Good Morning! Welcome to the newbies!!

Gosh, Chickens swimming?

I'll have to try it this summer, lol.
It was such a beautiful day yesterday. Have no sun, but it's warm outside. Enjoy it while you can.

Got two of my sheep shorn today, the smaller two, and hooves trimmed. I could hardly wrestle the big guy so I'm gonna wait for a second set of hands for that one. Kind of a sloppy job but it was my first time and with hand shears too so don't judge, lol. If I were on the Backyard Herds forum, I'd be made fun of and/or berated for it. Luckily their wool was really long so I have plenty of useable fiber for spinning. It might take a while to build their trust again though; they didn't like it one bit. I got a year to work on it.

Wow, they are beautiful. What kind of sheep are they?

 

[ladyrsanti]

They are Jacob sheep, the ones that can grow up to 6 horns. I don't have any of those though, just one set and then the little one in the back doesn't have any. She's kind of a runt.

AWE! Now they look like stuffed toys that have been through the washer and dryer! Like that snuggle lamb!

Thankfully there are not any here that will be making fun of or berating you.

Yep! I thought I'd be pretty safe posting this in the chicken forum
