A New Year !!!

     The poultry love their Fermented feed.  But we found out something. When it's freezing , the fermented feed does not do well.  So until we have a good warm week. They will just being having their feed scattered on the ground.

     When there is a warm day. We fill the pond for the ducks and geese.  They sure do enjoy diving and swimming.

     With the colder weather that we have been having. Fred No, the ranch dog has been learning to behave in the house.  He is big and still acts like a puppy.  Plus , we have had to make sure that there is not stuff around that he can chew up.  
     We also have to make sure that there is no food where he can get to it.

     We had our first major snow fall finally on Jan 6th.  We had around 3-4 inches.It was very cold , but we still needed to go out and make sure that the poultry and the rabbits had fresh water. Friday was not too bad. It was Saturday when the temps really dropped that made it really hard to not want to go outside, 

Until next month, 
The 2 Moore's Ranch

Merry Christmas From the 2 Moore's Ranch

Luke 2 (KJV)

2 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.

² (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
³ And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
⁴ And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
⁵ To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
⁶ And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
⁷ And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

⁸ And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
⁹ And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

¹⁰ And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
¹¹ For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

¹² And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
¹³ And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
¹⁴ Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

¹⁵ And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

 
¹⁶ And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
¹⁷ And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.

¹⁸ And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

¹⁹ But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
²⁰ And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

A Warm October!

     Summer is gone.  We did not even have a fall, per say.  We  had our first freezing temp on the 8th of Nov.  Everyone has been really happy that it stayed warm for so long. The ducks and geese have been enjoying having the warm water.

      The hens that have been molting have also enjoyed the warm weather.  My black Easter Egger was really bad this year and the geese were picking on her and my other black hen , so I put then in the Rabbit house until they get all their feathers back.  They may just want to stay in there, lol.

     We are down to 4 roosters right now. got rid of the oldest RIR Rooster last month and will be selling the young one next week.  That will leave us with Sunny our Golden Laced and Cedar the younger Golden Laced. And.....

Sunny

Cedar

      As it turns out, Salty is not an hen. But he will be staying anyways.  His colors are so pretty and he is very proud of his crowing.

Salty

       We have been thinning down our chicken flock. We are down to about 20 hens , along with the 4 roosters. It is sure a lot easier to walk into the run and feed now.  We use to have around 50.  Plus the feed bill is a little less now.
 

     The flock out free ranging in the field.  They sure like scratching around in the grass after it has been cut.

Gertrude enjoying a pumpkin.

     Levi sure had a lot of fun the other day out looking at the animals.  He was in the rabbit yard talking and petting them.

     The rabbits that we will be keeping have gotten moved into the rabbit barn for the winter.  The others will be getting ready for freezer camp.  We are only going to keep 1 male and 2 females , plus Gidget through the winter.

     Last week end we pulled down and moved another dead tree to the shooting berm.  Only one or two more trees to go.

Until Next Month,
The 2 Moore's Ranch
