Last night I was adding more bedding for him. Thinking that could have been part of his issue. Well I learned what it is like to have a Nigerian Buck as a farm hand. :rolleyes: It is almost as useful as a 9mo kitten as a laundry helper. I did manage to get his bed finished, with only minor causualties the strings on my hoodie and my shoe laces. :celebrate I wish I could have taken pitcures of the event but I think he may have tried to eat the camera too.

Next week my other buck Apollo and my wether Capoine will be comming home as well! :weee :weee So more pictues and stories to come I am sure.

We have progress :weee Last night when I got home from work I went to work on the girls shed, just a simple three sided structure. I add a wall to half of the opening and placed the bedding behind the new wall and thier feed in the open side. When it was time for bed they both bolted for the chicken house, where they have been sleeping. It took a bit to get them out again and close the door with them outside, but I did it. After that we all sat and talked and they got loves when they where being nice to Miss Kitty (the new barn cat that showed up last month) then I told them it was bed time and left the yard. Well I went out about 9 and listened, and there was no goats talking. :weee it worked the goats now sleep in the goat houses and the chickens sleep in the chicken house :weee I just hope it lasts

I had to move the gate to the chickens outside the goat pen so I don't have to fight goats to feed the chickens and rabbits it is so much easier now

Here is the report from my mom. :barnie

not sure that the girls got any sleep last night. I just went out there because Beau was making a lot of noise. Could not see the girls. Found them under the table in the coop. neither one got up. Jazzy lifted her head and looked around but Rosie only opened an eye saw me and went back to sleep.

:he :he :he

silly girls you were supposed to sleep in the shed last night :/

Well last night it was easier to get the goats to stay out of the chicken house. But this morning the girls were once again asking to go back in the coop. :hu So I will wait for the morning report on how things are going. Only 4 days until the new babies come home :weee they will be bottle babies for about a week :hide but I think we can live with that. Mom said she did not want bottle babies but she is the one who made the arragments to go get them. :hu It's funny I am the one that is doing all the leg work to find the right blood lines and shuch for my herd. I am also the one paying for all the goats yet it seems that I am not the one selecting the final goats that come home. :smack But I guess if it gets the rest of the house involved with all aspects of the heard it is worth it. I must admitt that the family is doing a good job on getting cute goats :hu

Now it is time to start with the chicken breeding. I just need to decide if I want hen raised chicks or if I want to do it. :hu :hu Any ideas or thoughts on it???

Well I have used my first hour at work catching up on all the journals. :hide I guess I should go do my work :th but I really want to go home and play with my goats, but to work it is. I need the $$ to buy more goats :celebrate
