The End

As some of you know, Spring Creek Gems is now closed.  It's been a great run, but it's time to move on to other things.

This decision has been coming for a long time, and some of you may have suspected it as I sold off rabbits, and went to fewer shows.  I need to downsize my life which means smaller house and smaller yard.  There won't be room for anything but me and my dog.

The remaining rabbits will be delivered within the next 2 weeks, and then the equipment will be released to the new owner.  The chickens went to a new home, as did the cat.

I'll leave this blog in place for a while, but there will be no new posts after this.  You can follow me on Natureschild Gardenworks as I move on to the next phase of my life.

I've made many wonderful friends along the way, and you know who you are.  You are not rid of me!  :-)

Goodbye, dear readers

Not much happening in the rabbitry.  I have 2 broken babies in the box, and they just opened their eyes.  That's about it for news there.

The chickies are growing fast and keeping me busy buying to keep up with them.  I only buy 20 lbs of chick starter at a time so I'm not feeding it longer than necessary.  I kicked the adults out of the pen so the chicks could have the run of it.  I moved the PVC feeder so the outside birds could reach it but I could still fill it from inside the pen.  It's sticking through the chainlink.  Because of the way it's hung, a couple of the feeder holes are inside the pen, and the older chicks are eating big bird food as well as the starter I provide in another feeder.

The oldest ones are getting on the highest roost already.  The one at the front of the line is one of my favs.  He's half Silky, half Cochin.  Super fluffy!

I decided to revive the garden blog.  From now on, garden and nature stuff will go there.  Natureschild Gardenworks
