With 4 small kids and a never ending amount of farm work on top of “normal” things, we’re always trying to find ways to incorporate the girls into things we need to get done!

They’re always so eager to help and it’s our prayer that the small, ordinary moments are some of their fondest memories. HOPEFULLY one of them enjoys animals as much as their mom does 🤞🏼🐐🐔 🐶 🐱

UPDATE: All have been spoken for!

Remember when we had that straight run of lavender Orpington chicks in the spring? If you guessed SIX out of the 10 were roosters, you were right 🤣

Anywho, who wants a rooster? We only need one and have 4 of these handsome guys needing a new place ASAP!

Reach out to me and PLEASE share, they’re ready to share their cock-a-doodle-doo with you 🐔

FARM UPDATE:
Ive said it before and I’ll say it again and apologize each time: I AM A TERRIBLE CONTENT CREATOR 🫠 on top of having all the animals to care for, human babies are the neediest (but sweetest 🥰) we’ve been adjusting to life with 4 and figuring out how to get the things done around here and to not end up like the guy at the end of these pictures! (full disclosure he was no farm animal of ours just what our golden came up from the pasture with already missing parts 😅)

GOATS 🐐
-Rousey’s two boys found their new homes together
-We integrated our Nubian Tina into the rest of the herd. She’s besties with Elsa and Fiona (our two retained doelings) and Rousey (the queen of the herd) is still giving her daily reminders that she is the boss.
-My sweet hubby and the girls built the goats their own toy which they LOVE
-I typically milk all through June but decided to give myself some grace and call it quits early (don’t worry, we have enough for all the soap making this year!)

CHICKENS 🐓
-Fairly certain I’m ending up with 5 roosters (hoping the little guy in the picture is a sweet man because he’s my favorite and I want to keep him
-I’ve integrated the young ones in with our chickens in the big barn and it’s gone well! We have 5 more ladies that are 6 year olds in a separate building (our OG ladies as we call them). Once the first set is adjusted they will be joining everyone else. Chickens in two places is nonsense 😅

Enjoy the videos and pictures, I’ve been in the kitchen mixing up some new soap recipes and will make a separate post full of more info about that soon! 🧼

In all the goat chaos I forgot about sharing our new chicken additions, lavender orpingtons!

These sweet souls are 4 weeks today and we got them as a straight run (thank you 🐥). So that means there’s a 50/50 shot we could get roos or hens.

How many are giving rooster vibes in the second to last picture? 😅 we have two different areas we keep chickens on our farm and our goal is to keep two of the nicest! We’ve only ever had bantam roosters and they were NOT nice (tiny men, big personalities).

Stay tuned for their gender reveals in the coming weeks, praying for more hens than roosters! 🩵🐥🩷

Cat napping like the queen that she is 👑

Martha has fully embraced her roll and duty as our official mouser here on the farm. Over the years she’s become less zealous in her pursuit of hunting creatures but I think she’s put a healthy fear into them with her presence alone that we haven’t seen a mouse in our barns in years!!!

She may be aloof and only want pets on her terms, (except from Coleman who she LOVES), but we don’t take it personal. Praying she lives a long, safe, comfortable life here on the farm.

Welcoming the newest girl, Tina!

This sweet, floppy eared baby is a 3 week old Nubian doeling and the absolute sweetest 🥹 (see the last picture to get the full image of just how floppy those ears are!)

She will be a full size dairy goat producing almost double of what our Nigerians do with VERY similar milk content. She’s quite a ways off from having babies so for now, we get to enjoy building a close relationship with her snd getting her used to the craziness currently existing on the farm.

Stay tuned for updates and to see how she integrates with our Nigerian babies! 🐐

Rousey’s boys are 5 weeks today and filling in BEAUTIFLLY. These guys are SO full of personality and have been fun to watch.

The best part, they are still available! We’d love for them to go together but can be separated as long as other goats are there to keep them company.

-the are in tact (can be banded at 8 weeks)
-will have horns
-have the prettiest baby blue eyes
-can go as bottle babies now or weaned 7-8 weeks

Reach out to discuss pricing (priced to move) and we are ALWAYS happy to have you out to meet them!

In case you need a reminder, here it is; MOTHER’S DAY IS IN 7 DAYS.

I love to give (and receive) a good gift box! We’ve created two varieties with the packaging already taken care of for you (you’re welcome). Head on over to our website (link in bio) to place your order for local pick up or delivery. SUPPLY IS LIMITED.

As always, make sure to like/follow our page and share this post. Every little bit helps and is SO appreciated 🤍

And then there were 4!

Rousey’s twin girls and Kimmy/Kendall’s boys went to their new home today (all together, yay!). We will be retaining the last two girls and will make individual post introducing them in the near future.

Both of Rousey’s boys (the two black/white ones in the picture) are STILL AVAILABLE. They can go as bottle babies anytime now. Reach out with any questions or interest!

Hopefully everyone is enjoying this sunny day, we sure are in the Midwest! Thanks for tuning in ☀️ 🐐

In all the baby goat excitement we forgot to share…BABY CHICKS!

We’ve had these ladies for the last 2 weeks now and everyone is doing great! We picked breeds for egg color (fellow chicken owners will understand this) and production! They’re a mix of Leg bars, orpingtons, olive eggers, sapphire jewels, and green queens.

We’ll mix this in with our goat content as we go, and will share another cute chicken update tomorrow because my chicken math is not so good (also another thing chicken owners will understand) 🐣 🐥 🥚
