newton's the goats journal

I don't know about sheep and Sara's sudden friendliness but ... I have noticed that my more "distant" pullets often get a lot friendlier just before they start to lay. Sort of like "I'm feeling all kinds of weird and this funny looking non feathered chicken takes care of us, feeds us, maybe I better hang closer to it."

I expect Eve will come around eventually, once she sees that the other sheep aren't being mistreated and notices they get TREATS!!.

So she may be a lot closer than I thought I'm hoping she goes before ANOTHER 5 inches of snow falls her and Mabel both...

About 4ft off the ground.its helpful that they can' reach the hay bales lol. And hopefully not thankfully there is a second shed she can use ( that nobody for some reason likes using)

It may just be the angle in the picture with the hay but there is a fairly large sag there. Sag supporting a load bothers me.

It' just the one board on the outside I swear! It has another support in the middle and it's wedged into place.the only reason why that board has a sag to it is my grandfather when we were putting it into place climbed on it and cracked the board so it's extremely reinforced plus we never put more than 80 lbs on it now. Plus.... it' a very bad camera angle
