A few updated hobby farm pictures...
Just a few homestead pics--- for the grandparents!! :)
The mamma goats and boy babies are bonding well (we are bottle feeding all the female babies...as we want them to be SUPER tame and used to us). The mammas have given us EACH 1/2 gallon each morning milking!!! (which we are feeding BACK to the girl babies via bottle). We have never left babies on mamms before-- but 8 babies is a lot-- so we decided to do it this way this time.
EGGS--- Glorious eggs-- so nice to have OUR OWN eggs again!!
The happy suppliers of our eggs
Our broiler chickens are getting feathers. We have lost 3 (of 51) so far-- not tooo bad-- one of natural causes-- and the other 2 we aren't sure---
Baby bunnies (6)-- a good friend brought her buck rabbit over today to breed our female-- and took a look at our babies are realized the 1 is sick-- maybe just dehydrated-- wasn't able to reach the waterer-- we thought they were 100% still on the mamma-- not so-- Hopefully he/she will recover well.
2 more of the babies
**PRICELESS* this is what makes all the work of goat kids worth while!!
They are so good with each other-- they are JUST like PUPPIES!! LOL
They chase the kids everywhere... LOVE IT!
Ms. ANTI-SOCIAL--- I do NOT know what we are going to do with her... she had triplets-- is a great mamma gave me OVER 1/2 gallon of milk this morning.... but DOES NOT LIKE PEOPLE----at ALL... (not mean, just will RUN away) She is IMPOSSIBLE to catch if we let her run free..... IMPOSSIBLE!!
