The Old Folks Home

[pertnear09]

We hit 50° here today. I let all the goats out in the holding area near the barn, after i finished cutting a hole for them to exit through. First time they have been outside since the babies were born. I was out there in the goat pasture for quite a while, adding zip ties to be sure the chicken wire stays up over the fence, so the babies can't escape. Also moved a lot of downed branches and rocks.

Yea, you don't want a repeat of what happened last time.

Well these little ones are unlikely to run away while Mom and siblings nearby. Unlike the babies i bought who were taken from their Moms.

We had cheesecake tonight.

Love that too, but I saved the coconut cake for special occasions.

Tiny Dancer was announcing his arrival as soon as the crate went into the round pen. I didn't want him to be lonely. Starshine came immediately to check out the new roo... man what a squeeky thing! Can you say "Size Matters!"View attachment 2959592View attachment 2959600

A silver duck wing rooster? SQUEEEEEELLLLL. I got about 12 of those wonderful little heathens. Love them to pieces.

Don't underestimate him. One of them managed to cover one of my Fayoumi hens. Where there is a will there is a way. They are definitely big roosters in small packages.

You ain't seen nothin till you see them pile on a full sized rooster who shouldn't be in their run. Death by a thousand tiny pecks? I wouldn't put it past them.

Looked to me like a Serama, but Amanda said Nooooooooo, he's a bantam! She bought him as a chick from TSC and he was in the bantam drawer.

DH suggested I take the day off from doing deep cleaning and he didn't have to suggest it twice.

Because he knows not to argue with you when you reject his suggestions out of hand?

Here's what Hoovers Hatchery has, and what TSC buys from. Closest I can get to what might have been... She got 3 and they all ended up being roosters.
