Uh OH!!! It is THAT time of year!

Sigh!  It is THAT time of year when my buck (the first goat in the picture) starts peeing on himself.  I know that sounds gross AND it is!!!  He does this about 25 times a day (I am not exaggerating!!).  And this goes on until late November/early December.  By that time, he is REALLY "ripe."

He does that to "attract" the female goats.  Personally, flowers and dining at the fancy restaurant work for me!!

Babies!


Had 4 baby chicks hatch this weekend!  I let 3 of the hens in one of the chicken houses set on eggs.  Usually 75% of the eggs aren't any good.  I always pleasantly surprised when I find baby chicks.  This brings our total of baby chicks hatched this summer up to 8.
