Blood Ties

Busy busy busy! Spending a lot of time at the farm and not enough on my own place! Spring is in full swing!

The farm geese hatched out three goslings. They are pilgrim geese, the only color sexed breed of geese. The males are white- sometimes with gray patches, and the females are gray. The male goslings (2) are yellow and the female is dusky.



I finally snuck a pic of Bonnie's twin bucklings out of Zeus. Still, they were hiding.


My oldest, C, has been working the last few stretches at the farm with me. Here he is with the silly filly, Estrella, who walked right up to my camera and slobbered all over it.


Willow came in today, and had a chance to feed the bottle baby, one of Ursula's twin bucklings out of Nibbeola.



And one more doe yet to deliver, doesn't she look comfy? LOL. Uureka.

Babies!

Ursula's twin bucks


Ursula's buckling ("I'm NOT an Alpaca!")


Ursula. I love her long fringes! She is Badger's Mom. Notice her broken horn that grows around against her head. Poor thing loves it when I comb under that horn!



Here's Nive's little doeling (left) and Lillemore's blue eyed buck on the right.


And lastly, here is Lillemore's doeling.

Tuesday

Gained an extra hour yesterday. I reset my alarm the night before, adding an hour, and was really tired when it went off, but I went about my usual routine and woke the Willow up just before the time to go...then looked at the time on my cell phone and realized it was 7 am and not 8.

Apparently I had also bumped the time on the clock up an hour...lol

Typical mercury retrograde thing...

So, we went to the farm early and found Ursula with twin bucks. Her due date was May 18th. LOL. Little oopsie on that calculation...The count at the farm is now 2 does, three bucks, with Bonnie and Lillemore still to deliver.

The weather has been a bit wild; sunny and then rain and wind, then sunny, with fast moving clouds. And the black flies are out- but not biting...yet...that must be a record! Too bad I don't keep track of that stuff...lol
