I'm venting!!

Okay I'm sorry but I have to vent, about what you ask? FAMILY!

Not my parents they are awesome. Our uncle... He has kindly let us keep the rabbits at the farm for the past 6 years and the rabbits have never been a problem. Then we asked about getting sheep and he was all happy. Then we had problems with the sheep getting out of the hay feeders and into the barnyard area and it turned into a nightmare so we sold the sheep. So then we got into ducks and chickens. The ducks don't seem to cause a problem. We had a nightmare of a time with the cows getting into the duck pen until we moved it but that isn't a problem now. Now the problem is if a chicken accidentally gets out he freaks out. I could go into many details but now that I'm writing this I'm thinking why does the entire world want to hear my problems? You probably don't so I won't keep venting and complaining and b****** Who wants to hear that? But .. UGH! So frustrating! I am mainly only keeping my Silkie chickens, and Cochins as both breeds don't fly very well so they don't get out. However our other chickens do. And I may have to find homes for the other breeds if I can't keep them in. Netting over the top only works to a certain point. Now he tells us he is bringing home 100 chickens(layers) raising them in a 14 by 14 shed and never letting his chickens out because they will lay better. And on Sunday or Monday he has a horse coming to the farm(long story, a women is involved though). UGH! And Guess what? Guess who gets to feed and grain these animals, and clean the barns and all of that? Have you guessed yet?

Anyone have acreage to rent on Vancouver Island? Good barns and pasture, small house is fine LOL

Okay my vent is finished. Maybe I can just conk him on the head? ;)

Rabbits are all doing great. We have 14 leaving next Wednesday- CAGES! YEAH!

Lots of dwarf babies, a nice litter of Red Satins, and some nice litters of Mini lops coming up. We have Blue and Black Otters and one chestnut in the dwarf litters. So cute! The one older Dwarf baby we have is SO sweet. He comes running to the front of the cage for loving as soon as he sees us : )
