This morning was a little chilly when I got to the farm and everyone seemed hungry so I got right to work. After I feed and watered all the chickens and quails I went to check on the baby rabbits who are now hopping around and eating on their own. On Saturday mornings I have some extra time so I decided to give the quail area a good cleaning. There are about two hundred quails at the Dancing Goat Farm and they are housed in a separate area. The quails produce eggs throughout the day which are collected and sold at a few local markets. After I finished cleaning the quail area I decided to go and play with the baby goats before I left for the day. When I got into the barn I saw Steffie and Brianna in a stall with one of the new Starlight Shire goats and they told me that the Starlight was ready to give birth. Steffie, Brianna and I are volunteer on the farm a few times a week and on Saturdays we are on our own so this was going to be our first delivery without Pam's assistance. We where all a little nervous at first but over the last few weeks Pam had trained us to be ready for this day. The three of us got together and worked as a team and successfully delivered two beautiful baby boys who are number eleven and twelve. There are many more babies on the way in the next few weeks so check back soon with the City Boy on the Farm.
