This is the season of the kid.

Well, while in Costa Rica, we lost a few more birds, but when we returned, Barry had stuck a momma and two chicks in the mobile coop. The one likes to ride on mom's back.
Meet Rosie and her baby billy, Samson. They are residing with us temporarily.
Cleaning up the barn a bit, getting ready for some kiddin'! There's not just one, nor two, pregnant goats in the barn, but several. as of today (Feb. 10th), there's six new kids in the barn.
This is the new kiddin' area for the preger does. This is Dodie, on about
Jan. 12th, getting ready to kid.
Tara, helping the newborns find the milk.
Dodie, after kidding two goats, one more to go!
Dodie's last was 'Sugar', the one on the left. we had to assist that little one a bit. She's a little sweetheart now.
Proud mother of three new kids!
Started with 42 chicks in the oven, after candling them, like 20 - 25 of them are
still viable. Should get a good turnout. They're due on the 16th of Feb.
