    An Only Goat

    On St. Patrick's day we brought home a darling baby goat we named Blarney. He was rescued by a friend of a friend from an awful situation (I'll spare you the gory details) and once we saw him, it was love at first sight. It is believed that he is probably 4-5 weeks old. Mixed mystery breed...

    Limpy Duckling

    Two of my (domesticated) Mallards hatched some adorable ducklings. They are about 3 days old. When I was bringing them in yesterday afternoon, I noticed one was limping.

    Dog Injured Chicken!

    Moose (my dog), who has never shown any interest in my chickens before, caught one of my Brahmas yesterday. He stopped as soon as I yelled, and Bertha (the chicken) ran under the barn/coop. My husband was able to pull her out. We brought her in the house and cleaned the wound. I was surprised to...

    Red's Big Adventure

    My favorite hen Red, (that I believe to be a Rhode Island Red) disappeared last week. We came home late Friday night and when we went to close up the coop, all our other chickens had gone in to roost- but Red was not in her usual spot. Since she was one of the only chickens unable to fly, we...
