Goats, Puppies & Chicks
Things have changed around here the last week; we are becoming a real bona-fide farm.
We now have 2 milking goats (purebred Nubians), which Zachary milks morning and evening. He is our early bird and loves being outside so he’s really enjoying this job.
He has a garden planted that he tends to every day, keeping his plot weed free and checking to see what seeds have sprouted. I’m counting his gardening and goat keeping as part of his science for homeschool.
Nubian kid.
We have eight Boer meat goats.
And of couse there’s our puppies.
"Heeelp! I’m stuck!" (the sound of howling)
Playing a little ‘follow the leader’.
"Squawk! Cluck, cluck, squawk! Newsflash from the coop; six chicks have hatched in the last 3 days. Squawk!"
(notice the chick in the back left corner of the nesting box)
This chick is only a few hours old.
Being born is hard work.
(I thought some of the chicks wouldn’t survive because they were just laying around, but by the next morning they were up and at it.)
Stay tuned for more happenings, or as the chickens would say, ‘hatchenings’ on the farm.

Those photo's belong in a storybook – what nice looking farm animals you have! I hope you enjoy your goats— seems like more and more people are making them part of their farms!

What fun! We got chicks this Spring, to raise for as laying hens, and are also enjoying our garden very much. It's our "mini, mini farm" in the city!
Bless you,

OH – They are ALL so cute!
You are so fortunate to have all of that 'nature' nearby! (Makes me sad I live in the city!) 🙁

Absolutely count it as Science. If you through in Mark 4 you can count the Garden as Bible too. And then of course there is the separating the goats from the Sheep scriptures.
Because of Jesus, Bobbie
