Goat education time ❤️

How about some Wednesday night education...

A Cleft lip and cleft palate are not the same thing… and honestly, this is one of the most misunderstood things we see when people talk about special needs babies. 💙🐐

Since we currently have residents with both cleft lip and cleft palate, we wanted to share a simple visual that explains the difference in a way that feels a little less textbook and a little more real life.

This isn’t just anatomy. It’s understanding that the difference between these congenital deformities can drastically change the care a baby needs.

It’s watching for coughing, nasal discharge, tiny changes in breathing, changes in feeding, or that gut feeling that something just isn’t quite right.

It’s learning that a baby who looks “different” may be doing beautifully… while another baby whose difference is harder to see may need much closer monitoring.

A cleft lip affects the lip and sometimes the nostril or premaxillary area. Depending on the severity, a baby with a cleft lip may still be able to eat, drink, breathe, and live a pretty normal little chaos-filled baby goat life.

A cleft palate is different.

A cleft palate involves an opening in the roof of the mouth, which can allow the mouth and nasal cavity to connect. That means milk or food can potentially go where it absolutely does not belong. These babies are at higher risk for feeding struggles, coughing during or after bottles, nasal drainage, poor weight gain, and aspiration pneumonia.

The simplest way to remember it:

Cleft lip = the lip/face area.

Cleft palate = the roof of the mouth.

That difference matters.

Understanding their anatomy helps us understand how to care for them safely, how to feed them better, and how to give them the best chance possible.

At Butterfly Valley, we believe different is beautiful. But we also believe different deserves to be understood.

These goats are not hopeless, disposable, or “too much.”

They're tiny lives who need someone willing to slow down, learn, adjust, and love them.

We hope this helps make this a little easier to understand — and we hope it helps more people see the worth in babies like ours.

After 2 days and more life lessons learned, Blondie is home and recovering from a c-section. Her single buckling passed. As bad as the whole situation was, I can't help but feel grateful that she is still here. Of course, there are complications that could occur, but she made it through surgery and is enjoying some good pain meds.

Birthing stall set and ready for you, whenever you're ready, Blondie! 😘

Hello everyone! Hidden G.E.M.s Farm is expanding in a new, exciting direction! But, in order to do so, we must downsize the poultry and waterfowl. That being said, we have a flock of production chickens and several ducks that need rehomed.
There are roughly 23 hens, ranging in ages. Breeds of hens: Rhode Island Reds, Speckled Sussex, a Barred Rock, Lavender Orpingtons, Golden Comets, Golden Laced Wyandottes, Olive Eggers, Ameraucanas, a Jersey Giant, and a few barnyard mixes hatched on the farm.
Duck breeds: 2 Runner hens (black and white), 1 Tractor Supply mystery special (brown drake), 1 White Crested hen, 1 full Ruen drake, and 1 Ruen mix drake (hatched here). All Drakes get along.
All birds can go together or split up. Perfect starter flocks! PM for more info and please share! Thank you!
