The Barnyard News

We have many new developments to report at IOS.  Luna, our white pygmy goat, had three kids about a week before her due date.  Here you see "Whitey."  He is full of spunk and is very affectionate.  He has a brother named "Oreo" and a sister named "Hiccup." 

Picture
Bella had her babies the next week.  This one, "Pumpkin"  is just a few minutes old here.  She also has a sister named "Miss Mocha."  Bella had a hard time expelling her placenta and ended up visiting the vet, but she is fine now...and hungry all the time!
Because of the rain, all the goats and kids are muddy, but still the cutest things on the planet.

Picture
The bad news is that we were invaded by a marauding possum who decimated our chicken population before being apprehended.  Our rooster, Zipper, put up a valiant fight, but did not survive his injuries.  Of all our flock, the only one left is Kumquat, one of our hatchlings.  She now thinks she is a baby goat, spending her days following the goats around and napping with them.  It is very hard to get her back into the coop now as she thinks she needs to be with her goat family at night. 

Losing our chicken friends has been really hard, especially Zipper...and now we have no eggs!  On the bright side, soon we will have goat milking going on, and that will be amazing...especially when it isn't mud city in the pasture once again.

    Deborah: I believe children need to have more time in the great outdoors and no time bubbling in answer sheets to prepare for standardized tests.
