Goat Gym

We had a pretty spring day yesterday so I let the does run about with me after I cleaned out their pen. They found the wood pile where Dad had been splitting wood and naturally thought it was for them to climb on. They're growing well, and really enjoying all the green stuff starting to sprout in the woods. This is good because they only have another week on the bottle. I'm sure I'll be hearing from the neighbors since the girls are quite vocal about bottle time. 


In chicken news we have lost 2 of the Hamburgs and a 3rd is not looking so good. All the others are strong and healthy. I'm not sure what it is about the Hamburgs, but they just seem frail. We've named some of the easier to identify birds- the mystery bird is named Peck, and our RIR's are Star and Twinkle. Willow did the naming on these three. 

Bo and Luke got to stick their heads in and look at them. They're very curios but are being gentle. The other dogs must stay far, far away. The chicks are in a bigger brooder since this video. They needed more room to run.
