Baby Chickens

This weekend the weather was beautiful on the Dancing Goat Farm and I was able to take my time and enjoy the animals after my work was done. I always like to visit with the baby goats as well as Philomena who is no longer little she has gotten very big and is larger than most of the other babies. I always make sure to visit with my rooster Bing who likes to welcome me with a very loud crow. I also like to spend time with several of my favorite adult goats as well as Missy the eighteen year old horse who is usually outside running around in her private enclosure. After visiting with all the animals today Pam asked me to set up a cage outside for five two week old chickens that had been living in the bunk house since they were born. I set up their new cage just outside the milking parlor in the barn and I made sure that the babies were going to be comfortable and that their new cage was secure. One by one I transfered the baby chicks into their new cage they were all a little scared at first but once I held them in my hands for a few moments they calmed down and went into their new cage quietly. When I was leaving for the day I went back to check in on the baby chicks one more time and they were all resting. Well I had another great weekend on the farm and I will be back again this week so check back soon for more pictures and stories from the City Boy on the Farm.
