How many chickens at Wilder? Can you count these, and add 7 free-rangers in the small coop. A request too: Does anyone have old GOLF BALLS TO DONATE? We had a good supply but now need many more. Putting one in each nest box or basket stimulates the chickens to lay because it is like an egg is there. But eventually they wear out or rat invaders chew on them.
Wilder has frisky goats! Enjoy this little video of Clara (light grey) and Ada (all brown) playing, with Carmela looking on.
Puff's aria
Puff, an Araucana hen, sings an aria celebrating the new nesting boxes! Harmonized by Sherry, a Sumatran hen.
Longtime volunteer Libby made the cows a special treat! Part 1.

Thanks to Mark and Lana, Farm Animal Program volunteers, for this sweet compilation video about Wilder!
Horses! How great to have these beautiful horses at Wilder. Draft horses getting shoed, and the Haflinger team Susie and Sissy getting a nice grooming. Haflingers are a smaller but powerful breed of draft horse.
Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving! This is a special thank you to... you! If you are a human who enjoys the Wilder animals in any way, thank you! We are here for you and because of you, without people like you many of the animals, including myself, would probably not be around. So we give thanks to you!
What I did during my vacation
Thanks Minnie for taking over for me for these past two weeks! As you can see I was very busy and needed to take the time for a good scratch.
Dinner of Champions
You may be thinking there's enough food here to last for days, but we are goats and we have a big appetite! We ate this all in one day and it was a yummy feast!
Breakfast of Champions
