On April 5th we picked up the newest addition to our farm: 18 rare Swedish Flower Hen chicks! They are all doing very well and they are so cute! We can’t wait to see how they turn out when they grow up. They are a very cold hardy breed and they are extremely friendly chickens with good foraging abilities. We got these from Greenfire Farm in Florida where the […]

On April 4th, Sanibel gave birth to her single chamoisee pinto buckling. He is huge, we had thought for sure Sanibel was going to have at least twins. He is the biggest kid we have had born here yet and he has nice width and good length. He has brown eyes with a blue ring in each. These pictures were taken when he was just an hour old.

Misty had her very first kid at 7:30 pm on March 28th! She is a beautiful little doeling and she is also the first kid out of Leopold born here on our farm. She is a buckskin pinto with blue eyes but we can’t tell yet if she has any moonspots.

We have a spare Jersey Giant rooster who had been destined for the table, but when I went into the coop to get him I couldn’t find him anywhere. I looked all around and after I while I thought I would check the nests, because I had sometimes seen the roosters go there to harass the hens. I went over to the nests and sure enough, there he was, but he was not […]

We had our first real rain of the year and all of the ducks and geese had a blast playing and bathing in all of the puddles around the barn. Our Great Pyrenees, Langenshiedt, also had a good time as he dug a massive hole in the mud and made a mess of himself. Luckily Pyrenees fur seems to shed dirt quite easily so it can be brushed out once it dries, otherwi […]

Our first duckling of the year hatched several days earlier than the rest of his clutch. We named him Sheldon and because he was lonley we took him with us when we could. Here we had taken him into the front yard to play. We couldn’t take him with us everywhere, so we gave him a small stuffed pink elephant to cluddle with. He spends lots of time preening its […]

Now that our two Boer doelings are growing up and getting their adult coats, we have noticed they are growing very curly white fiber over their regular white and brown coats. We are curious to see if this is just a winter coat thing and will shed out this spring, or if they will continue to grow fiber year round. We were told that they were purebred Boer whe […]
