Well what a morning I have had and it's not even 8 am. My new goats, well they are just a handful, they make the ducks look like chickens pffft.
My husband built a big old corral for them and he went out and fed the baby a bottle, and went off to work (he is so good the baby only takes the bottle from him) So I went out fed them their hay and feed and headed back to the house, within three minutes the 4 year old Appy had opened the lock and set off through the woods. So here I go in my pajamas, losing my sneakers as I am running through to the otherside. Two lucky things,..one I live next to a garden shop,..so lots of land with just ,..well flowers and two Appy was just looking for me, she came running when she saw me.
got her back and put her in the chicken run which I hopefully think she can't manage to get out of.
Next problem of the day, she thinks I am a goat,..and wants me within sight at all times. Mahhh mahhh maaaah. She doesn't consider the little one a companion at all. Yikes. So I guess I have to call into work today, because I have to make sure she doesn't get loose while I am not home and my husband and I can figure out how to secure them into the corral.
I guess this is another learning curve for me. By the way the woman I bought them from said it's funny but most people who come to buy the goat from her started out with chickens!!!
