Animal Pic's

One of the bloggers I really enjoy reading had a request so here you are.

Animals

The animal additions that were added to the farm a couple weeks ago are settling in fine. The chickens have developed their pecking orders and stopped trying to bully each other. One of them needs a new Timex though, he crows day and night trying to wake up the entire farm. The baby goat has started eating from the wife's hand the last couple of days. She was the timid one and we were afraid she wasn't getting enough to eat because of the larger goats. One of the nannies is starting to show. I suppose we will have a new baby in about three months. I want to take some advice of one of the other blogger I read daily, and purchase a couple of work horses and a cart and other horse drawn implements. We have a few on the farm that belonged to my grandfather. I even found an egg when I was feeding the chickens. This is going to be a fun experience for my ex-city wife.

The Animals Have Arrived

Things are getting more and more settled on the farm. We added a few animals to it this week. We bought three nanny goats and one billy goat. They can help keep the weed control in check. We also purchased three Indian runner ducks for the pond. Two females and a male to make babies and keep any insect problems under control. The wife also wanted two Bantam roosters because they were cute. I also picked up two baby rabbits for the daughter and grandson. The animals are happy at their new home. And the wife and daughter are even helping with their care, not bad for city girls.

I was talking with the auctioneer at the animal sale. He told me how the animal sale prices were bottoming out. He said the only animals that are selling well are laying hens, milk cows and milk goats. Animals that can help feed a family. Just another bit of information on how the economy is doing.
