose a girl, but when we went back yesterday to pick her up, we came home with a boy. That is motherhood, right?
.
I couldn’t be happier with Koda. He settled in quite nicely next to the goose pen last night, and in a couple more days he will go into the pen with them.
.
We are smitten with him already!!

But guess what? I haven't told them yet (nor have I told my husband officially) but we are getting a livestock guardian dog. We got to go pick out our puppy yesterday, but it will be a couple of weeks before we can bring it home.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you have any LGD training advice? We are getting a puppy that is part Pyrenees and part Anatolian Shepherd. I have never had outside dogs before, so I'm kind of nervous. I just want it to be happy and be good at his/her job. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Since I have been cooking with sourdough again, I have made a lot of sourdough pancakes! So I whipped up a quick batch of blueberry syrup using some fresh blueberries that I had thrown into my freezer this summer. Y’all! Just give me a straw!!
.
Do you love different flavors of syrup? What’s your favorite?

Fast forward to three nights ago… my ShihTzu disappeared. She went outside at 6:00 pm and never came back. So we are fairly certain that she became the next victim.
.
Last night the predator returned and wiped out my entire quail pen. Y’all at this point I’m ready to just give up. I have cried and cried over all the loss!
.
So today my daddy came to my rescue. He took me to Tractor Supply to buy everything I needed to predator proof my coops and pens!! Not only that, but he installed everything and put up hot wire for me while I went to dinner with Jason’s family to celebrate his mama’s birthday. I’m pretty sure I have the best daddy in the world, and whatever predator shows up tonight will be in for a little shock… literally!
.
I’m devastated over the loss of my babies! But I have learned some valuable lessons, and I have been reminded how lucky I am to have a daddy like mine! ❤️">

Have you met Mango? He is a Sun Conure that we accidentally acquired after his owner unexpectedly passed away. He has major separation anxiety, and his screaming is driving us bonkers! My husband is ready to divorce me, but we’re working on that too! 😂
.
Mango can say “Hello,” and his newest trick is mimicking the dog barking. If you drive up in my driveway, your arrival can be heard a mile away.
.
We are slowly bonding. He is easy to love when I have time to just sit. But he makes it difficult to get anything done because he thinks he needs to be on my shoulder all the time, and if he isn’t he screams until I let him. It’s like having a toddler!
.
Do you have any animals that have taken you a while to bond with? I can’t be the only one, right? Tell me I’m not heartless.">

Do you have geese? What kind?">

By the way… the pen needs some greenery. What is hardy enough to withstand super hot summers, cold winters, and still thrive in sand?! 🤣">

1. Stop focusing on your circumstances and start focusing on God. 🙏🏻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. God called you to teach, but that college degree will be useless. #homeschool. 🎓⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Speaking of college degrees, you will never use yours so stop taking out so many student loans. 🤦🏻♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. Invest your energy into those people who invest in you. Nobody should be too busy to show you that you matter. ❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5. That feeling you felt when you first laid eyes on your first born child?... Wait til he tells you that he is about to give you a grandchild! 👶🏻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
6. Do not take toilette paper and sandwich bread for granted. One day these two simple commodities will mean everything. 🧻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
7. Stop working so hard to pay for a house that you are never home long enough to enjoy. Trust me. Less is more! 🏡⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
8. Your tragedy and pain is not meaningless. Just wait until God introduces you to the daughter that you didn't give birth to. 🥰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
9. Don't stop searching for answers! You have to be your own health advocate! 😷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
10. That love you feel for your horses? Just wait! One day you will have a rabbits! And Silkies! and Geese! Oh who am I kidding? You will have and love them all! 🐶🐰🐣🐴🐱⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do any of these resonate with you?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Rabbits make excellent pets! If you spend time with them, they will become extremely comfortable with you. They take dedication and patience, but you can even litter box train them!
.
We started breeding Holland Lops this year because we absolutely love the breed. We breed only to improve the breed, striving for the ARBA standard of perfection.
.
While we do have an air conditioned bunny barn, I keep two rabbits inside as pets. Nola and Bella take turns exploring the entire house everyday, and I absolutely love it when they boop me with their little nose. They have learned that booping gets them treats from the garden!
.
Who else has rabbits? Are your rabbits inside? Or outside? Are they litter trained? Do you think they make good pets?">

Oh the joys of homeschool! I can't even tell you what grade my girls are in. I just know that this one is getting ready to take the ACT exam, and she will probably be finished with high school very early and will start college before she even has a drivers license. HAHA.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Who else homeschools and can't keep up with what grade your child is in? Just me? At least we have baby farm animals to distract me even more.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
