Our goats. And a couple of birds.

And some pictures of the whole set up

You can see the slide that will be attached soon.

Sandy on the playground

And here is PePe. Not a very clear shot but you see his colors.

And here he is going back the other way.

The Goat Playground is awesome! When our neighbors were living next door they had the plastic play sets for children set up but this is way better! I wonder if you could post this under the DIY Coop tab or maybe on the Backyardherds.com site. I'm sure other people with goats would love to see what you have done to give them ideas.

So my broody has been off the nest quite a bit today. Every time it have looked out there she is up walking around. I was away for about 6 hours today so maybe she sat then but I haven't seen her on the nest. It's day 10. Since she's up now I took the opportunity to gather the eggs and bring them in to candle them.

First of all they weren't warm when I picked them up. A silkie egg had a blood ring and an EE egg wasn't fertile. All others had veins. I put them back in the nest but I have a feeling my broody is no longer broody. Why would she just snap out of it. She is away from the flock and protected. She has done great the last 10 days(a week she didn't have fertile eggs). I she eats and drinks and poops and I give her treats. I didn't think chickens could count but had she had fertile eggs all along she would be right at hatching in the next couple days.

What gives? When should I deem them dead and let her back with the rest of the flock. How long can she be off the nest before they die? I'm so upset right now, so forgive my rambling.

No, don't give up. I had a hen do that once and they all hatched. Give her time.
 
Well, am disappointed and happy at the same time. I tried my experiment to create home made Rhodebars by crossing a Barred Rock over a RIR hen. Didn't get the desired results. Instead of getting grey/red barred chicks, I got black chicks with white dots on their heads. All of them are exactly the same. So, since Barry and Red are the parents, the new breed has been dubbed Redbarries. Go ahead and put in your orders now. I will have them registered as a new breed and only charge $300 bucks an egg. $299 for my friends.
