new additions to {our little farm}... baby goats

I call this {our little farm} because that is exactly what it is... the kids just call it our farm. We got 3 new little billy {boy} goats about a month ago and they are the cutest little things. They jump and kick and climb on everything... it is fun to watch them. We have been bottle feeding them... they suck that milk down so fast, it is amazing... but recently we stopped so they could get weened and just eat grass and hay. I was really worried that they would starve, but so far they are keeping their little bellies fat and happy. The older kids each have their own... Clayton's is the biggest and has the spotted ears, he named him Captain... Sadie's is black and white and she named him Jumpy.... Wyatt's is brown and is the smallest, he named him Diego. The kids are just having so much fun.

{Our little Farm} is fun!

Chickens, Ducks and a Coop

The kids finally did it!... they finally talked us into getting chickens. So far it has been pretty fun taking care of our new little babies. They are growing really fast and getting their feathers. Sadly we have had 2 fatalities... Sadie stepped on one of Clayton's and Wyatt stepped on one of Sadie's. The chicks are just so little starting out... I have to keep reminding the kids that they are just babies and to be careful.

It took us about a week to get our coop built and it's a good thing we got it done, because those ducks are messy, playing in the water and their boxes {I had to change it a few times} were stinking really bad! Sadie named her duck Lollypop and the boys named theirs Flynn Rider, lol.

This has been quite the learning experience... it is fun just to sit and watch the little things play and eat, they are funny. I hope our kids really enjoy them.

 Everything is in bloom and it is beautiful.
