In The Corner Every Time

Crazy chickens!  The most amazing thing is that all the goats were snuggled in and they didn't and have never broken the first egg.

Any Takers?

The last two weeks have been big production weeks.  Need some help here.  Come by if you need any.

Knotheads

When I let the boys out to play tonight while I was refilling their buckets I noticed this...

I think a little sibling rivalry is happening.  Some heavy headbutting.

They have knocked each others 'horns' off.  I think they need a little time away from each other.

Dinnertime!

So Many Personalities

I think she is playing hide and seak.

She likes the game.  My flowers might not survive the game.

Betsy didn't know it when she brought a watermelon the other night that the chickens LOVE watermelon.

Picked 'er clean!

And then we have Ethel, AKA Ms Broody Hen.

She was mad at me because I was collecting her eggs.

She was really, really mad!

Some Silly Shots

Dusting again.

Hey, ruby I see you!

Just Some Pretty Goats

I need liquorice!

Thanks for all the new straw!  I love it!

Looking like he is enjoying the sunshine.

I see you...

She's Broody Again

Ethel just can't help herself.  She moves eggs into the last nesting box and will sit for days.

Funny Little Story

Mark and I were in the car when we get a call from Michelle, part of the famous 'Husky Girls' of Heavenly Petsitting. 

Jan, are your goats in your yard?

Hmm, I think so, Why?

Well, my neighbor has two goats wanting in his back door.

PANIC SETS IN...like heart attack panic.

Do you have a pic?

Yes, I'll send it to you.

Wow!  Not my goats!  But aren't they cute? Before I could say anything Mark looked me straight in the eyes and said NOOOOO.  I don't know why I let you get them in the first place.

Not to worry, they are now home safe and sound.

A Life Saver

I saw a posting for FREE straw on FB and left a comment hoping that we would get the bales. With all the rain we have been having our backyard looks like a swamp! We have been trying to get some chips delivered but no luck there so far.  

And we go them!.  Funny thing, they were used in the Opening Day Parade on a trailer for people to sit on.  I like that!

And the chickens love it.

Stitch likes it too.

Mark even got them a bag of really good scratch.  They get to play hide and seek in the straw all day long.

I took an old stump out...kicked it out actually.  There were ants everywhere.  In come the chickens.  After eating all the ants and other bugs they decided that this would be a good place to have a dusting bowl.

Pretty flowers, pretty chicken.

A Little Lovin' and Some Brushing

So after the chickens were playing in the straw I spread some in the goat pen too.  And they loved it too.  I caught Boot sleeping on Boogie's back.

And everyone got a good brushing.  They loved to be brushed.  So much so that they push each other out of the way.  I just sit on the bucket and brush whoever is in front of me.
