New Residents


Eunice Unihorn was very surprised to hear that we have some new residents on the farm.

They're small, fuzzy and awfully cute!

We ordered chicks with our neighbors.

Believe it or not, they actually come in the mail!
In a box, marked "Live Chicks" and you just stop by
the post office and pick them up.
They tell me that bees come that way too.
I think I'd rather get a box of chicks!

Aren't They Cute!?






These are Eunice Unihorns 2 doe kids. Melissa decided to name them Spot and Blondie, and is considering keeping one of them for breeding. They are just the cutest little things, very furry and soft.
The personality of a Boer Goat kid is much more laid back and relaxed than the Dairy Goat kids. When you pick these guys up they just kinda lay there, totally unconcerned about the fact that you just took them from their Mother. The Dairy Goat kids would be freaking out and squirming around. Nope, it's just not a big deal for these guys.

Waiting is over for Eunice Unihorn

You may recall the post including a photo of Eunice Unihorn a couple of days ago. The poor dear looked ready to explode..and today was her day.
This afternoon Eunice delivered a set of very healthy twin does! Both have a light head and cape like she does and one has a red spot on it's back. Our daughter, Melissa, was very happy about this and plans to keep them as breeding stock for next season. Pics coming soon, they're very cute!
