Went out to feed the goats about 10 minutes ago, and I felt Bonnie's side, AND I THINK I FELT A KID!! To be fair, it could always just be her stomach, but I'm thinking/hoping/really REALLY hoping that it was a baby
We got 2 new doves yesterday as companions for Avery, our first dove. I am really enjoying these guys!! Were not entirely sure if they're girls or boys, but their names are Harper and Xander. Xander seems to love riding around on my shoulder, which is a lot of fun (I can pretend to be a pirate!!) At work, we have two does due to kid this week, one of them might even be kidding this weekend. I really hope she does, that way when I go to work on Monday there would be itty-bitty Nubians to play with I love this time of year....at the height of the kidding season there's new kids once or twice a week at the farm, AND I should hopefully be having some kids of my own! (Well, Bonnie really, not me )
And just so you know, I have a dove on either shoulder and one perched on my foot as I type this. They say hi
So happy for the nice weather! First time in months I could go barefoot and short sleeved, no more winter coat for me Had my whole herd out in the yard, and everyone enjoyed the warm weather very much, to the point of jumping in circles and running around like maniacs...all traces of dignity were GONE We all jumped up on this huge rock in my yard and got some pretty funny looks from guys going by on motorcycles...probably thought I was insane! Colin finally got his summer feathers back so he doesn't look like a girl anymore, and he went swimming in the stream while the rest of us rock-jumped (he's too short to get on the rocks!) I really hope this warm weather keeps up...I am DONE with winter
I LOVE going to work and finding new kids!! Cheyenne, a very big, very spotty nubian, had her kids at around 10 this morning. Two boys and a girl, all very adorable! Makes me sooo much more excited for Bonnie's kids
Just got back from Tractor Supply! Got a very nice new goat magazine, more goat food, minerals, iodine, and electrolites, so all in all it was an excellent trip. I looked at Bonnie's udder yesterday, and it is definitely a little bigger, plus her stomach is getting rather round Hoping for kids by the end of the month!! Me and Ownedby3alpacas decided earlier that were going to teach Hank to pull a cart this summer too
