Tired of all the rain...its so wet

Its pretty wet around here these days.  Apparently Gran says that the water table is low here.  We need to figure out some remedies for the stall and goat house cause they are so wet inside.  The ground in them is gravel and then we put pine shavings on top.  Thinking of bringing in more gravel, which we need for the driveway too. Im also planning on opening up the stalls big side door tomorrow to dry it out a bit, if the weather cooperates.

On to better things, we are now getting 7-10 eggs a day from our 22 mature laying hens.  I have been told that production should be better.  So I am trying to figure out why they have slowed in production.  Going to clean out the coop on Monday once I send the ladies out for the morning.  This will help me see if we have any shells and also, might help with their laying.

The goats and horse are doing well also, just know that they would like a drier place to sleep.  So like I said we will work on drying out the stalls tomorrow and Monday also.
