Spring has arrived and so have the goat kidlings! Two bucklings and four doelings. All healthy and cute. The first doe, Emmy, kidded on St. Paddy's Day, so I named the first born "Patrick". Jalapena kidded the

next morning, 3/18, and Heidi on 3/21. In one week, the herd has doubled and the goat yard is filled with jumping, romping and leaping goat babies.

Here's a photo of one of the Muscovy ducks, using a dog house as her nest. It takes about 35 days to hatch the ducklings. She's been off the nest enough that I wonder if the eggs will hatch.
