Farm Update

The chickens are coming along nicely.

Barnabas and Blessing are growing up just fine.

We definitely have a rooster.....

but the "cock-a-doodle-do" doesn't bother us yet.

We are down to 4 button quail.
From left to right:  Favorite, Whipper, Quantum and Rainbow

Amadeus is growing into a good-looking buck.

And my old horse wants to know
how in the world this farm became
so populated with goats.

As evening comes
the goats gather for dinner.
The animal count as of this writing comes to:
1 horse
1 rabbit
4 chickens
4 button quail
17 female goats (does)
3 male goats (bucks)
1 visiting doe
and....
two cats.
That's 33 animals to feed and care for.

All fed.
Time for bed.
Thank goodness for helpful farm hands.
(Although at times my children wish it wasn't theirs:~)
