Thaddeus Farms

Thaddeus Farms We are a 3 acre homestead farm located on Wadmalaw Island, SC. We raise goats, chickens, quail and rabbits.

We are a small 3 acre homestead farm located on beautiful Wadmalaw Island. We believe good animal husbandry is of the utmost importance. Although not originally our focus, we have grown to love and appreciate our goat herd and really decided to focus on growing our herd of does into the strongest, most maternal and best herd we can. The goats have really become our main focus as we've fallen in lo

ve with these quirky and rewarding animals. We currently run a herd of 15 does with a seperate buck pen for our stinky boys. we kid in early spring and there is nothing cuter than having a bunch of goat kids bouncing around the barn. Our chickens are allowed to free range during the day, scratching in the dirt, eating bugs and sunbathing in the sunshine. At night they are locked in secure coops and runs to protect them from the coyotes, foxes, raccoons and other predators found here on the island. Our rabbits are raised in a colony setting because we believe they live better, happier lives this way. The does will often assist each other in raising their kits and our buck hang out in their bachelor pad looking pretty until their services are needed. We let the does self wean their kits, afterwards growing out in rabbit tractors on fresh grass. We grow our quail in raised colonies we affectionately call quail jails. If you've never seen a quail take a dirt bath in a box of dirt you are really missing out. We have guineas that free range the property and provided excellent pest control. We also have a miniature zebu bull, 2 mamoth donkeys, geese, barn cats and a bulldog that thinks every animal on the property belongs to her. Our farm is named after Lindsay's Grandfather, Thaddeus Owens, who taught her as a child how to turn eggs in an incubator, how to clear your throat to get a turkey to gobble and if you jump at a male peacock he will drop his feathers for you, among so many other helpful tricks and tips. People called him "The Bird Man" and she misses him terribly. When the time came to name the farm, there was absolutely no hesitation on our part to name it after him. I would like to think he would be quite proud of us through both our successes and our perseverance through our failures. Farming is as much about learning what doesn't work as it is about learning what does.

In the day to day business of spring I forgot to introduce little Biscuit properly. Honey who was about as wide as she was tall gave us a surprise by having only a single doeling on Tues. Biscuit is settling in nicely and doesn't run, rather bounces sideways everywhere. Allie has declared that Biscuit is HER baby goat. The love is NOT mutual 😂

And then there was 5. Marigold, our skittish first freshener, gave us yet ANOTHER little buckling this morning. Po'Boy is loud, bouncy and has ALL the energy. His momma is a bit unsure, but so far so good. We'll keep an eye on them and make sure she settles into her roll as momma.
