Ok, so I didn't die!!

It's just been work work work and more work AND driving to Rhode Island on my day off to work with 4 REALLY nice Arab mares. Someone really needs to add more hours to the day! lol

I adopted a cat. As you can see, she's very cozy already. This is kitty number 5. I still question my sanity at times....but bringing this cat home was the best thing I ever did! lol Lily here and my youngest, Lucy (aka Rat) are getting along really well. They run through the house like a hurricane. It all starts at 5am.

Then I hatched 5 peachicks!! One died.

It was always very weak. But the other 4 are thriving! I have to take some pictures of them. This is the oldest one, a day old. They're almost 2 weeks old now. Cutest things ever! lol



What else... We got a new goat at the farm. I think it's a pygmy goat? She's blind in one eye. Supposedly, she is staying with us for the winter, and the owners will come back for her in the spring to take her back to the camp where this goat was a part of a program for kids. We'll see. I have a feeling that this little girl will be staying with us for good. Either way, she's a very nice little goat. I kidnapped her today and brought her in my yard on my lunch break. LOL


Miss "Ima Big Girl" was very interested in the goat.





And to continue on the "dropped off animals" theme...someone brought this little hen to us today. Apparently someone had dumped this chicken somewhere, whatever that means? The people that found her, brought her home but their chickens kept picking on the poor girl, so she's here now.

So far, she's getting along with my Cochins. Looks like an Araucana, but she doesn't have the ear tufts....so I guess that makes her an easter egger?




Well, that's it for now.

Welcome to the thread, Sanna! Looks like you have some nice animals and you remind me of someone that used to post on here....

.

Congrats on the new cat! I bet it is funny at your house starting at 5 am. The animal hoarders crew on animal planet is very nice!...lol....JK...nice thing you did for Lily! I bet you're real excited about the peachicks from what I've seen you post about people's peacocks on here....Congrats on that too! Pretty goat and looks to be a great lawn mower...

. I got a lesson in what true pygmy goats are when I posted some pics on a goat board...lol....heck I thought I had pygmy goats, but I have crosses....I think I have Nigerian Dwarf/Pygmy crosses, but not sure. Ima Big Girl looks to have a beautiful coat! Nice of you guys to give another hen a good home!!!

Oh and fencing is a breeze with all that help I have....

They look like newborn puppies in this picture

My pups are a week and two days old. Susan is letting me keep one!

I want to name her Sweet Brown, but Susan doesn't like it.

That would be a very expensive option for your large pasture. :S

Oh, I might need those animal hoarder people here pretty soon. LOL I have 15 eggs in the incubator also. Forgot to mention those.

I think we're on day 7 now. I'll have those little critters in the house too then...

Maybe I'll give some to the hens. ALL of my Silkie hens have gone broody. All of them!!

There are only 5 adult hens, but stil... Why do they all have to do it at the same time? lol

I love your fence! If the electric im installing doesent work im tottally stealing this idea . Is that stock panel your using?

Yes, they used stock panel for the fencing. It has the electric also, you just can't see the tape from my angle. lol Dear Ima is good at just pushing through a fence to get to the grass on my side of the yard. Or on the road side of the farm. Not cool.

I'm afraid she'll end up directing traffic on the road some day. The electric fencing obviously needs to get fixed. It hasn't been working lately.

Everyone should share the two they chose here just so we can see. Even if you've already showed them before.




These are the two I chose.

Yes, ONLY TWO!!! That is a problem for a lot of people!!!

I have always loved this shot with her "human" eyes!!! It has been one of my all time favorites! I noticed a lot of people have said that about her eyes. I think my other favorite of your pictures (of chickens - since I can't include the baby llama or is she an Alpaca?) was I think three barred rock maybe? Standing together in dappled shade. There was an optical illusion that made their feathers look like moving ripples.
