July 6 2014....
Kinders Calling...
Well time sure does fly when your having fun. 3 months have gone by and it doesn't seem possible. Seems just yesterday I was waiting on my Gld. Laced Wyandotte ( day olds ). Received them In the am., of April 11th 2014, they were born the 9th. They came from Cackle Hatchery. Let me say I've heard night mares about mail order chics, I was one of the fortunate ones. I ordered 6 chics, 2 cockerels and 4 pullets and that is exactly what I received.! Diped each ones beak in water then introduced the chic food, and that was all she wrote. Those little buggers just went to town and its been that way cense. Maybe some baby pictures would be nice.
This one is like 2 min. after getting out of there shipping box. Well now don't I feel the fool. (can't seem to find the right file ). I'll Be Back,

By the time 4 weeks had gone by it was becoming aperient that one of the pullets had stunted growth. I named her dumpling. As soon as the pin feathers started to come in she got behind the others, she was eating,drinking & pooping well, the loudest one! And no one seemed to notice, not even her. At 4 weeks the 2 boys were developing their combs and had little pink wattles under their chin area. Oh and the boys were marked with green at the top above their nostrils, by request. And they all had their Day Old Mareks Shot, via request also. some more pics. one can tell which one would be Dumpling.

Aww, they're cute! Dumpling is perfect for your wee one. One of the chicks my brother picked out (years ago] was the small one of the bunch- but she sure made up for it with her voice! I was a little worried it would turn out to be a roo, but she was a purty little pullet that laid lots of eggs!

October 26, 2014..... Kinders Calling....
Too much has been going on, to detail every thing, so I'll briefly as possible get this caught up.
The first week of May 2014, my sister and I took a trip to Pa.. The trip was 9 something hours and not 18 like I thought. Dummy me as never used Map Quest be for and misunderstood the mileage. Once we got to the breeders farm it was just be for sun down, so we got a tour. Very nice place and equally nice people. I tried to take some pics. but it was already too dark out and of course I didn't think I needed my flash,
and those pics. didn't come out. Well any ways my sister and I wanted to get a hotel room in town, ( didn't want to drive back at night ), so we followed the breeders into town and we all sat down and had coffee and eats. Meeting time 6 am. So we all got some rest. I was so excited I could hardly sleep. Met all my goats and was so proud. Next am. met up in town because the way back to the farm had a lot of turns and a few ways to get there. Once we got back to the farm I took some real pics.. I had 2 big dog crates for Jed and Wyatte , the 3 girls would be loose. I asked all the basic questions. And get this..
Got to hold Jed's 36 hour old babies. !!!! Momma had delivered the night be for we left Vermont. They were so tiny I feared they would break. Twins a boy and a girl. Way to go Jed.!!! Got every one into the van and was given the paper work, a bag of feed and 2 bales of hay, and of course plenty of water for every one.......( be back soon )

Loving the herd life
We made it home safe and sound after 91/2 hrs. it was getting dark and we got every one in the garage / barn, and settled in for the night. What a trip !!!! Every one of my body parts ache. I haven't left town in like 8-10 years ( lost track ). Any hoot despite of the pain I'll be in for days, I couldn't be happier !!!. I had to divide the barn in half because of a late thaw of the ground so of course I was behind all summer... Here's some views behind my house of the back yard.
Looks pretty bad because the ground is still frozen and nothing has bloomed yet.
I went from the left to the right side of the yard. The shed in the back is where the boys will be when I'm done with it. Behind that is the end of my property. and behind that is a small stream. The Cities run off !! The City asked me a while back if I was going to let my goats drink from it ??
. I replied ..You couldn't pay me to let them drink out of it. ( Its that bad IMO.) There are banks on both sides of the yard and over the years I've landscaped it with a array of perennials, that hasn't even been dug up and rehomed yet. The pool deck and area needs to be knocked down and removed. I planed to split the yard in two, with a path directly in the middle going to the back for my brush pile. I have never used chemicals on my property. Down back gets mushy with the thaw and rain so some fill will go in the boys area mainly in front of their barn. Lots of fence posts and fencing. I had hoped to have it all done by July 4th. gig) Nope !!! That isn't happening !! The guys who were suppose to do the fencing had to skip me so they could stay on schedule. ( They mean bigger money). Well at this point a friend of mine and are still digging up plants and moving them, even gave a lot away.. Good thing the goats were content for the time being...
. Oh ya !! I had scheduled the new Livestock Vet to check out the gang and I forgot all about it, so when she showed up it couldn't have been at a worst time, I hadn't cleaned the barn yet hadn't brushed my hair yet. ( you get the picture ). So much for first impressions.
