Udder(ly) Still

We are waiting on Agnes to calve, which means we spend a lot of time checking her udder.  My Loving Spouse and I have very serious conversations regarding said udder.

Don’t you think it is bigger?

Look at her teats, aren’t they longer than Alice’s?

I am sure she is bagging up.

We also notice every time her tail is extended, which means, that I believe we’ve seen every poop that cow has made for the last 2 weeks.

The first thing we do each morning is run to the window for an Agnes sighting.  So far…nothing, although, I do have to say, that today I definitely feel her udder is a big more jiggly than yesterday.

In an effort to have the illusion of control over our menagerie, we built the chickens a second yard to flock in.  When the pond is full, the end fence will be removed, giving them the opportunity to wander all the way down to the pond, but to keep them from pooping on the porch and eating my flowers.  

Someone came home with 2 baby ducks to add to the flock.  They are currently housed in a brooder alongside the baby chicks.  Someone says, that they will be so cute swimming on the pond.

I said, ‘I bet they poop on the porch.’

      The ducks are very cute. ‘We’ have already talked about them ‘visiting’ the shop, but they better not come to the house!

    Seeing your posts just make my day! I so look forward to finding out what the farm is up to…. apparently ducks! I agree they will look cute swimming on the pond. And I’m a waiting to find out when Agnes has her baby!
