Happy Goats - Blog Posts

The chickens are staying warm tonight! Also, I checked to make sure it wasn't getting hot in there, and with outside breezes available, the heatlamps aren't making the coops hot.

Everyone's lying down for the night.❤️🌙💤

Colored oreo and commet for Christmas. Don't worry, it's 100% pet safe!

Oreo and Franny have their winter coats on. Franny has a thicker short coat compared to Oreo's longer thinner coat.

This is about 3 years' worth of Oreo's wool that I brush off him each spring. Franny doesn't usually let me brush her, so she just rubs it off herself.

Teriyaki's babies are getting big! Unfortunately, we had a raccoon come through on a killing spree and had five of our chickens taken. Tulip, Curry, Pepper, Basil, and Cotton. We've overhauled our security and are planning on making a large coop with an even bigger run to hopefully prevent this from happening in the future.

Also, there was a forest fire a few counties over that made smoke come through in the morning. I thought it was just fog, but my parents said it had been smoke.

You can see why I thought it was fog. Kinda thought the mist was happening.🥲😆

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Nothing really exciting has happened as of late. I got a welder machine for Christmas though. For those of you who don't know I have welded a bit before and hopefully this spring I'll be taking another class for more industrial type welding. Who knows maybe I'll be posting about welding projects in the future! My first project will be our goats big gate for their large pasture. We've been keeping them in a smaller pen while we've fenced in the back of our property and the gate doesn't quite touch the post when you close it so Oreo and Franny have escaped a couple times. I don't have a recent pic of him but his winter coat has fully grown in and he's super fluffy! He's so cute! But he can be a real butthole.😆

All of our hens are laying and I'll probably be ordering some hatching eggs soon to add to our flock. Maybe I'll post about their growth as I incubate them and yall can see them grow! I may also hatch a few of my hens eggs for fun. Definitely need an additional coop though as Sampson hasn't been getting along with his father Tulip lately. He's been chasing him out of the coop and into the woods so he needs his own coop and hens now.

I think that's all for now.

So... oreo got a hold of me. That's his teeth marks on my neck. My daddy put the heat lamp up for the goats and I was trying to distract oreo and hold the light cause it's late evening and dark. Oreo was on his desk trying to pull daddy's jacket so I started petting him and scratching behind his horns. He started pulling on my shirt and when I looked up at daddy oreo nipped me. Goats don't have top front teeth so they can grip plants and use the bottom ones to cut the grass or leaves off the main plant.

Gave the animals a pumpkin today and most is going to be set up tonight for wildlife. I'll try to get some pics of deer and other animals eating it.
