Chicks enjoying the Morning

This is a picture I took this morning of the chicks at the farm with their feathers filling in.

Goats and Chickens Hanging Out

This morning was nice and cool on the farm and all the animals were alert and active when I arrived. I cleaned, feed and gathered the eggs from the chickens and quails and then changed all of their hay. I also took time to show the farm to my friend Tony and his son Chris. While they were at the farm Chris helped me clean out a few of the chicken enclosures and Tony took pictures of the animals. After they left I went back into the barn to do some more work. As I began working I heard chickens chattering loudly somewhere in the barn so I decided to go and investigate. I went from stall to stall and finally came upon the source of the disturbance, it was Tex and a few of the other free roaming chickens. The chickens were interacting with the goats in their stall and scratching through their hay while chattering loudly. I stood there and watched all of them for a little while but I still could not believe it Goats and Chickens Hanging Out. Well I will be back again tomorrow morning so check back soon with the City Boy on the Farm for more interesting stories, information and pictures.

Bing's first Babies

I have been helping out at the Dancing Goat Farm for about five month's now. I was lead to the farm by my polish rooster Bing after I rescued him from my neighborhood. Bing is about a year old now and he lives in a nice large enclosure on the farm with three polish hens. Three weeks ago I gathered three fertilized eggs from their nest box and placed them in a special nesting cage along with a broody chicken named Sweet Sally. Sweet Sally sat on and protected those three eggs for twenty one days and nights and on Friday three baby chicks hatched. I could not wait to get to the farm this morning and meet the new baby chicks and when I arrived I went right to see them. When I opened the door to their cage they all ran over to Sweet Sally for protection but after taking some time to talk to them softly and along with getting Sweet Sally's approval they started to let me pick them up and hold them it was a very special morning. After spending some time with the chicks I decided to bring one of them over to meet Bing and his three hens. When Bing saw us approaching his enclosure he came right up to the door and just stared at the chick quietly for a few moments and then he started to dance around in circles crowing loudly as if he was celebrating the birth of his babies. Well check back soon with the City Boy on the Farm for new updates on Bing's first Babies as well as all the other animals on the farm.
