Bath time!

Rosie taking a morning swim.

A few days ago all of my goats got a bath, while I used my new milking stand my dad and I built! 

Lilly has been giving me almost a quart of milk each day! 

Rosie is still incubating her eggs! She has only about 2 more weeks to go. I have to get her off the nest about 3 times a day, so she can eat, drink, and swim! She is very dedicated.

 And Buddy after his bath! He got his beard washed as well as his 

body and I did a little hair-do on his back while putting the shampoo on!

Broody Duck

 Rosie has finally decided to go broody, and is incubating eight eggs! Today is day six, and she is very dedicated to her nest. If I get too close, she will puff up her feathers and hiss at me!

 Rosie and her eggs!

May-2014

This month has been a lot of fun...

There has been baby rabbits staying by my house.
It's fun to watch them growing more and more everyday!

Last Saturday, Lucky went to his new home. We will miss him! Happy Hooves is staying though!

Lilly has been our milk goat, giving a quart of milk a day. 

Katie, our puppy has been growing so fast! She loves to play with her big sister Cuddles.

All the goats expect Buddy, got their first bath of the year! Of course they hated it, but they sure did need it after staying in their sheds all winter!

We have been taking advantage of the beautiful weather here in IL, by taking walks and bike rides! 

We also have many Hummingbirds flying around their feeder! They love it!

 Lucky and Molly .

 Lucky has a very good smile, don't you think?

The Hummingbirds love their bird feeder!

GOATS!

Today was hoof trimming and picture day with the goats! They are so cute, I can't help but take lots of pictures!

 Happy and Lucky are learning how to walk on a leash now. They didn't like it at first, but they are finally starting to get the hang of it now!

*Please ignore the pellets in the backround*

 Lucky is getting horns!

 They love to just sit in my lap.

 Either Happy is getting really big, or Tilly is just really small!

Molly loves her chair!
