Typical Tuesday on the farm...

So my day started off normal, up just before 6, get the boys up, dressed, fed and to school.  We had to be at school early because Sky is working patrol this week.  I ran to Staples to ship back Brady's DS that is still not working then to the Toyota dealer for an oil change...normal everyday things.

Then...

Stopped at the feed store and got a bale of straw to put down in the chicken run to try and keep the girls from getting too muddy.  Once I got home with the help of all 20 girls we spread the straw around...Little Roo supervised the work but didn't help out much.  Noticed something had broken the plastic roof  panel of the chicken coop so Shane ran to town for a new piece of metal roofing while I started cleaning rabbit hutches.  Tomorrow I am adding Quail to the farm so I had to clean the end rabbit hutch out for them to make their home in.  When Shane got back we fixed the roof and installed a light in the chicken coop. Since there is no longer a clear plastic panel the girls are not getting any light in the coop so this will make it better for them.  We are setting it up on a timer so they will still have nice dark nights for sleeping. 

Next I pulled a tarp over part of the chicken coop in hopes that when it rains again there will be a dry area.  With the broken roof panel the inside of the coop got wet so I shoveled out all the wet bedding and replaced it with nice fresh clean and dry wood shavings.  Freshened up the nesting boxes and the turkey coop, since we are due to get 3 new turkeys tomorrow, filled all food and water dishes...found a broken nozzle on the rabbits water system, didn't have a new nozzle handy but luckily Vic happened by and found me a twig just the right size to plug the opening.  This is the reason for the muddy mess around the rabbit hutches so with the leak temporarily fixed I shoveled the muddy poo away from the front of the hutches so the boys can't complain when they go out to do their chores.

Now I have to figure out dinner, shower, get dressed, get the boys to swim classes then I have my PTO meeting.  Once home take care of homework, dishes, make sure everyone has clean cloths for tomorrow and off to bed.

That is my Tuesday.
