Spring has definitely sprung here on the Rahn Ranch!!! The hens are laying again; the does have been kidding; and the garden is tilled and ready to plant!
So far, we have had 14 baby boys and 13 baby girls (goats). They are so entertaining to watch. Kidding season is my favorite time of year. They are just so darn cute...

One of our Buff Orpington hens decided to go broody last month. Her efforts have been rewarded...a chick hatched out in the last 24 hours!! Three more eggs on nest may also be viable. Time will tell! (It takes 21 days for a fertilized egg to develop and hatch)

Lost one of our Red Bourbon turkeys from Monday's high winds when their hoop house caught a gust and blew over, injuring one.
We still have 21 turkeys left for the Thanksgiving holiday available for purchase.

We wound up with 30 baby goats this kidding season. They are so much fun to watch at play!
We have also added 29 guinea chicks to the mix this summer.
Out of the 51 new laying chicks we got this spring, we had 18 survive the buffalo gnats that swarmed the ranch for 3-4 days earlier this summer...at least one turns out to be a rooster! They have started laying eggs and will soon be incorporated into the main chicken coop.
