Is Spring Pekin Around The Corner

Photobucket

         These two little guys joined our farm last week. I had a flock of six ducks five hens and a drake, well they could fly so the decided when the pond froze over it was time to pack it in and fly south gaaaahhhh. Still crossing my fingers they will show up next spring if not at least we will have these two little guys. Yes they are a craigslist freebie find. They sound like a pair they are about a month old. Due to the mild winter we have been having so far this guys have been able to test drive the pond and they love it. They are Pekins and wont be able to fly away ( our other ducks would fly up to our neighbors and harass his ducks which where twice the size of ours and steal there food they where like a pack) I will miss the ducks flying around but at least the pond will be graced by these guys.

Awesome Mom

Photobucket
     Our two year old doe clover had a buck kid early on Wednesday. She didnt have much milk. So we decided to put him with Firefly my eight year old Lamancha doe who had a doe kid the day before. Well like the awesome mother we know Firefly is she quickly accepted and started licking him. I just love Firefly she is such a sweet goat.

The three kids

  Yesterday morning Clover had her first kid she was the last of our does that were due in February. He is Jaspers first buck kid after 7 doe kids. He looks quite a bit like Treasures doe and Smore which is not surprising because they are his aunts.

This healthy little doe was born this morning. She is Treasure's third daughter. Her father is our Lamancha buck Jasper. She continues Jaspers trend of just having doe kids. She looks quite a bit like Smore her full sister. We are now waiting on Treasure's first daughter Clover who is due within the next week or so.
