Goats in Trees


The former owner of this land told us one time that they had goats and came out one day and they were in the trees. I think I know how they got there. One of our little goats is making a play for the branch. I will post if she makes it. Chickens are all doing well. Adult hens are picking up their laying a bit. I wish more. I do believe some of them are not laying at all. Teenage chickens are in their new coop, The Chark. They have limited outdoor run space right now until they get a little bigger. Still easy prey at this size. Baby chicks are so CUTE! They move from the heated part of the brooder into the larger cages on March 23rd. We are going to the Star of Texas livestock show and rodeo this week. Very excited to see cattle and pigs. Also getting close to ordering some broiler cornish rock crosses. We are starting the experiment to raise some for ourselves first before diving into processing for selling. That's a ways off, but am excited about having chicken in the freezer within a few months.
