We ran the goats this weekend. It took 8 hours for the two of us to weigh, FAMACHA check, trim hooves, immunize the babies and band the boys. It was 40 kids and 42 adults. I am exhausted.

I ordered 90 keets from a farm in Iowa that has 40 different colors. I order hatchery choice mixed and I got about 10 different colors! I can't wait to see what they turn out to be. Unfortunately, with the heat wave last week we have lost a lot of them.

I have turkey eggs in the incubator and I gave a dozen to my neighbor to pacify his turkey hen who was insisting on being broody even with no eggs to sit on.

Sorry about your keets. We've got 4 hens nesting on about 30 eggs each....we've had pretty good hatch rates on keets. And had guinea hens, chicken hens and ducks hatch them out for us before.

Freddie kidded today. She was open when I had them ultrasounded in January and I figured better late than never. Hubby said he thinks two does but he was late for his dentist appointment.

More to come when I have info........ Fahrendorf is going over to check on them....

Two little girls and they are absolutely gorgeous. Freddie is being a very good first time mommy. She was a little confused at first but is being very protective of them now. I had difficulty getting pictures because she kept getting between me and the babies.

Babies:

Here she is taking care of them.
