    Pocket Cows.... sort of ;) Updated PICS post #20

    We got twin calves the other night and they are the tiniest sweetest things - I'm already in love with these two. They are a boy and a girl, so not sure if the heifer is going to be a freemartin or not (I hope not, I'd love to keep her). Chances are like 92 % that she is, though - I guess...

    two coyotes this morning chased my dogs....

    The dogs started to chase them (the two coyotes), well, Toby did, anyway, and Lily followed. They were crossing the upper hayfield and Toby, being the great watchdog that he is, decided they had to go. By the time I got out the door, Toby and Lily were running back towards the house with two...

    what's that digging in my barn?

    Ok, I went out to feed calves this morning, and I have two big mounds of dirt in the barn. I keep grain (some in an old freezer, some in trash cans) and hay in there. The mounds of dirt are from about the size of a football - to the size of a bowling ball. Much more than I would think mice...

    I'm such a meany :(

    I suppose this could fit into Managing Your Flock, but it is more about me being upset that my favorite chicken is upset, than really flock management. Ok, backstory... I am sorting out everyone into different coops to figure out who stays and who goes. I am using the Brooder Coop to put the...

    This is BabyMama - so named because even before she ever laid an egg, I had her in a brooder coop with about 100 chicks (week old chicks - she was about 4 months old) and she tried to Mother them all she would herd them around, clucking to them, showing them food, chasing them back into her...

    wow! broad daylight, just lost a 2 month old chick to a fox.

    I have a hen with five chicks who run all over the yard - my husband just saw a fox take one of the chicks, didn't get to his gun fast enough, though. He said the hen came out of the wooded area over at the side year squawking like mad, with the fox right behind her, it got her chick, stood...

    donkey genetics... does anyone know...?

    Ok, here's the poop - I have a spotted mini jack, he is gorgeous - he is also one of the most obnoxious creatures I've ever owned. This is probably why he was such a bargain when I bought him. My two mini jennies have the spotted gene, but are not spotted (well, one has one spot, so I suppose...
