Cock-a-doodle-do Good Morning to you!

I was up extra early today....because someone convinced me to camp out in the "man cave" (camper) last night. It is just as well because I have a very busy day today and need to get a head start on looking after all the animals so I can be at the other side of two to pick up a couple cages at 9:30 this morning. Then come home and get them set up so that I can get a doe settled in before she gives birth to yet another large litter of kit. Then I have the problem named Turkey Lurkey to figure out....our big male turkey, who is only just coming to four months old has become a bit of a bully and it is time to make a choice....do we wait until Thanksgiving when he will be bigger than our oven and build a separate enclosure for him or is he going to be Sunday dinner? He is a handsome bird for a turkey and would make a lovely fair entry and we are hoping that he might try to breed with our hen before he becomes a meal....but he can get really nasty with the ducks. I guess we could have duck for dinner??? Not sure how the kids would feel about eating Quackers though, they are much more fond of the ducks than the turkey who I can still just about manage.

I must remember to get a dinner on early in the slow cooker too. It is enrichment night and dad will have to take care of the kids. So if I let them pick vegetables from the garden I am sure they would love to have a stew. It is truely a treat to have a night out with grown-ups....it is a very rare occassion, so I better get started with my day!
