Chloe was getting close to delivering her babies so we checked on her every couple hours. She apparently did not appreciate intrusions to her privacy and squirted out three little buckings when we weren't looking. What to name them . . . Tom, Dick, and Harry? . . . Larry, Moe, and Curly? . . . Casper, Melchoir, and Balthasar? If we can't think of anything creative it might be just the colors of their jackets: Blackie, Blue Boy, and Red.

We are snowbound out here but have dug a path to the chicken house. Eggs will be rolling out Wednesday and Friday so let us know what you need and thank you!

Three little bucklings--one day old.

🐐 Chloe is the undisputed leader of the goat herd, very pregnant (as you can see), due to have babies tomorrow. We needed to move her into the barn but she wouldn't leave the others in the goat shed. Stubborn old goat! So we moved all the goats into the barn and Chloe, not wanting to lose her herd, took up the rear. We got Chloe into the kidding pen, and the others went back to the goat shed. Outsmarted an old goat!

After Cole and Tessie cleaned mice out of the barn, they went outside for gophers, rabbits, and mice who thought it best to stay away from the barn. Tessie found a fence post for a good "deer stand" and will stay there until she's ready to pounce. Mama Frosty is in the background checking things out from her shed.

🥚 Let us know what you need for eggs this last week of February--Wednesday or Friday. Can spring be far away? Hope springs eternal for Minnesotans! 🌱

Henrietta had a big announcement the other day. I went to her nesting box to see what all the fuss was about--a dandy double yolker. Not sure if she was bragging or hurting!

🥚Let us know what you need Wednesday or Friday--egg delivery right to your door!

p.s. And . . . this day and every day the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King continues:
civil rights for every person in our country
human rights for all people in the world.

Thank you!

Its plan to warehouse immigrants has shades of N**i concentration camps and America's shameful imprisonment of Japanese Americans during World War II.

Princess cuddled up with her twins under the heat lamp amidst cold weather over the weekend. Patch a.k.a Ryan and T-bone were beautiful little bucklings, but genetic testing and a quick veterinary procedure gave them a new gender identity. Now they're the Wether Boys and although they will never have kids of their own, their good looks and precocious personalities make them great pets. I think we'll keep 'em.

Chickens are keeping the coop warm and eggs are rolling in. Let us know what you need and eggs will be at your door Wednesday or Friday.

Thank you!

Some of our chickens are young, just starting to lay their eggs. Some are "middle age" and have been around a while. Some are old and will soon be shipped. How to tell them apart when they all look alike? Leg bands. Old birds have red bands, middle age birds have no bands, and (like in the video) new birds have green bands. Banding lets us know how old each chicken is, which chickens to keep and which to ship. It's not rocket science, but it works!
Eggs are coming to town this week. Let us know your order for Wednesday or Friday and thank you!

🌈A rainbow stopped over our house after the on and off rain we had over the weekend. Terry was out of town and I was going to surprise her when she got home with the pot of gold that was sure to be at the rainbow's end. I ran inside and found plenty of pots--no gold (sigh . . . ).

🍳 What we do have, however, is golden egg yolks with fresh eggs delivered to your house this week. Let us know when you'd like us to be there--Wednesday or Friday and thank you!

After stripping bare the lower branches, Terry's goats have to dance on tiptoes to browse higher up on pasture trees--mamas teaching their little ones the latest dance moves.
Eggs come to town Wednesday and Friday this last week of August (all ready?). Check the fridge and we'll see you then!
