New Friends to Our Family!

Even though we had a really sad week and lost some of our feathered friends...we gained a couple more to add to our family! Dana, our horse camp instructor, brought over her little pygmy goat and her super cute donkey, Picante. My brother saved three lives on teh dairy by helping a momma holstein cow deliver her twins! That's right...she had a male and a female, one is black and white and the other is brown and white!

Losing Parts of Our Family

This has been a very sad week for us here on the farm. We have lost a lot of our animals who we loved so much. We had nine of the cutest and sweetest baby ducks....we found four of them dead in our yard and three of them we never found. We now have two left. We believe this was from a dog that strayed onto the farm. A few days later I noticed two of the three roosters were missing along with one of our adult ducks. We have not a clue what happened to these three. Last night we lost one of our beautiful Buff Orpington hens. She was acting "depressed" yesterday so we brought her into the house and my brother gave her penicillin. The poor girl didnt last through the night. All we can hope is that we gave these animals the best life that they could possibly have. We miss them all very much.
