Tulip Bred?

Ok... we're on Tulip watch to see if shes been bred. I'm pretty sure she got bred on Dec. 11 by my neighbors lil buck. But from today til Jan. 1 I'll be watchin for signs of her to go into heat & if she doesnt then I'm takin that shes bred. If she is then she will be due May 5th - 9th. Tulips other momma told me she usually kids around 146 days, so that would make May 5th her due date.

Day 1: So far no signs of heat. Yay, 3 more days to go.

Lil Peep Layin Her Egg...

I caught her in the nestbox this mornin layin her egg...

She laid the lighter colored egg

Pretty eggs, I collected 9 today.

Goats In The Kitchen...

The teenagers are so funny...

Look who they let in the kitchen while Brain & I were outside helpin my momma carry her stuff in for her Christmas visit with us. Never a dull moment at our house!

My Oklahoma Hens Are Layin...

Do you remember the post on when my Oklahoma Chickies Hatched... Well my sweet Oklahoma chicken/crochet friend mailed me a dozen hatchin eggs last spring... 7 hatched. I lost 1 pullet over the summer due to the heat... I got 1 rooster & 5 beautiful hens out of the April hatch & the hens have started layin...

I think hes a beautiful rooster

& I love her coloring

The one on the lefthand side is a Oklahoma hen :)

...Lil Peep...

I caught lil peep in the coop layin her egg in the nestbox this mornin...

Chickens & Egg Nog...

I made some homemade egg nog today...

and the barnyard animals thought I made it for them, lol

Goat Girls Grazin & Porkchop Munchin

Its a nice sunny day here all the animals are enjoyin it. I walked the goats over to the pasture then decided since it was so nice I'd grab my crochet project & sit outside to watch em...

I let Princess Porkchop out of the barnyard to munch on some grass. I sat outside to eat my lunch & guess who I can to share with, lol

Who could resist that face?!?!

One cookie for me & one cookie for her

Here ya go girl... her nose is so cute :)

She wanted more! lol

Goat Lovin Is In The Air... Tulip

I noticed Tulip is in heat so I ran her to The Boyfriends house this mornin & as soon as they saw each other goat lovin was in the air! I stayed to see if anything was gonna happen & lets just say there was alot of flirting & mating goin on. Tulip did the hunch thing after acouple mates. I really hope shes bred... if she doesnt come back into heat in 18-21 days then I will know she is. I'm hopin Our Little Farm will have goat babies this May! I'll keep yall posted.

Goat Lovin pics. H-E-R-E

Info on breeding & heat

Now I have to watch for Star to go into heat...

My New Hens...

I picked these 6 girls up Monday from my friend The Goodwife... she couldnt keep them anymore because they are movin to Montana. I'm sad to see them move out of Kentucky so fast but happy for them on their new adventure. I'm thankful God brought them here & we got to meet in person & became real life friends, I'm thankful I got to buy Tulip & Star from her.

The white ones are Delawares, the brown ones with the feathers on their cheeks are Salmon Favorelles, the dark brown one with speckles is a Speckled Sussex, and Afrane Jane is a Silver Polish... she belonged to The Goodwifes daughter. These girls are beautiful & they have given me 4 eggs so far, I put them in the Silkie coop/pen

Happy girls at their new home :)

Bred Or Not Bred...

That is the question... You see there is a chance Tulip & Star are bred, they hung out with The Goodwifes buck for a few weeks before she sold him & if they are bred they should be due the end of this month. So I'm tryin to figure out if one, both or any are & get prepared.

Please click here & look at the other pics. then let me know what you think,
