Quite a lot done.

.

Business, some of it.  The phone now has data as well as phone and text.  Ugh.  As well, I obtained milk and cream.  I needed some dairy.  Oh, yes, indeed.  Hay was purchased, and wood pellets, for the birds.  Should be warmer, fluffier, and with capacity to possibly nest.  Oh, and four more metal feed cans, with lids.

Then, on to the farm, to retrieve the big cage.  The one which will be used for weened feeders.  It will need a little work, and was a bear of a device to move, but will be a wonderful way to distribute feeders to those who would eat of them.  I am planning on stapling the bottom in better, and redoing the roof.  No problem, and it should do well, with just a touch of tlc.  Oh, and there were nesting boxes.  so... it's all a start.

Quite a lot done today.  I even helped with a bit.  My ribs didn't give way, even a bit.  They are a bit sore, but should be.  And the back just a bit.  That was going to be a given.  All good, as expected, nothing outside of the plans.  It was good to be out and getting things done.  Hopefully, tomorrow, I will do some of the mechanical repairs and some house work.  Oh, and a call.  Yes, it is time.

Out by 11:00?  Or so.  Not back until 17:30?  Give or take.  A lot of just riding, and some back and forth while stowing, storing, returning.  Still, a very long day for me.  I did feed all this morning, and watered.  Checked and refreshed their water at halftime, give or take, and then checked their water upon the final return.  It was still running, so I left it until I put the ducks up tonight, then I will pull the waterers.

I already reset the waterers I pulled in earlier, as well as refreshing the girls' water with the remnants.  I clean the waterers each time I used them.  I intended to pick more waterers up today, but they only had the small one, and just one.  Even my single housed doe needs a medium sized one.  And I would bet the minis need a medium if housed alone.  So... I'll check through the month.

All good.  Yes, the girls have been fed as well.  Though they need another treat, then a fuller mean a bit before bedtime.  I'll play games as I give the birds and else time to settle in.  A successful day.  The most done in weeks, perhaps a month?  I need to get to this more often.  Yea.  Oh... I am hoping to cull a few rabbits toward the end of the week, and learn with my neighbor.  For that effort, we will each receive a brace of coneys, probably about five pounds per.  Then I can spread the remaining rabbits out, and begin setting them to bread, with a cage each for the little ones.  And it is time to begin getting the bigger ones to breeding as well.

I may readjust the caging situation, putting the males in the smaller cages, giving the does the bigger areas, so as to nest and live more comfortably.  Though, with the bigger cages I made, I may split those.  Those really are massive, by square inch needs.  Bunnies will be on the way before long... bearing young about 33 to 34 days after conception... for the both the big and little, as to how she saw things.  Although I best make sure I have enough people interested in rabbits before going too deeply in.  A couple of big and a couple of little does, to start.

Anyway.  It was a good day.  I am sore.  My forearms hurt from pushing.  My back has a bit of a sting.  My ribs are just a bit tight.  All good.  That is how I prefer to live.  The sweat of the brow... thought a curse... but in a land of sin it is actually a blessing.  You don't have to believe me.  But that is my story and I am sticking to it.  By the sweat of the brow... as I may.  Good afternoon and day.
