The Rest of the New Arrivals

Well, we're finally done with girls having babies.

     Blaze three does
     Sallie a buck and a doe
     Vixen a buck and a doe
     Harley a buck

Maybe I'll finally get some blog time back again.

I doubt it though, dang human.

The Adventures of Kitchen Chicken: Day 16

I was certain I was going to die today.  I was standing on my roost, hoping those furry little aliens didn't dump it over, when...



THE ALIEN PICKED ME UP!!!!!  SQUAWK!!!!!!

It opened the hatch of the spaceship called The Kitchen and carried me through it into the beautiful sunshine.  Oh, how lovely!  Then, much to my surprise, I was home!

Oh blessed home with my peeps in the safety of my coop.

I certainly don't want any more scary adventures (but I do kind of miss that canned cat food).

The Adventures of Kitchen Chicken: Day 15

There has been an invasion.  The spaceship called The Kitchen has been taken over by a new breed of little furry aliens.



Most of them ignore me, but this one is bouncy.



This one is a monster!  I'm worried.

Noisy Change

You might remember that some does were not taking their kids to pasture.  Instead, they were leaving them with the bucks.  Well, the human said the bucks were no longer good responsible guys to be leaving the little girls in their care.  So she brought in some noisy machines



and some nice nephews, and they changed the fence.

Now those little does can't go in with with daddy goats.



They've joined us out in the big pasture.

Shirley

Laverne

Cinderella

I think they are quite happy with our nice pasture!

The Little Weaners

Thirteen little bucks are still shut up north to be weaned.  You'd swear they were being killed when their maas are near.  They yell and holler and want to nurse.  As soon as their maas go out to pasture though, the human gives them hay.  She even gives it to them before I get mine!

They look pretty happy!  Silly little weaners!

A Noisy Time

It's that noisy time of year when the human tells us that the little boys have to be weaned.

Lenny and Squiggy

It makes both maas and kids unhappy.

Penny Lou

Except for the two boys that she can't keep weaned.

Ralph and Clover

Chili and Betty Lou

Silly, sneaky bucks!

Feminist Goats

Here at Eden Hills, we believe in does having equal rights.  That means some of the maas here think the bucks should do their fair share of raising the kids.

Those daddy and granddaddy bucks do a pretty good job of looking after the kids.

Lunch on the Go

It looks like Kizzy's kids ordered lunch to go.

Here's lunch,

and there they all go!

The Sky is Falling

We had a little bit of rain this morning.

Some of the kids have never seen rain before.

They acted like the whole sky was falling.

Silly kids.

Kids

Some crazy maa's brought their kids out to the Back Forty the other night.  Then they left them at the bottom of the hill.



Not all the maa's forgot about their kids.  Some are really good maa's.

Some goat finally noticed their kids at the bottom of the hill.

 We all had to run down to be with them.



Those kids felt they had been horribly neglected.

It certainly made for happy kids when their maa showed back up with a snack!

Behind the Scenes

The human complains that she has to endure undue torture just to take a couple of pictures for my blog. She took this video to show you what's going on behind the camera when she's taking pictures in the barnyard.

Does that look so bad?

Bunk Beds

Kids just seem to love bunk beds.

Why do they always want to sleep on the top bunk?

Vixen's Does

Vixen has two does!

Aren't they cute?

Starting to Play

The new kids are starting to get out and meet each other and have a lot of fun!

Ah, to be so young and carefree again!

More Kids

Since my last update, four more girls have had their kids.

Penny has two bucks:

Stormy has a buck and a doe:



Maggie has two does:

Haley made up for her slacker sister.  She has two does and a buck!

We're all excited with so many little ones running around!  I especially like that they are on the other side, so they are not running on top of me.

They're Here!

You might have noticed the buck/doe count on my sidebar has changed.  We've had kids the last few days.

Bonnie with her buck and doe

Harley's doe

Vinnie and her twin bucks

Victoria and her twin bucks

The human says she's too busy checking goats and helping deliver kids to let me use the computer very much.  I'll try to keep you updated.
