Had a delicious Thanksgiving lunch & then spent the evening washing & grooming goats. We'll be leaving in the AM to head to Winston-Salem North Carolina for the East Coast Thanksgiving Extravaganza ABGA goat show. Ginger & Cinnamon don't seem to be quite as excited about the show as Danielle - especially when Danielle dressed them in their funny new "goat tubes" to try to keep them clean tonight after their baths.
Tumbleweed & Sprout are so much fun to watch. They've started bouncing around more trying to keep up with Trixie. Hard to believe they're only 1 1/2 weeks old.
Callie FINALLY had her kids. She actually cooperated and waited until the worst of the noreaster storm was over. Some of our 4-H goat club members were able to come over & see the birth of the 1st twin, Tumbleweed.
Danielle with Callie's twin bucklings - Tumbleweed & Sprout - 1 day old.
We went to pick up 4 does & 2 bucks today from M K Farms & we had an extra surprise - a little doeling that was born this morning. Trixie was just a few hours old when we got her & her mom, Sadie. Both are doing well & Danielle is already totally in love with the new baby. Now, if we could just get our Callie to have her babies!
We also had another surprise today when we went in the chicken coop - our muscovy duck, Caramel, had hatched a chicken egg! It was actually a pretty funny sight -- but she is very protective of that little chick. Hopefully, she'll be as successful hatching the duck eggs she's sitting on.
