Farming!

We are farmers now!

We have:
16 chickens (including one rooster)
4 Muscovy ducks (probably 2 males and 2 females)
2 Nigerian Dwarf Goats (both six-year-old wethers)
3 Katahdin hair sheep (1 yearling ram and 2 three-year-old ewes)
2 dogs (unknown breed… Carolyn will tell you that Ruby is the biggest and waggiest, though)
1 cat (mighty hunter)
4 children (they count, right?)
And a whole lotta mud.

    Brian and Rachel had a farm…EIEIO, and on this farm they had many animals…EIEIO, with a quack, quack here, a baa, baa here, and cluck cluck here, and all the noises the children make, EIEIO.
    Love all the animals. Lucky you.

    Barn? Where’s the barn? Where do the animals go at night? These are things that keep me up at night! hehehe

  5. The goats and sheep are using the smaller walk-in-shed style half of the chicken coop. Til today, they just went in there sometimes. Today…. I’ve hardly seen them.
