When they're born with the most beautiful markings and as sweet as apple pie... You already know it's a buckling before you check 😂🫣🥰
I went to visit my hay dealer yesterday....
And yall, He got me hooked on something new...
If I would have had pasture space... This baby would have been mine! 🥰
I really think he would fit right in with the Labradors 😊
Good morning!
👋🏼 Calling all my animal loving humans!
I have a fully feathered baby Robin with wry neck that has fallen out of the nest and can't take care of itself. The parents are desperately flying around it but it needs help.
The wry neck could be from an injury from falling out of the nest or it could be a vitamin deficiency.
So basically someone just needs to feed this baby and give liquid vitamins.
I just have too many other critters I am nursing to be able to give this one my attention.
Can anyone take over?
Took a walk with the goats this morning. These two can't get out from underneath my feet long enough to learn how to goat. 😆
Ugghhh 😭
The Joro spiders are back! They are so tiny! Start killing now before they mature and start mating.
We've got chain link around an area on the back side of the house and there is a joro spider in every other opening.
I am trying a 50/50 mixture of vinegar and water in a garden sprayer. We will see
We've had a doeling come back available if interested! This is Cheyenne's girl!
I just knew this thing would come in handy one day 😆
Oliver is up my butt. Maybe I can get some work done now that I have my hands freed!
Picked up our second Nubian yesterday evening and I fell in love before I even made it to the car with him! He was supposed to be a she but by the time I realized, I was already attached! Lol so, meet Oliver! 🩵
He is a two and a half week old bottle baby who is already a mama's boy. Look at the little heart on his nose!
I mean, at this point, are any of you even surprised? 🫣😆
Excuse my dirty floors, it's raining and I have Labradors
Sometimes, the reason a chick can't make it out of the egg on its own is because something is wrong. I helped this little fella out yesterday because it had pipped two holes and was breathing and chirping just fine but couldn't make it any further for 24 hours. It has been another 24 hours and the little fella cannot straighten itself. It's spine seems to be deformed.
Ignore the sound of the parrot shreeking in the background at the end 🫣
Every time I look across the yard and see Charlene, I hear Moto Moto serenading her 😂
I've been waiting for her to drop these babies for about a month now! I don't know her due date but it should be soon! And I'm thinking triplets!
We took Mia the house goat (🤫 shhhh, She thinks she's one of the Labradors) on a field trip to Dunkin drive thru, Lowe's and to get our pickup order from Walmart. She was a hit!
Our newest friend Lillie-Bell! ❣️
One of my favorite standard size breeds is the Sumatra chicken. Gorgeous, proud, docile and protective.
Been waiting 4 months on these babies! So excited!
I have a male mini rex back up for adoption!
I love breeding for temperament and this boy is the absolute sweetest! He comes from two of the most tolerant parents that I have ever had. He has been handled and loved on every day since the day he was born. Not shy at all. Doesn't run from you and enjoys the attention!
Been raised in a cage as well as colony style so he will get along well with others as long as the other is not a bully. Raised on a water bowl not a water bottle, so he will need an attachable bowl to his enclosure.
Asking $20
Sometimes we just need to be petted and told how pretty we are 😉
Happy Thursday! Be blessed and grateful
Proud of the newest additions
This Birchen Old English is my favorite!
Can't get any work done with these two anywhere close! They demand attention by any means!
This is Tink and Paris 🥰
Pearl is a turkey that thinks she's a tiny human 🤣
Pearl needs some friends like her! Reach out to me if you have or can point us in the direction to find her a friend or two 🥰
All is well in the world for the moment. At least over here anyways. Tink It's quite the snuggler today and Paris is demanding her snuggle time! I hope everyone has a great Wednesday! Happy goating!
Bunny season 🥰 🐇
Tractor Supply trap strikes again 🤷🏼♀️
Just a reminder and a little bit of an educational post for our goat loving followers:
Spring is upon us! Which means new babies but also new growth and new buds and sprouts in the fields and yards.
Be sure and walk your property and make sure there's no toxic sprouts sneaking into your goat lot.
Valentine seems to have found some new mountain Laurel that has spread under the fence. He'll be okay with some indoor spoiling and poisoning care. I'm going to attach a photo from GET for your information in case this happens to you. The video attached is for educational purposes so that you can hear the sound of Valentine grinding his teeth. If ever you hear a goat doing this, it means they are in pain.
For reference, around here, most poisonous plants to goats (and cows) are Mountain Laurel, All rhododendrons, and cherry trees especially when the leaves are dying. So keep in mind even if a cherry tree is on the outside of your fence, if a storm would have knock a limb down into your field and leave start dying, they will be highly toxic to your animals.
Send Valentine some good vibes and prayers if you do that!
Blitzen is such a Mama's boy 🥹
"The best goat dad" Cookie said 😆
Y'all 😅
If "put me back in my warm box!!" was a face!
We have a few hatchlings but this is the only bantam so far.

It's always a great day when baby goats are born 😍 Pardon our dirty little faces! Charlene, our OG and herd queen 👑 had 2 little bucklings this morning. We're thinking of allowing one to go as a bottle baby after a couple of days of colostrum! They're going to be sweet! Already nuzzling around my ankles! Let me know if interested!
When you can't figure out why egg production has went down and then find their stash 🤣 #crazychickenlady
Remington has been so patient with all of these puppies around here. He has waited outside of doors while his girls were in labor like the best boy!
It's the difficult days that aren't shared. You're not always shown the trials in the errors and the sadness that comes with raising animals... I was in a meeting this morning and didn't get out to check on the animals until almost lunchtime. My first stop is always the chicken coop. I noticed that one of the hens was not in the nest taking care of one of the babies that hatched yesterday... As I got closer to the nest I found our little lone hatchling laying belly up, feet straight out, head back, and ice cold. I sadly reached in and picked him up and began walking around, looking for a good spot to dig a small hole. I held him tightly in my hand while I was looking feeling for any movement that I may have missed. Some of you may know what a "death poop" is... It's when the muscles in the body relax and everything is expelled.. And that's just what happened... Which made me think, wow he hasn't been cold very long! I started rubbing from the bottom of his beak all the way down his belly fast while I walked inside, found the hair dryer and began a quick warm up. Has he started warming his mouth started opening and closing... I went and got a dropper and gave him a couple of drops of warm water...more movement. So I went and grabbed an egg out of the fridge and pulled the yolk up into the syringe and started feeding him that. Then the little guy started chirping! I'm just so amazed!! I have never been able to bring one back that was that far gone! So lesson is, Don't start digging yourself a hole just because it feels like the end! 🥰
Our Chickies are getting big! They've upgraded to a much larger area and out of the brooder. We'll still provide a lamp for warmth on cold nights but can hold their temps well by now. They'll be ready to sell in 10-12 weeks. Barred Rock Australorp Production Reds
Here's a dose of baby goat cuteness! I think all of the goats are happy to be back outside and out of the garage!
We usually free range our bunnies in a confined area in the yard so that they have more of a sense of freedom, But when our babies start getting old enough to hop out of the nest that the mom made, we like to bring them inside and cage them to protect them from predators or other dangers. Buns have already been handled a lot at this point, But caging them and bringing them into the house or basement gives me even more opportunities to socialize and love on them so that they are awesome pets! I did put some of the nesting material from their old nest inside that crate so that they knew where to go to huddle and keep warm. Mom will bring in fresh nesting materials These are full-blooded mini Rex (Velveteen) bunnies They will be ready for their homes January 19th, 2023
