Now there where Nine

It was a rainy morning and I got to the farm a little early to try to beat the thunderstorms the weatherman was promising. I got right to work feeding and cleaning and when I got to the rabbit cages i could not wait to check on the babies. The five baby rabbits are much bigger now and have started to come out of their little nest to explore their cage. This morning they where jumping into their food bowl for a snack they are doing very well. After I was done feeding and cleaning I noticed a few boxes of day old glazed and powdered donuts which where left for the chickens. As I worked my way over to the donuts you could hear the excitement in the air as all the chickens started to chatter it was as if they where calling out to me for their snacks. As I went from cage to cage I was greeted with happy faces, silly dances and many crows. Once the snacks where handed out I went into the barn to see the baby goats. When I came to the farm on Tuesday there where seven now there where nine. Pam and Mary where busy feeding the babies while Karl was doing some electrical work. I was surprised to see five baby goats running around the barn loose playing, jumping and begging for attention. The babies where content with being out with everyone and playing in the barn. This is a whole new experience for me and to be with nine bouncing baby goats at once is a wonderful feeling and to think there is going to be about thirty more. I took a few minutes before I left to feed Philamena who is now a professional and easily drank all of her bottle with confidence. The weather was not good today for taking pictures but the weather this weekend will be perfect so I will make sure and get lots of baby goat pictures. So check back soon to see how the City Boy on the Farm and all his friends are doing at the Dancing Goat Farm.
