We have a couple storms roll in today and more on the way. I adore the rain. I love everything about it.

We have 4 very happy ducks!

They heard me shake the grain bucket :) Everyone got a treat today.

My silly Silkie Roo "Fonzie" seems to think he is a duck as well :)

The rain started again so they all hustled into the barn. The birds all went too! Except the duck, they love it.

Guido braved the rain to see if I had more grain :)

Yeah...it is keeping him alive because his hide is useless as a rug with the spray hair color. :p He is a tiger now

My sister, her BF, and my friend adore him and I'm always threatening to send him to freezer camp because he is SO naughty.

Pretty much. He is constantly getting into the chicken feed but I have since changed things to prevent him from getting in there so hopefully he will be a good goat and stop pissing me off :barnie

Love the photos!!! Thanks for sharing:) And those orange stripes are great!!!!

Glad you love the rain...I personally am not a big fan of rain, except of course after a drought spell and the pasture looks bad...I'm sweet as sugar and fear I will melt in the rain :lol:

Hopefully your modifications work. I always get amused by other people when they tell stories of naughty goats because ours are no problem. Worst we've had was the wethers getting out the gate because it was left open by my ODS. Didn't take much to catch them and get them back in though and we even made him help get them back in. Taught him how to grab their collar and get them moving. Slightly amusing to watch a 5 year old with a full grown pygmy/ND mix. The goat is as big as he is! :lol:

No joke...This is a full grown Angora. He is probably 150 lbs at least. He fits through my chicken coop door! The door is 6 inches wide, 12 inches tall and he turns his horns sideways and squeezes through. We have put up a permanent fenced coop made with wire and steel that only the birds can get through. HOPEFULLY he will stay out, if not...well my freezer is always ready for him! :rant
