Found this adorable little baby while checking on one of our hens 🦌🥰
We’ve come across a few fawns on the farm over the last few years. We know to leave them be and not disturb them. Does will often leave their babies for 12hrs at a time, while she forages food. One of the reasons she does this is to protect her baby from predators. Fawns know to lay extremely low, still and quiet, and have little to no scent, so not easily detected by predators.
Another thing we learned to look for, so we’re sure they’re not in distress…
“Ears are straight, fawn's doing great. Ears are curled, fawn's alone in the world.” This baby looks perfectly healthy 🥰
