My rooster is really nice to them as well, she got that way at the place I got her from. I hate seeing her that way but not much can be done until she molts. The friends she came with weren't as bad and have all filled back in since they've been here. Should've taken a picture of my rooster. His tail is molting off , poor guy.

Really happy to see those udder photos...okay...after three weeks I was worried about them drying up completely, but they are for sure...guess I needed a reminder of how their udders looked at the beginning.

Nice lease...my hubby would love that...also a big dove hunter fan and fisher...although I believe I do okay with my fishing skills too...

Sorry about your pasture...yikes...we got rain here in time and can finally let them out to graze again without worrying about the grass. Of course with the rain came a storm and our second huge tree of this summer came crashing down..ON the sheep fence, so more fixing. First huge tree was struck by lightning and split it all the way down to the ground and smelled like some electric burn. Hope we now have all bummer trees down...fence can't take much more, nor us with going out with flashlights and pouring rain to do a quickie temporary fence fixing.

Have a super great week!

I recently bought some hen saddles and I like them. The angora goats are pretty. We NEED rain!!!!

I understand, but if he DOES breed her or the other chickens get a pecking, it can turn nasty. Just a thought I love nice roos!

What breed is he?

He's a Black Copper Marans. Here's a previous picture of him.

Okay, so yesterday was 107 degrees here. Thank God it's been SO hot that all of the moisture has been sucked out of everything so the humidity is as low as it gets right now. I've stayed busy hosing off the horses and wetting down the hen spa and keeping their wading container filled with fresh clean water. I also have a mister hose on the run of the coop so once I close them up in the evenings, they hang out under that. This morning was quite a bit cooler so I actually felt like taking a few shots of the sunrise. BUT lets start out with some udder updates.

First off, this is the mom of the ewe lamb that I am keeping. I pulled the lamb off on the 3rd. Here she is again on the 10th..... NO progress and very tight.

Here's how she looked yesterday after 18 days.

Here's the mom of the lamb that went to the processor. I sold his twin on the 1st. Here she is on the eighth. The ewe above is beside her in this pic.

And yesterday at 21 days

Heres the ewe that is bagging up on the sixteenth

And again yesterday.

A couple of sunrise shots from this morning

Hope ya'll enjoy! Have a great afternoon

Just a couple of pics. The sheep are from the other day, the chick hatched this morning. These were taken with my phone, quality may not be great.

Seven eggs to go, but there may be one or two more already hatched under her
