ELeVan ~ Honaker Farm Journal

Gonna be a lovely day here in Ohio. Goat hit the hill beyond the pond quite early to start munching on the wild rose. I saw Maggie half way up in the crab apple tree happily munching.

I waited for the Quack Pack to reach me before I tossed scratch today...made for some happy quackers

Fluffer and the chicklets are roaming the coop again today. A couple of those chicks are gonna be great at free range...they love to scratch.

 

[Dreaming Of Goats]

How's Jerry the llama doing? There are very few updates on him He's probably jealous of Skeeter

 

[elevan]

Jerry is doing great. He doesn't do much exciting. Although sometimes he scares the pants off me when he decides to sunbathe and I'll send DH out to check on him, cause I'm afraid he's dead. DH always gets halfway to him and he'll pop up.

He comes up to me every morning and evening when I toss scratch out for the chickens and gets a handful for himself. I feed him right out of my hand. He's such a big teddy bear.

 

[Dreaming Of Goats]

Hahaha Is he still a good guard even though he is a teddy bear?

 

[elevan]

Yes, he's a teddy bear to me, the goats and the chickens. But if a dog gets near the fence he's on that fence like white on rice.

Haha. Have you ever witnessed him in action?

 

[elevan]

Thankfully on our farm he's never had to deal with a problem inside the fence. And I hope he never will

He's very good at charging the fence when the neighbor dogs are out and at the fence. He peels his ears back and gets a gleam in his eye. He'll pace the fence with the dog and lunge at the fence when he thinks the dog is pushing his luck.

This morning when I let the chickens out, I had a hard time telling Skeeter and her sister Hershey apart. That is how improved Skeeter is. She's walking normally and running.


T-Bone came up to visit me when I was dealing with filling chicken waterers. He likes to get his cheeks scratched. He sees DH and he wants to play...he see me and he wants to "cuddle". I'm gonna cry like a baby when it comes time to take him in.

Try this.............get some A1 sauce and each day go out and pour some on his head and tell him that he is a good little pot roast................
