These doelings are in great health, energetic, shiny & bouncy. I have begun training them to lead and I have handled them daily since birth. They currently stand with no restraints for hoof...
Well, she popped, on day 154! Twin does, thankfully not identical. Both seem healthy, both got on their feet about 20 minutes (I think, didn't have a watch :P ) after they were born.

Sometime during that, I can only assume that one of the...
Okay, my girls really don't want to sleep in their shed. :barnie
It's nice, dry, no drafts, clean bedding, water bucket, hay bucket, we feed there, there are no chickens perching on their backs or pooping in their hair. But they refuse.

We had this great 10 year old cat named Jack who just recently died. Jack was a great cat and the kids would carry him around and sit on him and nothing ever bothered him. He used to hang out and nap all day long on the mat in our bathroom. We have 3...
