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.....

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.

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.

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,

Another Building Painted !!!

Last month we finally were able to get Bam Bam Holsters painted here at 2 Moore's Ranch. We painted it the darker brown (Poncho) that is the bottom trim on the house. The top trim is the same color at the top and around the door and windows .The Adobe Sand color was used to be the background color of the sign and the target shapes. We think it really looks great.

The poultry are out running and eating all the bugs that have been flying around. The afternoons they spend under the trees napping or in the shade taking a dust bath.
We have let the pasture grass grow out and when we let them out in the mornings that is where they all head to. Looking to see what they can get into.
