Busy, Busy, Busy

I always feel so guilty not getting to blog, So much going on since March - We know have 15 babies running around and playing, so full of energy. The make me laugh, such characters! We have 12 does and just  3 bucks, these little guys think the died and went to Heaven!
We also have added 20 more chicks to the farm, all brown egg layers and heavy egg laying ( Lets hope so) We have alot of egg customers knocking on our door - It is nice to know where your food comes from.
Here's some pics of some of the babies:

Time almost here!

Well we have been very busy around here lately - Its almost kidding time (about a week from now). We have been preparing pens, cleaning feeders, buckets etc. And of course, giving all the Mamas to be (6) a little extra attention :) Mud season has arrived, not always a bad thing, at least we know spring is just around the corner.
Also a Spring thing - We just placed an order for chicks, this year we ordered Barred Rock Hens, Plymouth Rock Hens ( New England breed :) ) and some Easter eggers which we thought would be cute for the little kids that visit the farm.
Happy Spring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ya can tell it's Monday!

Morning was quiet, I let the goats out to play in the yard - beautiful site. They were clicking their heels everyone playing as usual. Walked Sammy out to meet the girls - Wellllllllllllllllllllllllllll!
The horse scared the goats, which scared the dog which scared the horse and the horse jumped thru the fence and mangled it -Now repairing the fence so the girls can't get out - Its now only Noon, anymore surprises for the day? I think I'm ready for bed already ! We shall see - Whew!

New girl on the farm

Well we brought "Sammy" home around 3:00 today - what a sweet little filly. She stand 34" tall (Miniature Horse) She is settling in just fine. All my does (goats) look at her as if saying "boy your a tall one!" I think she we fit in just fine.

Well thankfully the humidity is low today - its so hard to get what needs to get done, goats get cranky ( and so do I) Poor Leila hasn't kidded yet and justs looks at me like "lets get this show on the road" Thankfully its cooler for her, the air even smells fresher. Shearing rabbits today so I apreciate the break in the weather.

Busy Week

Well its been a busy week so far. I thought things would slow down a bit but it seems like its just getting worse. So many chores to do when the sun is shining. Cleaning goat pens, water buckets, rabbit cages.Also been shearing rabbits. Tommorrow two ladies are coming by to purchase rabbits and sometime this week our Leila (goat) should be kidding. I will get pictures on as soon as I can. Garden is doing terrific this year, already put in freezer String Beans, Peas, Broccoli. Just blanched and put in freezer. I just love havesting the bounty from the garden! Have a great night!
