Yesterday and today haven't been too eventful. Our goats had had upset tummies from the switch in food, but are all better now*. The chicks and chickens are all doing great. We took the older 6 chicks off of the heat lamp tonight. Our chickens are all really nice, but some are pretty skittish and 1 little hen can get a bit mean sometimes. This can be a problem at Fair though, when everybody's stressed. To fix this issue we've decided to have barn buddies! Every night when my sister and I close up the barn we are each going to pick 1 chicken that could use some love and carry it around while we do the chores. This can really improve some nasty attitudes and it's fun to have some fluffy company during work! That's about it for today though!

ReplyDeleteI agree, I loved when I was reading it that I could go to the Goatie Gals page and find out the facts and could keep reading Barn Buddies, It also keeps it so organized. I Love this Blog.
