Checking on the Chicks

This morning I checked on all the chicks to make sure that they are all feeling good.

Getting out of the Rain

Saturday morning it was raining on and off but at one point it started to rain so hard that I had to run into the barn. As I entered the barn I saw three goats eating while another goat just watched me wondering what I was doing. The barn is the main building that houses the goats and the goats milking parlor. In the barn there are young and adult goats housed in several different stales. I visited with the younger goats as well as the rescue cats that live in the barn to see how everyone is doing. After about twenty minutes the skies cleared and I went back to feeding and cleaning the chickens and quails but I was glad it started to rain because it gave me the chance to visit with the goats and cats. Well it is the start of another week and I will be back again on Tuesday so check back soon with the City Boy on the Farm.

Hello from Tex

While working on the farm in the mornings I am always visited by Tex wanting to say hello.

Keeping a Watchful Eye

I took a moment to check on the new baby chicks today while Momma keeped a watchful eye.

Special Snacks for a Special Morning

Every morning when I come to the Dancing Goat Farm I clean, feed and gather the chicken and quail eggs. Some days there are older vegetables, fruit and bread that have been donated to the farm and these items are made into a special snack for the chickens. On these days after I am finished with my work I start to prepare the donated items and as soon as I begin all the chickens start to chatter very loudly in anticipation. While preparing the special snacks the chickens watch my every move patiently waiting for their turn at being served. As I go from cage to cage to serve the snacks I am greeted with loud crows, fancy dances and fluttering wings the whole farm comes alive with excitement the donated snacks really do make it a special morning. Well I will be back at the farm tomorrow so check back soon with the City Boy on the Farm.

Complaints about Gathering the Eggs

While gathering the eggs this morning a protective hen voices her complaints.

Saying Hello to Motley

In the barn I noticed Motley perched on one of the stalls so I took a minute to say hello.
