We are so excited to be able to accommodate some small animals on our property. The Sullivan's gave us 5 hens and a rooster and they are so much fun to watch. They spend the day pecking around the yard eating lots of bugs...YAY! They haven't started laying eggs yet, but it should be any day now. We are looking forward to our free range farm fresh eggs for breakfast...mmmm!
Also, we plan on slowly working at clearing some property to be able to raise a couple of cows. Since we don't have a ton of extra time to be doing this currently, we thought we would purchase a couple of goats to help start the job. Our new pygmy goats, Clover and Daisy have been happily eating brush for the past week. It is hard to believe how much those little things can eat in a day. Rich is going to enclose a little area of the tractor shed to house them at night and when it gets cold, but for now they are in his workshop. P.U!
Living out in the country has taken a lot of getting used to, but little things like watching the animals peck and graze about the yard has made it a little easier.
