Stuff and Things

Recently, we got given a horse! His name is Peanut, and he is a Miniature horse who I think is about 8.3 hh? He is so adorable, he has a little mo hawk hair do at the moment, because when the people who gave him to us first got him he was infested with lice. So he had to be clipped all over and have his mane hogged (cut off). I will put up a pic and maybe a video of him later.
It seems to be give-someone-a-horse month, 'cause my friend Hannah has also been given a free horse as well, only this one is 14.2 hh so she can ride him :) She hasn't actually got him yet, but I'm pretty sure she's getting him.

Willow has got 9 days until the nest box goes in for her. She was bred to Fern this time, so very excited :) Her last litter where all on hold by the second week of them being advertised! (All 7 of them!).
I am currently trying to persuade Mum and Dad that it would be a good idea to pick up a rabbit (or two) on the way through Christchurch when we go on holiday this year. We will see if that turns out well or not ):D

At the moment, we are also in the process of building a new 'quail run', for the quail and the guinea pigs to live in. This is what it looks like so far:

....Yea... not much progress. BUT, we have brought all of the stuff we need, and have an AWESOME plan for a two story quail/ guinea pig mansion house for them all to share. I'm afraid you will have to wait until we are finished to see that though :)

Oh, aaand, the other day I was cracking eggs for something... and there was a fertile egg!
I was extremely puzzled- we don't have a rooster! Or so I thought :I
It turns out that one of the two chickens originally to us as 'pullets', is a cockerel. Oh well, it's pretty cool actually. Because now we have a non crowing non attacking rooster, fertile eggs, and a hen that frequently goes broody. We might try put some fertile eggs under neath Gem (the broody one) next time she goes clucky, see if she can hatch some for us :)

That's all for now... feel free to comment! (Hint hint... ):D)
