Goat Friends!

A blog all about our Nigerian Dwarf Goats and other small fuzzy animals!

Chestnut today. He’s a bit wary of the new goats but seems to be doing ok with them.

My parents rented a couple new companions for Chestnut so he won’t be alone since he’s the last of our goats. The brown one is Grace and the white one is Simba. They’re so much smaller than Chstnut!

Goat pictures from my parents today. Abigail let them put the calf blanket on her cause she was shivering yesterday.

Petunia was the only chicken that let me photograph her and only once

Chestnut wouldn’t look up for a picture

I love Abigail

Bambi looks a little scruffy and still has the remains of his winter coat

Went out to see the goats today. I can’t believe they’re 13 years old!

I think I figured out the eggs! Top picture left to right: Clementine (Welsummer), Olivia (cuckoo Marans), Annabelle (Cream Legbar), Lydia (Prairie Bluebell) and the tan one in the bottom picture is Petunia’s (Swedish Flower).

Petunia doesn’t lay nearly as much. There were 2.5 dozen eggs in the fridge and only one of Petunia’s!

Getting lots of eggs! I’m not sure who’s laying which brown eggs though. Both Clementine and Olivia are clearly laying (Petunia’s eggs are much paler and the other two are the blue eggs), but one is a Welsummer and the other a Cuckoo Marans

It seems several chickens have been laying eggs!

[qwigoqwaga]

One of the new chickens started laying eggs! I’m guessing it’s Clementine. The green egg is probably Annabelle’s.

Some pictures my mom sent me. It was super nice out today!

[qwigoqwaga]

My dad sent me this picture of Clementine. She looks ready to start laying soon!

All the current chickens in their respective cliques and together
