Our chicks are one week old today. They are still cute! What week will I stop saying that?
Something happened today that I would have done anything to have a picture of. It is only funny or humorous in hindsight. Of course you know we can't keep the goats in the temporary electric fencing or anywhere in the big pasture without them eventually winding up in the front yard. The only place they are secure is in the small pasture with the barbed wire fence, goat fence and electric fencing. THREE FENCES. There is really no more for them to eat in this small pasture, and the reason we got the goats to begin with was to help us clear underbrush.
So, we've been putting them in the big pasture, and on certain days if we're lucky....the goats will stay out for several hours and we'll feel a sense of accomplishment. But today after only a few hours, they were in the little pasture where the chicken coop is. There is also a broken trampoline in the this pasture that the previous owners left. The chickens like it because it provides shade and shelter for them.
One of the goats got up on the side that is still intact on the trampoline. This was kinda hilarious, and I really wanted to see it get bouncing good, but alas, it just jumped off after awhile.
Then shortly thereafter, three of the goats....including the biggest one Patty got into the chicken coop. How? Why? Ward was so upset because he was afraid they were going to bust thru the floor of the coop, that he ushered them out of there as fast as he could and reinstalled them in the three fence small pasture. I was bummed, because I wanted to get a picture of them. How did they fit in thru the small door? So I took "after" pictures for illustration. So here's a picture of the goats (Patty is close to 3 feet tall), and one of the chicken coop door which is 12x12. Crazy!
